I've been a bad pedestrian. I have barely written anything in this blog since my mini-vacation (and I didn't even finish that journey)! I wonder if it's because I've written too much about the vacation in other places (i.e. my other journals, blogs). I'm sorry. I will try to do better because... I'm traveling to Rome tomorrow!
If you have read any of my posts, you might detect that Elizabeth Gilbert wrote my favorite book: Eat Pray Love. I can't get enough of it and, every time I venture to another part of the world, the book travels with me. It's my personal bible - that's how much it means to me.
If you know anything about the book, you will know that Rome makes up 1/3 of the book. And this trip to Rome will be my first trip to Italy; something that I actually used to dream about. Now, not so much. Rome is a beautiful place and there is a rich history and culture. The food, the laid-back living, the constant search for pleasure - that's Rome... so I've been told. But maybe I've lost the passion for that kind of life-style. I'll search for a good espresso, like any good Italian, but I don't feel the need to make it a daily habit. (And now I'm a horrible Italian! Mamma mia!)
So while I should be excited for my trip, I'm feeling a bit empty...
Challenge me Italy! Make me wish that I was Italian! I dare you.
