Guten Abend mine Space Travelers. Ya! We are having fun now! He he.
It's been a while since I've strapped myself into plane and ventured off. I was investigating a trip to Europe for a while. I needed to get out and meet people; have a cultural experience. I needed to be put in a new context. I find that when I travel, I see myself in the third person (sort of). I think now is a good time for that. I'm coming out of a huge period of change and some reflection on who I'm becoming would be good.

The plan is to land in Berlin on August 31st, and fly out on September 13th. I have a rental car reserved, and everything else (like lodging or figuring out how to order vegan food in other countries...) I'll improvise. Not much of a plan, but I'm confident in my ability to make this work. In many ways this trip has many similar elements to my 2007 road trip that started this blog. I'm traveling alone, which in many ways seems like I'm missing out on the whole "sharing the experience." I do like to have travel companions, but there is something incredibly satisfying about the independence and autonomy of single travel. In 2007, I had not planned to hang a sharp turn and go off the planned route, but had I not, I would have missed Devil's Tower and (this detail stands out to me) the prairie dogs in the surrounding plain.
So I have a general path sketched out, but nothing in concrete. My goal is to hit Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Zurich, Frankfurt, and anything that catches my attention in transit between.
