Still in Pursuit

To my dearest readers,

Are you still with me?!

Gosh, I sure hope so.  

I must apologize.  Here I went and created this website, told you all about my dreams and plans to get there, hopefully got you all excited and then I managed to drop off the face of the earth for the last few months. Sorry to be such a tease. It was not intentional, please know that, but the last three months have indeed been a whirlwind; running all over the earth, hurdling time zones as if I actually enjoy track and field.  

Without much internet in Skagway, I sort of forgot or stopped caring about computers and technology.  I got swept up in the moment of living and experiencing Alaska, which was a beautiful moment to get swept away in, but I forgot about telling my story even though it was still happening.  

It IS still happening.  I have things to share!  I promise to tell you very soon.  

Don’t get me wrong, it was really nice at times to leave the gadgets aside, but I made a commitment to you and this chronicle, but most importantly to myself.  I have to tell my story.  It is what will help me turn my dreams into reality.  That is how I function anyway; the more I talk about something, the more likely I am to make it happen.  My 2nd grade teacher once wrote on my report card, “Sara is doing very well in all of her subjects, but she talks a lot during class.”  I’ve been doing it for too long, I can’t shut up now.  This is my opportunity to talk to all of you out there and there’s no teacher around to say shhh.  

Last I wrote, I was in Skagway trying hard to keep all the cruise ship goers happy and fed, but mostly just working hard to save money so I could get to Hungary.  You may already know this, but I made it!!  As I type, I take glances out of our tiny, A-framed house kitchen window to the rose bush outside that is still managing to give us flowers.  It is only three thirty in the afternoon, but the sun is already falling fast towards the horizon.  The house was my grandmother’s, who, if you recall, was the remarkable woman who sparked all of this crazy traveling all over the world.  Now, here I sit near the banks of the Danube river, anxiously awaiting the next two months of my life here in Hungary.  I have stories coming.  No more teasing.  Seriously, the pork products here are out of this world and are sure to make for a good story.  I’ll tell you more about that later, but I assure you there will be much more action this time around.  I’m still in pursuit so you’ll be hearing from me again very soon.

Oh, and thanks for sticking with me.  It’s really nice to be back.
