Day 213

Day 213: I used to travel a lot more than I do now. In high school I went on two European excursions, and in university I went on two European excursions (watch those German escalators!). When I travel I like to collect souvenirs: trinkets, tokens and treasures. I've bought some really memorable things, some junky things, and everything in between. Two things I used to love collecting when I travelled were keychains and pins. As I haven't really travelled much since university I had more or less forgotten about these particular treasures...until today. I have a tote in the basement that is full of memories. I won't reveal *all* of the contents just now because it may prove useful for future Happys, but I was rooting around in it looking for something when I came across this bag of keychains, and this small Tupperware of pins. For fun, because I hadn't really looked at them all *since* my undergrad I thought I'd lay them all out and have a view. Well. Let me just tell you how excited I got as I viewed pins and keychains from exclusions all but forgotten, but they came rushing back as though it was yesterday. My trip to Pompeii! New York! Paris! And yes, Germany. Such lovely memories. Now I want to book a trip! I've never been to the UK. Always wanted to go...maybe that's something to start planning for. Anybody want to go on an overseas adventure? #365happydays
