Reflecting On My Trip

         Now, that it has been a while I can reflect. The 1st thing is that although it was meaningful for me it wasn't unusually meaningful. In other words, nothing outrageous or life changing happened to me during this trip. It was just...relaxing.  I did spend two days completely on my own during my drive up to San Francisco. But, being by myself for that period of time is nothing new to me.  Yes, I could had been more daring or outgoing and went to more public places like a pub or some kind of public event. I feel that this whole trip was about getting away to some place different and being an unknown person...to observe people and to interacted with them when the opportunity arises. I did do that and I actually helped people out as well.  I saw really beautiful or rich people like Jeff Bridges and I saw homeless men traveling up route one with just a bicycle hauling a makeshift trailer. Most of them had a dog with them.      

         I always believe that one of the reasons we are here on this world is to help each other out to the best of our abilities and resources.  I've also have learned that you need to accept help from others as well.  Now, saying that… you need to be respectful and intuitive about people’s needs.  Sometimes not helping someone is helping someone. It takes wisdom, experience and intuitiveness  to know the difference.  One must except that sometimes they may be wrong in helping or not helping. Unfortunately, one finds this out after the fact. That is when experience comes in and hopefully learning from your mistakes. While, on my adventures in California I kept these concepts in mind. I helped those that I could during my travels and I accepted help when it was offered to me.  I also just enjoyed the scenery and experience of being some place other than Vermont. One thing that I must say is although California had its own beauty, Vermont is one of the most beautiful, scenic states.
