everyday

Everyday around 9:30-10:00, I get hit with the travel bug. Obviously, I'm in the office working around this time frame, so my only indulgence is to let my mind wander in between emails and hearing back from my clients.

Today I thought of Switzerland, mainly because of the UCI World Championships that are happening in Mendrisio.



I really overlooked this place.

I wrote somewhere a while back that I met a Swiss man in a McDonalds in Catania, Sicilia. He had nothing bad horrible things to say about his country. People are close-minded, which is a product of their geography. Mountains as barriers, valleys as comfort zones.

Perhaps he was the only man that thought this way. I mean...the Swiss embrace all cultures - they speak Italian, German, and French. Their national football team is filled with people of all ethnicities. What was this guy on?

I'm going to give it another chance.
