All the way around!!!

We have navigated all the way around the globe. Our last third of the journey, leaving Malaysia we stopped in Tiepae, China for a brief layover, and then on to LA and then Phoenix. Our whole trip was smooth; no missed flights, lost luggage, no sickness. Everything was great. We feel like we got to experience life in Albania through the homestay and walking through town and the village where we stayed; Rome, by staying in a 14th century villa that housed cardinals and priests. Denmark, we stayed a distance from town but once in town we walked all over. We spent much time on the pier where people gather each evening. Our side trips to Florence, Italy, Helsinger, wading in the Kettegot Bay, driving over the bridge to Malmo, Sweden allowed us the opportunity to see what is beyond the big cities. The world is both a big place and small at the same time. It is vast with large expanse of space and yet crowded where people seem to gather. It is small in that everywhere we go there are people from all over. Sometimes only language and sometimes just dress distinguished one nationality of people from another. But everywhere people with all their differences are the same, with the same needs and the same creator. It has been fun learning about people from around the world.
