"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere..."

Preface: I love my life. Absolutely love it. I live in a beautiful city. I am continuing with my education, working towards getting a job as a school teacher, something I am very excited to do for the rest of my life. I have a wonderful job, my own amazing little apartment etc. But I want more...

So. I made a mistake today. I looked at pictures from a friends trip to Italy.
 
Ever had one of those days where all you could think of was Italy? I can sympathize. I have those days all the time. No joke. Those are the days where I go to Expedia and look at prices for plane tickets. Last time I got "Italian Fever" this bad I bought a ticket to Italy. I spent a week and a half there.

 $880 folks. I could afford that, right? Just take a year off of school, rob a bank, and have another Italian adventure.

Would that I could... Would that I could.

Whenever I do get into a mood like this I always feel guilty. I fully realize how blessed I have been. I have spent almost two years in that beautiful country. I have so many friends and loved ones who have never left the United States, and I have visited Italy twice. How did I get so lucky?!? I will continue to thank the Lord every day for the Italian experiences I have had, the wonderful people I met, the amazing places I had the opportunity to visit etc.

And yet... I want an adventure... An Italian adventure.

Oh well. I'll just have to continue listening to Light In The Piazza, and day dreaming about my next trip to Italy.
