I arrived back in the USA yesterday after a year in Malaysia and a whirl-wind 8 day tour of Europe.

While in Europe, I purposefully took a break from writing – all kinds of writing be it creative or blogging or whatever. My computer was lonely.

My focus was on family, fun, and exploration. It was fantastic.

But I have to admit that I’m ready to get back to writing mainly because I have so many different projects on my mind.

The project I’m gearing up for is writing the Christmas show for the RLT Players. Much more on that later, but I’m excited to get started on it. I have 14 different tangible ideas which will probably be boiled down to about 10 sketches when all is said and done.

My Europe trip still hasn’t had time to sink into my brain yet. I hope some of it comes out in my writing at some point in the future. I’m sure it will.

I also want to highlight and review a lot of the European sites and sounds over the next few weeks. But for now, here’s one photo per every country we visited which best represents our experiences.
