"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you have lived at all"    Leo Rosten

    Four Days Four Countries

    Man, travel wears on you. In four days I went from

    • Madrid to Basil Switzerland
    • Slept 5 hours in Basil and caught the early train to Interlaken
    • Spent the day and a rough rainy night in a tent in Interlaken
    • Caught the train to Milan, took a two hour bus ride to the Milan airport
    • Caught a 1hr delayed flight to Stockholm and arrived at 12:30am
    • Took a bus into Stockholm and arrived at 1:30am
    • Sat down and dozed outside the closed bus station until some wierd looking guy came to me and said "Do not go to sleep"
    • Walked around Stockholm until 5am, my 8:30 train was full so i wandered some more until 12:30
    • Then took a 3hr train to Sundsvall

    So yeah. I'm glad to be staying here in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden with Maria for a couple weeks. Actually get to unpack my smelly backpack and sleep in a nice quiet room for a little while.

    P.S. Sweden in beautiful, and the women are all tall, long blonde hair and blue eyes...ok not all, but most, the cliche's are true :-)
