Oh To Go Back
There was a time in my life back when I was single, and studying at the University of Salzburg, that I would just hop a train and go to other cities with my friends. My friends didn’t all speak English, they didn’t all speak Italian, and German was a second language to many of us – and yet communication was never a problem. We’d pick a city, and we’d all go.
The blog question asks what time would I Iike to go back to and experience again. Maybe because it was just Carnevale, and I’ve promised myself I would go back to Venice during Carnevale someday, maybe because my daughter and I were just looking at pictures of Venice – I don’t know, the first thing that came to mind when I read the question is: I wouldn’t go back to being single for anything in the world, I wouldn’t want to give up my children for anything in the world. But I would like to go back to experience Venice again, and this time share it with my children. This time I’d take a million photos (and preserve them better), this time I’d get to experience it through their eyes. That would be fun!

I had no idea that you were a world traveler, awesome! I’d love to take the kids to Europe when the boy gets a little older so he will remember it.

Tried several times to get your blog up last night, but it was “down”…to me, at least. Yay, today it loaded fine. Yes, something about the carefree life of youth, girl, bet that’s what it is about it. I have the same feelings sometimes. Wouldn’t want to go back to any bad stuff back then that happened, but ah, the days of our youth!
