Journal -- Index
Welcome to the Somewhat Edited and Mildly Annotated Version of Curtis Weyant's Journal of European Travel.
This page serves as an introduction to the trip and a front page for the journal itself as well as other items of interest from the trip (e.g., poems he wrote in Europe, photographs, images of museum tickets, maps, etc.). I hope you enjoy it.
This serves as a navigation point and TO-DO list combined.

From the 7th of September through the 13th of October, 1999, I went to Europe. Almost everyone has asked me since my return what I've learned from the experience. It's not something I think I can really put a qualitative value on. I didn't go with a syllabus; I didn't begin with any goals in mind. Of course, one does not need to plan to learn. Saying that, however, I'm not sure there should necessarily be an end product to every experience.
There is always an end product, though (or at least a middle product, and by that I take into account that life is a constant flux until we die--but as a Christian I do not believe even death is the "end"), and I'm sure that's what people want to know. What is/are the end product(s) of my excursion? What did I bring back with me that I did not take, or even what had I brought there and choose (or didn't choose) not to return with?
Now that the questions are properly crafted, I will beg them and point the constant reader to my journal. Perhaps there the answers may be found.
