As mentioned before, my friend eric was here last week. on his last day we decided to walk into France from the little town of Breisach on the Rhine, into Neuf Brisach in France. The walk was about 5k and the weather was pleasantly gray/springy. On our way eric snapped a shot of me in front of some white petal-ly flowes. He uploaded his photos today of his euro-whirlwind and then I saw this picture and it struck me as extremely familiar. I dipped into my facebook skills and wandered through the 999 photos of me (since my senior year in switzerland) and came across the picture of me in Pisa, Italy, almost exactly 3 years ago on the Europareise Trip through Italy and Austria.

It was bizarre having this close of a comparison, to see how much one actually does change over time. I guess this picture is kind of a bad example because I a) look like a care-free punk/hippie on the left and b) a good good posing person on the right… but I often write myself off as not changing and not very dynamic compared to the constant changing in my surroundings. Maybe it is some sort of defense mechanism, to stay the same in the world full of change, but who knows.
Not sure how interesting this is, but just a little introspection. before i leave for athens in the morning. hee hee hee. I just had to throw that out there.
peace and love to you all.
