After two weeks on the Ile de Groix off the coast of Brittany, 4 glorious days in Paris, 24 hours on trains through France-Germany-Belgium-Denmark, I'm now in Stockholm. On the island, I spent days with the Sanders family, so comfortable and so happy. I walked around in a land of the Celts, where white beaches meet up with wild cliffs on which the sea waves break.

Then I walked around Paris with Andrea, immersed the land of the French music and art... and tourists.

Now, I'm in Stockholm, with my dear friend Annika. Two weeks here, watching DVDs, taking walks in the Elf forest behind the house, walking around downtown Stockholm, going to museums and art shows... relaxing and refreshing.

This whole month is what I have needed to unwind in my own way. And I've had some interesting epiphanies along the way so far... I wonder what these last two weeks will bring.
