It’s the cobblestone streets, sidewalk cafes, art and architecture. Oh, the photos I could take. I dream of it in black & white, it makes it even more romantic.

I’ve set goals for myself, I’ll go by a certain age…time has passed. But I think it’s closer than it ever has been; there are talks of the next big purchase and passports. Doesn’t writing down your goals help you achieve them? Maybe this will help.
