The Itch Is Back

You know what I miss? I miss Spain. Everything about it. My flat. The smell of the kitchen and my room. The laundry lines that allowed us to chat with the neighbours like on TV. The market down the road. The barrio. And sangria. The beach - my god, the beach. The country and culture and food and language and the opportunities I had there. I miss it all. I miss India too, but not in the same way. I miss it like I do an old boyfriend who I broke up with on good terms, one that I'm happy for now. I do not yearn for it. Neither do I yearn for Northern Africa. If I could do it again in a different way, I would.

The Travel Bug came back and bit and now I'm all jittery with the idea that I can leave again. This time I'm thinking Peru.
