Yesterday, as I walked down the sunny autumn street, headphones on, I realized I was smiling. I also realized I am never so happy, so expansively filled with magnanimity as I am just before I leave for a trip. It seems at those moments that it is what I am meant to be doing all the time.

And so, I leave this quick missive to let you know there will be photos and experiences to share on my return.

Ciao, friends!
