An Ode to 2012 Travel

Perhaps posting a few of the favorite photos of places I visited but didn't have a chance to write about will inspire me to mentally re-visit those experiences and write about some of the adventures I missed!  It was an amazing year of travel in which I was able to visit 10 countries.  The only downfall is that the only thing that will satisfy me now is more travel.  You'll have to wait for the next post to see where I'm headed next...
