Trip around the world

Yesterday I headed out to Epcot Center and had pretty low expectations......I have never really been a fan of amusement parks and really don't like crowds.

But thank goodness I got over that! I was totally blown away. I was there during the day and also in the evening, and most times were magical. I got to see countries I have never visited, as well as experienced reunions with those I have.

Oh, and the best part - I followed something on my bucket list and hit the Epcot park with bright pink lipstick.

I think my favorite part was the acapella concert in Epcot's future world. The group was great and they played all the popular songs through the ages, so I knew almost all of them (usually I am pretty ignorant about music!). It was so joyful just to watch them sing and I couldn't help moving a little to the beat. But the best happened when these two little girls - complete strangers - boldly went up to the front of the stage and rocked it out. It was awesome.

Lastly, I caught the evening firework show. WOW. It was spectacular. I have to admit, that at some point in my adult life I became a bit cynical about fireworks and haven't even been to the 4th of July fireworks show for a while. But seeing the show yesterday reminded me that it truly is amazing and worth it!

And lastly, as the park was closing, I was able to slowly walk through the entire place and see all the cities at night, empty of people. It was so beautiful.

And the last view I had was of the stunning vision of the Eiffel tower as I walked back to my hotel. La vie est belle!
