It isn’t a secret. I am  traveling alone to many foreign lands. For some of them, I won’t know the language. This will be a test on how well I can manage on my own as well as to have fun and see other cultures. Mostly in the heat. 

Honestly I greatly appreciate everyone’s warm wishes regarding my health and safety as coming from a place where I am comfortable taking the T and walking around by myself, the thought that I can’t just go where I want at all hours of the night is concerning. I was also concerned about losing my phone and my purse. I think I have been careful but maybe the lack of sleep is getting to me as I have already lost my noise canceling headset. It was great as the engine noise just goes away and Falicia Dat was reading/acting out her memoirs so clearly. Amazing. 

I now face 12+ hours of engine. 

Bye bye magic earphones. You were great for the short time that I had you (T-T)

Umm.. Apparently my kindle 2. Great beginning to this trip

Update. Kindle found. Will be forwarded from Frankfort. No headphones.
