Traveling has caught up to me in a couple ways: the back of my neck is a darker brown than I thought my skin could get, my lip split from the sun and as taking longer to heal than during Minnesota winters, I have a blister on the botom of my right pinky toe - a place I’ve never had one before, I’ve lost a couple toiletries - including contact solution to stupid airport security during my first layover in Athens on the way to Cairo, and when I got to Egypt it turns out no one there wears contacts, and just today I noticed that I’ve lost a shirt - though I can remember the last time I wore it, I have no idea how it didn’t make it into my bag.

Still, I have been lucky enough to be fairly well-rested and healthy so far. That is certainly something to be grateful for.
