Places I’ve been and want to go

My left foot was itching today and I’ve heard tell that means I’m going to travel somewhere I’ve never been. Then almost as if in answer to that a dear friend in Zagreb sent me this photo he took while he was on the island of Vis this summer. Yes, this is where I want to go, I want to plunge off a white washed stone into the wild Adriatic sea. Cast my lot to the fates here at the end of the earth:

When I was boo hooing and reminiscing about my friend who is leaving, I came across this photo taken from the cabin where I spent seven birthdays in a row at a place called Sheep Dung Estates in Yorkville, Mendocino County, California. I used to look out the window on my birthday and cry, “VALHALLA!” because indeed it is. This is a place I’ve been and there is a good chance I’ll never go back (they sold Sheep Dung to private owners), but I carry around those memories with me always:
