Again change stares me in the face as the upcoming adventure of inter railing. Early tomorrow morning we head from Eskilstuna to Stockholm and it all begins. I am excited as well as little anxious. Mrs. Rogers has done two month long inter rail trips and her tales sound wonderful. It makes me excited to build my own. There is so much to see in such a short time, yet we will pause for four days in Rome.
Writing these entries and looking over them, none of it seems totally real. To say I will be in Denmark tomorrow or that I have just been to the Louvre sounds obsurd, but while it happens it is believeable. It is difficult to express such strong yet cliche phrases.
I must prepare myself for my trip by finishing 'Angels and Demons' by Dan Brown. Everyone has been recommending it and finally I started reading it to get ready for Rome. It is indeed, 'a breathless, real time adventure, exciting, fast pace' read. I have already learned more about church history and the Vatican City than I knew before and will be thrilled to relive the adventure in the city itself. Lucky me. So will they find the antimatter? I will find out soon.
Now, I bid farewell to Sweden. Hey do (that means goodbye).

oh, how wonderful! how perfectly wonderful! Your pictures gleam of foreign sights and foreign lighting, that are both strange to my eyes yet familiar to so many who encounter them daily. and now you have had enough time to possibly find those things familiar as well, just in time to go off and see so many more foreign and strange sights before finally coming home and settling in your familiar and comfortable house with your familiar and comfortable aquaintances. how we long to embrace you and how we are thrilled in your adventures even from across the sea!
