Final Entry - Looking Back

Adam McRae, the winner of StormIt challenge (more pictures and comments)

I have had some time to reflect on my trip now that I have been back at home base for a little while. Any of the trials and tribulations during my month long trip have now settled as pleasant memories and entertaining stories. I do my best not to embellish to many of the details, but of course this is unavoidable. I really did have a good time. The regular Slovenian people I met were all so friendly and accommodating that I never felt like I was a stranger in a strange land. It was the easiest travel I have ever experienced. I have since taken to recommending the places I saw to other people. I do feel that this country should be included on anyone's European tour. In fact, once I got back I noticed an article in the Toronto Star travel section echoing my thoughts on the country. (Read it here http://www.thestar.com/travel/article/863687--from-slovenia-with-love-really). I have now also checked off a few more countries on my list and have added some new stamps to the passport.

Things are getting colder here in Canada. There is a mayoral election underway in Toronto, bringing to attention all of the things that frustrate me about my hometown. I have not killed off this travel bug yet, and the creeping winter and ridiculous sounding public transit overhaul plans are making it hard for me to plant some roots here.
I am glad that I had the opportunity this summer to get out and see another part of the world. Hopefully I did a little bit of good for the tourism folks. I have been telling everyone I know to get themselves over to Slovenia, but there is only so much I can do. I got to give my friend Jocelyn an escape from Canada for a while as well, and I can finally stop teasing her about having a blank passport. The first night I had out here in Toronto, I made sure to pick up some Lasko from the liquor store as part of my welcome back.

If anyone has any questions about my trip or wants to get in contact with me for whatever reason, my email address is adam.c.mcrae@gmail.com.

Thanks for reading my stories. Go to Slovenia. The End.
