So a whole year as gone by and I'm back home were it all started.
Since the blog is called "Once upon a year in America", I'm still going to post videos of what I saw and what I did in the States in 2011. At least some of it...there's so much footage I don't even know where to start.
That brings me to a point I want to make about travelling abroad and how your perspective of reality changes the instant you step off of that plane. Heck, the instant you're sitting on that plane everything is already new and exciting! I remember when I was arriving in Atlanta a year ago, watching a movie the flight provided entitled "Life as We Know It". The movie is set in ATL and exactly at the same time I'm watching this scene showing the city's skyline, the plane is on it's way down to the tarmac. I pull up the blind and I'm "living" the same skyline. You can somewhat now understand how it's easy to get "lost" in photographing and videotaping every single thing you see from then on. It's also stuff like this that moves me to search for new adventures somewhere else out there.

This movie inspired me in a lot of ways, none of which have to do with this image. |

Atlanta's skyline. (By the way, I did not take this pic.) |
For now though, I'm closing this chapter of my life by putting together the last videos of that all-around wonderful experience. Stay tuned.
