I've just gotten back from the most breathtaking trip. The Greek isles, Morocco, the Turkish coast, Spain, France, Italy and, my surprising favorite, Portugal. It was sumptuous and sweeping; the food a living, breathing entity on its own. The vistas and architecture and history all giving me abundantly more than I could have thought, yet leaving me wishing for more...more...more...
I didn't even leave Missouri. I just picked up Frances Mayes' travel memoir and got lost in the world. I wish I didn't have to be found again.
This book is the height of "armchair travel," that interesting genre of material that takes you places in your mind and makes you feel like you've almost been there. Fantastic. If I didn't have the travel bug before (and I did) then I surely have it now.
