Fernando Zòbel, Diario 8

"Constant travel to see friends, it can kill you. The distances are too great, no wonder Americans complain of loneliness. The pleasures of friendship have to be planned weeks in advance and involve endless hours at ticket windows, packing and unpacking, train schedules, etc. ..Almost makes me feel like going home. Except that it´s so good to see one´s friends again."

Hmm, perhaps this is too true. And just as I've been contemplating scrapping the whole Europe idea in favor of more frequent, more local visits to people I love. Maybe not such a good idea?
