When I travel solo, I have a tendency to wear myself out. There is so much to see and do, and me being me, I feel I can do it all. So I do. Today, was no exception.
There is a Palace to see, a festival to attend, a bell tower to climb, and German food to enjoy. Not to mention the countless markets, streets, churches and interesting courtyards I will pass along the way.
Here are a few photos from the day:
This is me. In the World.
Two years ago, while traveling in Spain, I was set straight by a dear friend regarding something I clung to in order to establish my identity. As is common when traveling, I was often asked where I was from, and I always responded, "New York" as that had been my last stopping point. On a hot afternoon in Sevilla, my friend overheard this exchange and set me straight: "YOU are not FROM New York. (I'm not?) "People like you are OF the world, you are not FROM New York. Whatever you do, wherever you go, the world is your home...no matter where you have been or where you are going, you will always be of the world. Paige del Mundo. Sounds much better don't you think?" I thought it sounded cartoon-characterish, but I knew his idea was right. Exploring the world - locally or faraway - has always been my passion. So here is the story of Paige del Mundo. Paige of the World. These are my pages written while being in the world. I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I enjoy telling my story.
