Ranya's Travelling Feet

From sea to shining sea and from ocean to bigger ocean my feet have been.

While on the East coast of the Mediterranean they embarked on land and air trips to sister coasts and neighbor seas. From the Syrian coast to the Turkish coast, my feet soaked the summer sun on sandy and rocky beaches. They traveled to the Red Sea whose waters they dived and took the bus to the Dead Sea where they floated in all peacefulness.

Soon enough, they left the warm waters of the Mediterranean for the cold Pacific.
The Pacific promised them newer ground and marvelous treasure. It imparted on them its different fruits and introduced them to exotic varieties.

From there they departed again – the Atlantic is now their home. Unfortunately, the Atlantic is too far to enjoy on a regular basis. Once they have been to its coast but many a times have then been to the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River banks.

But because of the distance separating them from the water, my feet have decided to remain grounded. And the ground is proving to be just as bountiful for them. So far they have been to 13 states and have more lined up for time to come. They have been to some states for longer and more frequently than others, but so the story goes - where there are loved ones there the feet roam. And there are loved ones both along the coast of the various seas and oceans and inland among the lakes and among other land.

Where my feet will go next only the future knows. But what my feet do know is that they will be going on their second trip to Minnesota in July, this time to stay at one of the Great Lakes. In November they will fly out to Seattle again and from there take the car to Portland for a second visit this year. Hopefully they will head to the Mediterranean again in 2007 - but that is still a ways away. For the time being, they will do their best to discover the area around them and keep moving!
