An Excerpt From the Travel Journal

February 12, 2006

Today was spent sitting on several trains, and just so happens that this entry is being made in the midst of our jourey from Frankfurt to Vienna. So far it's been about 8.5 hours ands we still have 6 hours to go. It is interesting what a trek across Germany, along with music in your headphones, will do to the imagination of someone like myself. There is nothing that can be said to explain how small I feel during this ride. This ride doesn't seem like the regular down-time in between eventual destinations, and this may partly be due to the fact that instead of thinking what about our next stop will be like, I find myself wondering what next scenic inspiration we will briefly pass. I wonder what lifestyles of the people in these small villages is like. Would it be any different than my own? What differences are caused by this vast space between us.
