of numbers

Two hundred sixty five is one hundred days less than the days in one year, seventy more than the number of countries in the world, and thirty five seconds short of five minutes. There are two hundred sixty five miles between Highland Park, IL and Ann Arbor, MI. It may seem like a large number when thinking in miles, but a rather small number in seconds or minutes. I leave in three days to begin my journey, flying to Madrid, Spain on Sunday. I will study in Madrid through mid-December and plan to travel in Europe until I move to Tel Aviv, Israel at the end of January. The title of my blog represents the number of days I will be traveling and learning in Europe and Asia. I will employ this blog as a journal of my experiences and a means for friends to see my photos. And so begin my two hundred sixty five days!
