Finding Place

What is it about some places that just make you feel at home?

Ever since coming to Europe, I have been feeling more and more at home.

Is it the kind treatment we receive on the streets?

Is it the slow pace of eating and finishing a meal, and dessert, and coffee?

Is it the daily pastry?

Is it the smaller portion size and better quality food?

Is it the presence of centuries of buildings?

Is it all the walking?

Is it the fun of finding fabric stores and making projects?

Is it the challenge of operating in different languages as we travel?

Is it the intimacy of staying in small hotel rooms?

Is it the instant camaraderie with other travellers?

Is it sorting out the confusion with public transportation and becoming competent?

We are certainly gaining skills in living in different countries, and friends and experiences.

It is all just plain good!
