there are places i remember. (a list of memories that will keep me day-dreaming for a lifetime!)

1) dancing to the angelic voice, groovy bass and hypnotic drums of "regina" while clubbing in helsinki. releasing to the music, not understanding a word, feeling high.
2) disembarking in tallinn and wondering if i entered a dream-world. climbing the once highest observation tower in (medieval) europe and casting an awe-struck gaze over spires into russia while turning to see the gulf of finland and her unique coastline just upon the horizon.
3) looking at the arctic-circle and thinking "in my life i've crossed the equator and arctic circle!"
4) driving in the endless day-light to the worlds end. fighting the wind and cold while standing on the northernmost point of europe. inhaling crisp, arctic air.
5) attempting to block the sunlight from entering the car (where i tried sleeping to save $). only to awake in broad daylight with a layer of ice on my water!
6) landing in hungary and feeling at home.
7) getting lost in the hungarian woods northwest of the balaton and feeling good about it.
