Within the past few days I have eaten fabulous food with good wine followed by the sweetest desserts. During moments of intense conversation and tranquil silence, I have come to learn many lessons. I have learned that the act of trying something new can often open up doors to new places, people and experiences, and found that putting doubt aside can sometimes lead to a surprising chain of events. I have realized that the sheer comedy of coincidence is something to be celebrated and that new friends can be found around any corner. Last but not least, I have found that every once in a while; the destination makes the trip worthwhile.

Perhaps I knew these things all along, but it is very nice to be reminded now and again.

Now its time for bed….tomorrow is a new day.
