Coming to Heathrow airport this morning the driver had the song, “Everybody’s Talkin At Me” on the radio.  Was kind of a fitting song as I listened to the lyrics heading home to Australia.   My friends and I talked about this journey as being a trip of a lifetime, and it has been plus so much more.  It’s been an adventure in lots of different ways, and has ignited feelings inside of me that I have not had since I was 12 years old.  I sipped coffee in cafes in Paris, rode a scooter around Tuscany (thanks Luca), enjoyed voyages across Lake Como in beautifully made Italian wooden boats…
