Three years ago today…

I love anniversaries! I don’t mean the relationship type, but the kind marked by dates of momentous events and activities in my life. Kind of like birthdays and New Year’s, I guess they offer an interesting opportunity to think back on that same date in other years, and especially the event that made it a notable day in the first place. In this case, I’m talking about the beginning of my round-the-world trip—I left San Francisco for Peru on this day in 2004. My, how time flies! I love to think of all the unpredictable turns my life has taken since then. I certainly could not have predicted on that day that I would actually be living in South America three years later! Pretty cool.
