Today was an ordinary day although a lot of extraordinary things happened. I met up with a friend I hadn’t seen in months. We only live about 25 miles from each other, but we can never seem to find time to meet up. It was so great to see her. She filled me in on her job, her husband, and there upcoming vacation. They normally go to the Caribbean or somewhere warm when they travel, but they decided to go overseas this year. She said that they will be traveling to Hungary, the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, and a few more countries. It sounded like an amazing trip.
People always say that once you travel overseas you never come back the same. The adventure is so overwhelming; not to mention the culture and a foreign way of life is something you will never forget. I’ve heard people say after traveling overseas that you also appreciate living in the United States so much more. The opportunities and freedom that the United States offers you can’t find anywhere else. As life changing as it may be, I can just imagine the knowledge she will gain. Surrounded by a different language in a strange town will either frighten you or deepen your faith. Depending on the type of person you are an adventure like this is not for the faint hearted.
