Looking-forward-to-the-thing

Sometimes I think about the nature of looking forward to something.  This is good, you know, looking forward to things.  And sometimes I wonder if it is as good as the thing-itself.  Okay this is a weird subject… stick with me…  like, for example, spending all day looking forward to eating a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies is on par with actually eating the cookies.  Know what I mean?  Or did I already lose you.  Because when you look forward to something, you get a little excited about it.  And them, if you add up all those little excitements, it roughly equals the amount of excitement you actually get from the thing itself.

I don’t know why I’m talking about this.

Daily Photo – Zermatt in the Evening

This is one of my favorite times of night while traveling.  It’s that blue dusk after a long day.  I’m hungry and tired and just trying to capture a little bit more light before finding some food for the night.

This is the town of Zermatt, a cozy little mountain village nestled up in the Alps.  It’s charming and filled with all the sorts of things you would hope would fill a little mountain town.
