When I was 59 years old, I went abroad for the first time in my life-- to Christchurch, NZ. I wrote about it in February, "home stay in New Zealand."
This was my first adventure in my life. It was really a big adventure for me---alone, by myself, for myself, a foreign country, a strange place, home stay and English.
This time I think I will write about my second adventure--tour to southern Europe. Two years ago, I joined the tour, alone, I mean without any people I knew. I'm apt to act or move alone.
This was a tour driving along by the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. I visited some art museums and also enjoyed watching old European architecture in southern Italy, France and Spain.
I am really a natural worrier. I stayed at a hotel near Narita Airport the day before. I felt so anxious about my tour that I could not have a good sleep that night.
I went to the airport 40 minutes earlier than the appointed time but I saw no members of the tour. Anyway my airplane took off from Narita and arrived on schedule at Frankfurt Airport, where I met people of the tour. Changing planes there, I arrived at Milano, Italy.
