Around the World
Tomorrow i leave for LA. I'll be there for just over a day, visiting my brother and family, after which i'll head to Beijing. There i'll see Tiananmen Square, the world's largest public square and site of the infamous 1989 protests. Maybe stop in and say hi to Mao, resting in eternal frozen state, and ask him "Why?"
From Beijing i'll hopefully train it up to Ulaanbataar, where i'll horseback ride along the same steppes as the greatest horseback rider of all time. After 1-2 weeks i'll try to make my way to Europe (hopefully by plane not horse) to see my parents and extended family in Germany, and then down to Rome to see a couple friends. If all goes well, i'll be heading back to DTW on the 21st, 58 days under those other folks.
For a bit i was stressing about the cost of this trip, but then a friend of mine mentioned some yoga workshop that headed to Peru for a week, at a cost of $3600, not including airfare. There's no way i'll spend more than that on this trip, unless i get real drunk. Or lost. Or bored. Or mugged.
