This conversation naturally sparked up talk of what we will do, what we will see, and what we'll eat, which also led into another about where we're from especially Samuel. Lizzie and I, having grown up in America, definitely want to travel the world and see all of the places outside of the United States. England being a very large one.
Everything across the pond seems so enchanting. Big Ben, Stonehenge, The Eiffel Tower, The Colosseum, Sydney Opera House and so many more glorious, awe-inspiring landmarks and landscapes.
I'm a junior in college and currently live in southern California. At this moment I need to either study abroad or save up lots of money in order to get myself across the Atlantic. But I feel like I'm not going to be getting there any time soon. At least not until after graduation, and even then, I have no idea how I'll get there.
I think for the most part I'd rather just get myself out of my comfort zone. Out of where I know. Over winter break, I flew across the country to Albany, NY and stayed with friends in New York and Pennsylvania, and I honestly had the time of my life. There was so much new and unknown. And it was quiet lovely.
I want more of it! I want to be able to just go and not have to worry about everything else. I want to learn the stories behind why that house is missing a window, and who carved their initials into that tree. I want stories to tell and share. I want to experience what I never thought possible. I want more leisure and play time to find out what everything means.
I luckily was able to experience some of that in the first half of May. Women's Choir tour took me on so many adventures, through so many states in the span of two weeks. I felt like each night was a new story, a new family, and a new song to sing. I'm really going to miss that.
