"This is the beginning of a story...and what that story is, or how it will end. I and only I alone know that. ~ Gregisms"
Chasing a waterfall.
After my thirtieth birthday, I made a pledge. A pledge to go out and see the world. To see with my own eyes lies beyond "at world's end." And even though I did not make it to some exotic locale like Australia, the Arctic or somewhere in Europe. Puerto Rico served as a great stepping stone if there ever was one.
I will not bore about the details of my five day vacation in Puerto Rico and Culebra. I'll save that for another day and time.
What I took away from my trip to Puerto Rico was that I have not lived the life I was suppose to not yet. That there is more to the world than what's at the end of my block. Being immersed into another culture and language is at first a bit of a shock. For example, take something as simple as going to the grocery store. Now take away the ability to communicate with the cashier in trying to describe a fruit you are looking for. But I could not help having a smile on my face at my frustration.
I see my goal of going around the world and seeing everything that I can possible see as "Chasing a waterfall"
