quiet anticipation

I booked my plane ticket to Lijiang yesterday, an ancient town in Yunnan province. There is something about an upcoming trip. When you know you are going to another place. A place you have never been before. There seems to be a quiet anticipation that comes over you. You feel as if you are about to be let in on a secret.

All I need is my journal in my hand, my good friend at my side and my camera. I love that I live in a country where new places are at my back door. I'm looking forward to the trains we will be taking, the villages we will be seeing, the air we will be breathing there.

I hope I can take it all in.
