What an awesome trip you have planned. I am excited to read your posts along the journey. Intesting story about the old lady on the train. Thankfully, we don't all have the same life purpose and we aren't all meant to have and raise children. Despite this understanding, I've still mourned the fact that it an amazing experience that I will miss out on. But it often shocks me how much cultural expectation there is that one will have children without regard for whether it is part of what we are meant to experience in this life--if you don't you are 'defective' fun and safe travels to you! xo-L bon voyage, Miguel!

I trust you will be getting to cooler places as you get into the mountains. I so envy you your trip to Italy. Haven't been yet, only tortured by gorgeous pictures taken by students several times a year. I so want to see the Sistine Chapel, and some of the sulptures and art. Hope you have a fantastic vacation and write about it so those of us here can vicariously enjoy. It might also be a great chance to pick up a tasty and healthy bottle of olive oil, cheap, to bring back, if it doesn't weigh too much.:) Wow. Sounds fantastic.

It's still hard to believe I'm here. Now that I've been up for 72 hours straight I'm more or less seeing the city through a lens of blurred sleepwalking. It's hot, too! That was a surprise. Just as hot as Japan. The Swiss themselves as a whole seem to be amazingly fit, everyone doing exercise everywhere and Lake Zurich, a huge affair with a cruise ship plying its center, was alive with brown bodies swimming and sunning themselves. Made me feel very out of place with my little belly and ridiculous stretch hiking pants. Still everyone is friendly and already I've started meeting people on the street and trains. What a difference from Japan. Well, I need some sleep. Talk to you all again soon. Well, here I am, safe and sound in Zurich. It’s still hard to believe I’m here.

I did enjoy spending time with my niece and nephew last month and that was, and is, enough. Have a wonderful trip. I'll think of you! I’m not sad I don’t have children.

Once that you'll land in Zurich, life will look different. As regards the old lady, that was not her business, was it? I am confident that you’ll have a great time here in Europe.

As regards the old lady, that was not her business, was it?
