Trains, planes and busses

I am currently on the train to the Blue Mountains where I will spend a week hiking various areas of this beautiful national park. 
The tree tops began to appear through the the cracks of the city skyscraper windows and slowly my smile became brighter. I knew I would be less anxious as soon as I made it outside of the city. Immediately my mind went to the feeling I get when I pull up to Devils Thumb Ranch in Tabernash. A feeling of overwhelming calmness and complete peace. 
I am currently listening to Wade Imre Morissette's song and the lyrics "Flowing on the inside and thriving on the outside. Clearing on the inside and accepting the outside." perfectly describe what I want to say! 
I hope that my travels not only encourage me to continue pursuing my dreams but encourage others to travel and sit at coffee shops and talk to barista's and try different kinds of chocolate from New Zealand and to create their own story. Stories with ups and downs, panic times and flawless plans that unravel at ones fingertips. 
As I look out this train window lush green rolling hills extend for miles and miles each standing tall, beyond them even larger mountains appear. Kids hopping on and off at each train stop dressed in their school uniforms. 
Over the speaker the conductor just announced about the cutest thing ever. "Three minutes to wentworth falls stop. and mother this is where you will get off. I repeat Shawn's mother this is where you will get off. You're beautiful see you later tonight."
And she is in my carriage!!! And laughing and smiling and looking a bit embarrassed!! 
Hahahah and again!! "Arriving at Wentworth falls in one minute, again Angela, shawn's mother, this is your stop please be sure to get off"

Cheers my friends, I will write of my mountain adventures upon my return to the city in a week or so.
