During this long Thanksgiving weekend, I've been catching up on "processing" my many travel experiences of the past 18 months.  Writing about experiences helps me understand what I really LEARNED from them, and I love learning!

Here are some retrospective notes about my American perspective on visiting Stockholm, which, amazingly, I have now visited TWICE.

I took my first week-long vacation of 2014 this month, in November. It had been so long since I had that much time off, that I was shocked at how pleasant it felt to really relax. It felt healthy. It felt good.

Now that I remember what that is like, I'll be sure I don't wait so long between vacations again.

I went with friends to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I had a lovely time. Here are my three favorite pictures from the trip.
