Routing...



So this is tentatively where we plan to go. If you find yourself along this path, or even if not, we may perhaps be able to stop off and say hello. Have you ever thought about planning something like this? I will be the first to tell you that it is not easy, but that one of the first steps is to trust yourself and trust your companions. Without this understanding and mutual feeling of trust, you cannot accomplish anything. Also, be prepared for any "contingency." I learned this word in graduate school, and it is universally applicable that it makes me crazy! Thank you to our localization teacher Dr. Kieran Dunne. We had a CPR training class last night, thanks to our soon to be "en France" teacher, neighbor, friend and sister. We are collecting all of our gear and completing appointments, opening bank accounts, riding horses and living life as best we can meanwhile we plan on leaving by next Wednesday, September 15th. The countdown is pretty much here, and we hope to be ready for it. Life sometimes comes and we may not be prepared, but we march ever onward to the beat of the drum that we hear, even if no one else can. What a wonderful world it would be if each person followed their dream...and yet perhaps, would it all work out then anyway? Are we all truly following our dreams if we do not know what they are? We set out on this journey hoping to find something, and perhaps we will find nothing other than what we have at home, or will discover the true value in what we left behind. But these are questions that cannot be answered until we walk away and see what the world has in store. To conquer, to question, to seek and ultimately to find. For these reasons we march onward. If you're gonna be around, let us know and we will come by! God bless and keep you all!
