May has proven to be a very special time for me to walk. I have been spending a lot of time, and walking a lot of miles in foreign lands. With my Fitbit (high tech pedometer) on my wrist, I have explored Austria, Germany, and Spain. My Fitbit logged an impressive 73 miles walked over the course of 17 days. I was quite proud of myself as I met or exceeded my 10,000 steps a day goal for 12 of these 17 days. Go Team Mimi!
And Europe is the mecca for public (and private) art.
