France and Italy.

I feel like I am starting to read like a broken record. But it is hot. So hot outside. It has drained me of energy and words. Ice cream now seems like the only practical meal and the thought of running, let alone walking outside has me in search of air conditioning and a couch at night. And while the heat has robbed me of energy and productivity, I am more than ever lusting for an adventure out of the country. 

The shade of a tree in France or the steady rocking of a gondola in Italy.
