“All I could think of was that in two days, I was going to relive, here in the latter part of the twentieth century, something of the great human adventure that had brought Ulysses from Troy, that had been part of Don Quixote’s experience, that had led Dante and Orpheus into hell, and that had directed Columbus to the Americas: the adventure of traveling toward the unknown. ”
Coelho The Pilgrimage p.14
10 Days and counting until I will be traveling towards the unknown. It has been 7 years since my last journey. 7 whole years….. Wow. My last backpacking adventure took me from England to Athens. It was the most magical journey of my life. My soul grew and I realised that it was my dream to become a writer. When I reflect upon my trips backpacking across Europe; it is the feeling of absolute freedom that I remember most. All the weight that the world has ever put on you leaves and this sense of oneness with everything sinks in. The world becomes this grand and vast feast for you to enjoy!
I have been scrambling around all day to get my license renewed and a new passport. With only 9 days left it will be a tight squeeze. I have yet to book a place to stay in Costa Rica or even a ride to the airport, which is 3 hours away in Seattle. I lost my last true backpack for traveling; so I will have to buy another. Oh, and I need to find someone to watch Alchemy my Cat while I’m gone. So maybe I should get moving and quit writing….For now of course….Cheers
