Travelogue

[jcd1013]

Today I went to Berlin, London, Norway, Denmark and Belgium! And I gained a new state, Michigan, for my visited state map, leaving only 19 to go! Wow! Very good work for a day off!

I have the whole weekend off, in fact, and was going to spend it camping... but I was post call yesterday, and came home to take a nap, and didn't wake up until 11:30 at night, and then slept in again today. So I took off today, drove through northern Wisconsin and Michigan, but I couldn't find a campground that was further than 10 feet from the highway, so ended up just driving back. Kind of disappointing, especially when I was so looking forward to being away from the city, where I'd have a chance to see the meteor shower. I stopped a couple of times on the way home but it was too cloudy/foggy to see anything. It was so nice to get away, to just drive and not think about anything. I had my first "made on a farm" Wisconsin cheese and saw the Packers stadium and had a picnic by a waterfall.

I understand now why they are called "golden weekends", these precious, rare two-days-together-off. I'm already getting sad at the mere thought that i have to go back on Monday...

That sounds lovely! Here the year's high-tailing it into autumn, after that brief, ferocious burst of summer in June and July. The weather is cool, but brilliant, and we'll go for a walk later today.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

You were in Michigan and you didn't come say hi?!?! I know, I know, Michigan is a huge state and being in Michigan doesn't mean you were close by, but jeez! Do you realize you've now seen a part of the state I haven't visited yet after living here for a year? I planned on seeing the meteor shower yesterday too, but I was too exhausted to stay up. Of course, Benjamin woke me at 1:30, 3:30, and 5:30, so I really wish I'd thought of it at one those times and gone outside for a moment. Alas, there's always next year. :) Glad you enjoyed your weekend.
