Most people think of going far away to exotic places when they think about going to vacation. However, a vacation is really a break from your usual environment. If you've been stuck in your cubicle working at your desk for the last 48 months, then a vacation could be a simple as attending a day long work related conference downtown. I'm been at this desk doing applications for so long my vacation is walking across the hallway to mope to my floor mates.
Day 14: A vacation that you would like to take.
My family have never been travelers, thus I have never left Canada. Darn, I can't even make that claim anymore because I drove over to Buffalo for Civics Holiday weekend and had a day long American shopping day. You get the idea though right? So I have never really been the type of people that have long lists of places they want to visit before they die. Even if I did have a list it won't be of famous cities, it would more likely be places where I can see the Earth in it's most natural form: on top of a cliff, on vast stretches of farm land, in a forest or by the waters. However, before the blog challenge got to pose this challenging question to me wl did a couple of weeks ago. I actually had to tell him to ask me again later. Eventually I decided that I would like us to go to Venice together. I don't know much about it, but a book I read as an adolescence called The Thief Lord took place there. I just know that instead of roads, Venice has streams of water and to get from place to place one must travel with boats. This would be a good vacation just cause it'll be so different from what I'm accustomed to. On another interesting note, even within a famous and supposedly beautiful place like Venice there will be parts of the city where it is absolutely gorgeous and then there will be parts where the streams of water will just seem like a huge rotting sewer... That's the harsh reality of life, it's all nice on the outside, but everything and everyone has something ugly to hide.
