Travels with a Humble Narcissist

So begins the next year of my life. . .

I’m taking the train to DC to catch my flight to Amman, Jordan.

Petra, the Dead Sea, Kerak Castle, Wadi Rum. . .

Stuff of a boy’s dreams

Much planning, many sacrifices,

Large backpack, small budget,

Strong spirit, weak back

High hopes, and low expectations.

“The journey is part of the experience—an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca.” —Anthony Bourdain, A Cook’s Tour (2001)
