what is it about Europe? is it old world charm? cobble streets shimmering after an afternoon rain? is it the lovely pubs that line the streets or is it simply the history, or well, the style? you know THAT style. what is it about Europe that has us Americans so wound up and excited? even i have a soft spot in my brain and maybe my heart for a place that i have never been. sure, i have experienced it through friends studying abroad or well, facebook. but, what is it about across the pond that allows for such an idealistic thought of.."oh, i could live in that cottage with that super tiny fridge and no oven! it would be charming!"....uh? no. doubt it.
regardless, London, home of the 2012 summer Olympics and an absolutely perfect backdrop for all of those wanna visit, yummy pub and oh the beautiful pictures i could take thoughts. it makes for a little bit of jealousy when seeing those who are working the summer Olympics, literally getting to experience something unlike no other. but, with great experiences comes cost, and with cost comes bills and with bills come stress. and with that, comes my mindset. oops, just call me debbie.
surely it will be great to experience those things on my own time, because mark my words, i will. and until then we have the Olympics. a global combination of athleticism, patriotism, pride and respect...a wonder to watch from afar. and until my trip across the pond, i will find comfort in the fact that things won't be overpriced due to the Olympics being in town. #win #alwaysthinking
