Distance is a heavy beast.
Day 15 of the European Tour.
I am in my home land. I haven’t been here since October of 2000. Its a bit puzzling and strange to be here, but I’m starting to remember some things. I am in Sofia currently. It’s cold and windy and dry. We are staying with an old friend who has been very kind to us. And in just a couple of hours we will make our way to my home town, Pleven. Im anxious. I didn’t get any sleep last night and I’m nervous to replace my memories with a much updated version of the city.
London was fantastic. We stayed with the very kind and accommodating Campling family, to whom I am forever greatful and in debt, right outside of London in a town called Peterborough. I caught a cold there and have been fighting it since. It’s dreadful to travel with the flu, and near impossible to play music with a head that feels like a balloon full with carbonated pudding. Sorry for the visual, but imagine how I feel, eh?
And lastly, but first on my stops in Europe, Paris. Ahhhh, what a gem. Really, every movie that has ever been made and every song that has ever been written is spot on: an unquestionably enchanting city. Without a doubt, a great way to start the tour. Now, since we’re on the subject of Paris, I have way too much to recall, and not enough energy to sort it out. So, I won’t go into details yet, all I will say is that I was dumbfounded on more than one occasion.
I haven’t had the best of luck with finding wifi, I get on facebook about as often as I can over here, so I hope the world on the other side of the pond isn’t feeling neglected.
This is great, but I can’t wait to come home. I miss just about everything I can think of.
Sickly,
X.
