Places

Today I will be setting up future post about places I have lived and Places I have LIVED. 

I will not get into the difference between them now.  Today will just be listing the ones off of the top of my memory and by seeing this list you may just get an idea where some of my writing comes from now and in the future.


Countries I have lived in or spent more than 4 months in:

Of course the US of A,                                                                                  

England,  

Germany,

Italy,

Bosnia,

and Spain

Red is where I am, and blues are where I have been in general.  (Not the best artwork I know but it serves the purpose.)

States I have lived in for various amounts of time:

Nebraska,

Oklahoma,

Texas,
Georgia,
South Carolina,
Florida,
New Mexico

States and countries I have been to and adventured in (not mentioned above):

States:
North Carolina,
New York,
Tennessee,
Kansas,
Ohio,
Kentucky,
Colorado,
Connecticut,
Utah,

Countries:
East Germany, and yes to those of you to young to know there used to be an East Germany,
Denmark,
Czech Republic,
Greece,
Turkey,
Portugal,
Mexico, but just across the boarder to Juarez (years before it became as dangerous as it is),
Hungary,
Cuba,
St. Thomas, US Virgin Isles


As you can see it is a pretty good sized list with many, many stories to tell.  If you will notice everything is North of the Tropic of Cancer except Cuba and St. Thomas.  I have had the Pleasure to go to most of these places due to my service in the US Navy and the US Army. 

One thing I will say in this post:  If you ever have the chance to serve your Country and go to other places, take the chance!  It will open your eyes to Wonders beyond your imagination and allow you to see other "People" in a totally different aspect.

Something I learned in all of those travels was, that if you put forth an effort to understand them and try things Their Way, you tend to get so much more.  Its as if the People where you are "open" doors you didn't even know were there and it brings forth some of the Best Experiences of a Lifetime!
