Travel revelation remembered #1

You can just go.

On the ferry, the Spanish man who took a photo for me also spoke fluent French. He switched between the two to explain why. He introduced me to his teenage nephew, who just nodded, and invited me to visit his family north of Madrid. Had I been traveling without a plan, I would have. On the bus an hour later, a German orchestra conductor told me to stay with him and his wife in their cottage north of Barcelona. Had I been traveling without a plan, I would have. And so on and so on.

  1. I like this because people often do not understand why I like to travel alone. I reply, "Had I been traveling with a friend, my most interesting experiences would not have occurred." And so on and so on.
