travel
after a very nice, extremely relaxing, really great romantic getaway with my hunny i should be rejuvenated and feelin groovy. and i should be with him, and his family, in durham, and then going off to see my own. buuuut...i'm not. i'm looking at the huge stack of books (11, plus 4 more i have to pick up from the library) and giant pile of articles that i have to sift through, and take notes on, for my undergraduate research paper, and i am completely overwhelmed. can i do this by sunday night? siiiigh. probably, but it sure doesn't feel like it.
my mind has been wandering lately to the places i want to GO. it doesn't help that i just took a trip, a small one sure but still a trip, with my favorite traveling partner AND we watched a movie with one of the places i'm dying to visit.
so, a list, in no particular order (ok the first four are in order)
of cities i want to visit, though certainly not limited to:
dubrovnik (croatia)
pula (croatia)
sarajevo (bosnia)
budapest (hungary)
belgrade (serbia)
bratislava (slovakia)
prague (czech republic)
kiev (ukraine)
st petersburg (russia)
minsk (belarus)
bled (slovenia)
i want to go back to croatia. i want to go to bosnia, slovenia, montengro, macedonia, serbia. slovakia. albania, romania, hungary, bulgaria, czech republic. i want to go to turkey. i want to go to russia. ukraine, georgia, belarus, moldova.
take me to former yugoslavia, the balkan states. former soviet states. the baltics. present day russia. everything in between.
and, while quite large, that's still just one part of the world. and i want to see it all. (but i'll settle for those top four as a reachable goal.)
