I am in a wanderlust mood, so have been looking at photos from past adventures. It appears that I have been spending a lot of time, and walking a lot of miles in foreign lands. With my Fitbit (high tech pedometer) on my wrist, I have explored Austria, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Last year, my Fitbit logged an impressive 73 miles walked over the course of a 17 day vacation. I was quite proud of myself as I met or exceeded my 10,000 steps a day goal for 12 of these 17 days. Go Team Mimi!
And, as I like to walk with a camera, when I find art, I capture the image for my collection. Europe is the mecca for public (and private) art.
