I went on a trip to Europe from the 3rd to the 10th of April. Our destination was Croatia and Slovenia. It has been quite a while since I have been overseas, maybe more than 10 years. During my trip, I often thought about my horse and was quite concerned about my health but it was a groundless fear. While I was away, my club trainer took good care of my horse. My health, as well, was perfectly okay. I felt so much younger after I came back to Japan. With this condition and assurance about my horse and health, I may be able to go on another trip abroad in the future. The weather in these two places were perfect. The scenery was breathtaking and marvelous. The food wasn't really my favorite cuisine but it wasn't that bad. The local people were kind and hospitable. Twenty years ago, the civil war ended. Today, both countries are very peaceful. A memorial on top of the hill was built in honor for those people who died during the war.
