Opps, I haven't posted in a while.....

Opps, I haven't posted anything in 3 years. How could I have neglected you all these years? I am back now. I promise to never neglect you again. The worst part is that I haven't traveled as much as I wanted in the past 3 years but its not like I haven't been places. Oh that is right, the past two years, I changed positions twice. Therefore, I have been quite busy proving myself.

I last minute decided to take myself somewhere. I was getting some anxiety about traveling.  The unknown can be scary. I didn't want to travel to some place new without someone to travel with. But, it makes me mad when I have to compromise while I am on vacation with someone. (I know crazy.) I realized that my momma didn't raise no non traveling punk because of bullshit.

I am in the Providence, Rhode Island area now. I managed to get some time off from work finally. I arrived yesterday. I decided to stay in Warwick. Providence, Newport and Block Island, all were too expensive per night. I figured that I could access them all via car from Warwick anyway. I will make sure to take pictures and post.

Saturday, July 21, 2012- Low Key Day

I went to a  Tai Chi  class today. I loved it. Due to it being in French, I didn’t understand every word. So, I did a lot of observing and following. The class was of more mature people. The classmates and the Master teacher were very patient with me. I speak French poorly. I can understand some French. I get lost in the conversation a lot. When I do understand, I am quite proud of myself, it is a brighter feeling when I can string a sentence together and have a short conversation. Tai Chi is very relaxing. You actually do workout. It makes you concentrate on what you are doing in this moment. the concentration is, I think, the most difficult. After the class, we had lunch. I took a nap. It was needed. Today is the Belgian Independence Day. It was cool to see the  Belgian Military  walking in the parade. My friend explained to me that Belgium has a constitutional monarchy. I was wondering why they were walking in front of this official looking dude. It w...

Why Using Public Bathrooms as a title...

Okay, I decided to call this blog, "Using Public Bathrooms." Why? When one is traveling, one is often using them. They can be awful and gross, clean, hi-tech and amazing or you have to pay for it. It is a common denominator. Every place you travel to has a public bathroom. One may have to search for one in an urban city. When your are driving on a familiar trip, you might have favorite rest stop.

What I have noticed while traveling.....

1. There is graffiti everywhere. I find this puzzling that there would be so much of it in Europe. The graffiti artists will always tell you that it is art. I think that is bull. There it was in all the normal places, highways, the insides in train systems walls, overpasses. Either the graffiti artists respect the older architecture or the government does well at cleaning it. Every major city has its own transit system. New York, I think is the best. London was a close second. 2. What tripped me out was Africans speaking German in germany. I thought, why this country and this language? It made me wonder why they immigrated there. I loved it. They were kids too. I guess that is another similarity to the States. There are so many people that speak English, I wouldn’t think would, do. I enjoyed seeing diversity in Europe. Like the States, there are so many people that are different. The different cultures and languages that are a huge mix. 3. Every country is its own specialty fo...
