European travel journal – Day 10: A plane, a train, a bus, and an automobile

The plane dipped up and then down like the Thunder Run roller coaster at Kentucky Kingdom. I pulled down the arm rest by the empty seat next to me so I could grip it tightly. Whatever happens will happen I told myself as I breathed deeply in and out. You are not driving the plane.... [Read More]

I flew 4000 miles to London and took a two-hour train ride to Paris to find myself back at Indiana. This is the restaurant that greeted me as I emerged from the metro station near my hotel. There's a Kentucky Fried Chicken and a McDonalds on the square too. The McDonalds serves Kit Kat McFlurries,... [Read More]
