Day 2-21 -- Travelling Thoughts

Another gorgeous sunny day -- a bit colder than yesterday, but big blue sky all day long.  Several tasks needed completing while others insinuated themselves into the midst of other work. Multi-tasking wasn't my strong suit today <smile>. Things did get done, with some items juggled into tomorrow.

I was thinking of travelling again today.  Perhaps the sun made me think of following it somewhere else. Or , maybe it was the work schedule. Regardless of the cause, it was nice to think of places I've been and those I want to return to and new places I'd like to visit for the first time. It isn't that I want to move somewhere else. I just want to visit other places for a short time. Heading back home seems to be part of the plan whenever I think about travels. Where do I think of travelling?  Way too many places on that list -- tropical, alpine, desert, jungle, metropolis -- they are all there.  I was thinking of the summer trip planned to a conference in Quebec City today as well as a few European destinations. Yet so many others come to mind, too.

These jaunts away from home are not really an escape, but rather a cultural enrichment process. I love history and cultural expression through food. Bringing these ideas home with me allows me to share experiences with others and expand the kitchen repertoire. The song today came to mind for a line that expressed the desire to find one's way home. The group has featured in this blog in the past and will likely appear in the future -- they are a favourite of mine. I love the relaxing tempo of this selection. Enjoy!
