Oh the places you’ll go!

Sometimes I like to pretend – or perhaps I actually believe – that my life is really boring…

…Wake up. Go to work. Come home. Eat dinner. Go to sleep…

…Repeat. Repeat. Repeat…

…Until all of a sudden it’s 2010 and I’m left wondering, What in the hell happened to the last few months/year?

I think every once in awhile it’s a good idea to take a virtual inventory and remember all the cool things I’ve done, all the one-of-a-kind experiences I’ve had…

…If only to serve as a reminder that my life is NOT boring and that there are many more exciting things to come in the future…

…Because, god, if I top out at 27, then my life really IS boring.

So! In no particular chronological or significant order, here are some of the places I’ve stood:

– At the top of the Space Needle in Seattle

– On the ground of Sistine Chapel in Rome, neck craned upwards

– In the Rockefeller house in Washington, D.C. with El Presidente

– Afloat in the Dead Sea in Israel (basically everywhere and anywhere in Israel, actually)

– In front of my all time favorite piece of art – Picasso’s Guernica – in Madrid (that second link has nothing to do with Guernica, but rather, is a story about cheese and barf. You’ve been forewarned.)

– 273 steps up to the top of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris

Where are some cool places you’ve stood?

Props to my homegirl Sensibly Sassy for posting the places she’s stood, which compelled me to do the same.
