dreams of lavender


Provence is filled with sensory delights, according to the title of that news article. Provence is my dream trip. The one place I would go if I had to choose only one. I've always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower and other great sites of the world, to float in the Dead Sea, to backpack across Europe, float in the blue waters of Belize. But it's the lavender scented air, and field of dreams where I walk in open air markets, experiencing the aroma of lavender, drink some wine, with olives and fruit and enjoy bright window boxes full of flowers adorning buildings. To live in that moment. I have dreamed of that since I was in my 20's yet never really placed it as a real goal, it remains a place I can go in my mind and most likely it will remain that way. A dream. Besides standing in a Piazza in Italy, that's my dream destination.

What's yours?

Let's go! Let's make dreams come true... Flights are cheap, backpacking is easy, the trains are cheaper... Just do it! Go.

Wow!
Never saw it. I can really smell it from here.
I would like to go back to Paris, Amsterdam visit Italy...
I have many dreams but I don't know why and how I cannot name them like I used to do.
It's one of those "is it a side effect or is it me" questions.
I'm scary of this.
Love,
Ana
