The more I think about traveling, the more its purpose unravels in my mind. I spend a day sitting in airports and airplanes. I struggle with foreign languages, customs, and railroad schedules.

Pissing Contest

Peeing statues outside of the Kafka museum in Prague. I tried to get a photo of Cay filling his water bottle but he refused.

Prague Cathedral

You can't come back from a European vacation without at least one photo of a cathedral. To be honest, they're all blending together in my memory. But I loved the rainbow reflection on the wall coming from the stained glass windows.

travel addiction as therapy
Since the early sixties I have been addicted to travel. Whenever life became tiring I would instinctively think of a place to to escape to to explore. Now stuck, my instinct is trapped by the virus. Your spirit, humor and perfect observations are unequaled. Thanks for beings so courageous in these weird, challenged times.

Brave to, during this Plague, travel through Prague.
Wow, I love how you illustrated your travel philosophy. And how well you told that train incident. I gave up my world traveling life when I felt the pendulum of international acceptance swing back to nationalism. I would have surely shared the fate of the other traveler.
