I started the day with the arrival of a new friend and the passing of an old one.
Standing on my balcony, overlooking the Black Sea on the other side of the world from where I was last year, I realized this place truly holds nothing more for me.
These places and things I have seen and done have been and are nothing without the people who made them special.
Machu Pichu was made magnificent by my friend Mauricio.
Colombia shone because of the people.
Honduras was enlivening rather than threatening because of Araí and Heart to Honduras.
Europe has been amazing,where it has been, not because of the history but the people who share their days and nights with me.
This trip has meaning because of the people I left and the people I have met.
Please take today and tell everyone around you how special they are. I’ll do the same.
Rest in peace, Karl. You always were faster than me.

Dave, man, happy birthday.
I didn’t knew it was today, so too bad I’m maybe a little too late.
Are you planning a trip near Belgium?
That’s beautiful Dave. People really are what make your adventure called life most pleasurable. Its no fun if there is no one to share the beauty, make memories, explode with laughter, weap in sorrow or sit in silence with. Yeah, life is meant to be shared…
Tim, wish I could say I was. The closest I will get on this trip is Germany or Italy before I head south to Africa. Maybe I’ll catch you in Asia somewhere?
