Welcome

Formerly titled "The Traveling Job Coach" and then "The Traveling Athletic Director," this blog is
for me and my memory because it's not very good.
My memory is not very good. See what I mean?

This blog has also morphed into a place for me to share my thoughts on life and how I see the world.
These thoughts often bubble to the surface during my travels.

I don't concern myself with grammar. This is simply a place for me to record my memories,
thoughts and feelings while I travel.

I started this blog before my trip to Europe July 10-24, 2009. Email me at brosefield@gmail.com
whilst I'm traveling or comment on posts here if you see something that
strikes your fancy.

Yes, I used the words whilst and fancy in the same paragraph.

In the Footsteps of R. Langdon

No one ever accused me of being into art. At no point in time has
anyone ever said any of the following statements to me:

1. "Come on Rose, put down that paint brush and let's go play some
ball."
2. "Dude, seriously, all you've done is talk about the color pallette
in this gym. Give it a rest why don't you? We have a game to win here"
3. "For the LAST time, I don't have an opinion on who was the greater
artist, Da Vinci or Monet. Just finish your burger and let's get out
of here"

With that being said, however, I did enjoy my few hours in the Louvre
immensely. Yes there was a point in time while fighting the crowds to
get to the Mona Lisa that I thought I had made a mistake going in.
But once I got away from the crowds, I had a great time admiring the
sculptures, paintings and even the building itself. I'm sure it would
be an even better experience if I had a clue what I was looking at.

On the RER-B train now to Charles De Gualle airport for my flight to
Barcelona. About a 30 minute ride apparently. And oh by the way,
just about every metro ride I've been on has had some sort of musical
"entertainment.". Those are the biggest apostrophes I could find.
These guys don't hold a candle to the original guy with violin from
yesterday. We'll call him Franc

I booked an Easyjet flight for this leg of the journey. I have a
feeling it's not going to be that easy. If you don't know anything
about these budget airlines, just know that they offer flights for as
cheap as 5 euro or even free. However they charge you extra for
everything from carry on luggage to having a heartbeat. Should be
interesting

Coming down to the final stretch of this trek. Feels like only
yesterday I was riding a bicycle through the streets of Paris. Oh
that was yesterday.
