Europe Bound!

In one week I will be flying to Europe. I never thought I would get to make that statement. I always had dreams of international travel, but when my life changed a few years ago and I started living on a single salary, the dream got pushed into the background. I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to afford a trip "over the pond." Well, last fall the dream became a reality! After applying, I was selected to accompany a group of Tillamook High School students on a 10 day trip to Greece and Italy. We are flying into Athens, Greece then taking a ferry to the island of Capri and then on to Rome, Italy. I am most excited to see the artwork and architecture. The only expectations I have is to be totally amazed for 10 days. To be able to experience the wonderful sites that I have only read about. To see people and places that I know will enrich my life. To be able to photograph memories that I can incorporate into my artwork. I am coming back to this blog and will use it to describe my trip and share the experiences I will have. Now to get packed...
