Peeps, The Big Map Project (BMP) is up on the wall. Remember last time that it looked like this. Pictures to come shortly. In the meantime, we are in pinning mode:
Blue = Chris
Red = Sonja
Yellow = Chris + Sonja
Green = Chris, Sonja & Ben
Things were humming right along until we depleted my stash of sewing pins.
The point of this project isn't just to pin where we've been - that's just a small piece. In fact, from a distance of just a few feet, it's pretty much impossible to see the pins, as they blend in with the colors of the map.
No, the point, is to use it as a learning tool and a place for inspiration. A few nights ago when Chris and I put it up, we spent about 20 minutes looking it over. "Gee, I can't believe Kazakhstan is so damn big" and "MONGOLIA!!". And "Oh, so that's where the Straight of Hormuz is".
Definitely a learning tool.
But I won't lie: It's kinda cool to see where we've been - we have many fond memories associated with past trips.
And so many places left to explore...
