After spending the last weeks talking about some of the places where I have been, I think I should now spend some time talking about where I want to go next. Perhaps, some of you who may have had the pleasure of being there, can make suggestions.
I grew up in a family of artist: My uncle is a well-known painter, my father has exhibited his paintings in countries as diverse as Jamaica, Cuba, Spain, Portugal and the United States and my brother seems to be following the same path. I, however, have never been able to draw too well, and I know that as an artist I wouldn't make enough to sustain myself. What I did get from this family of artists was a passion for art, more specifically, a passion for art history. In fact that would have been my minor if it weren't because my university refuses to offer the classes I need.
Anyway... you may be wondering how this love for art has nothing to do with this blog. Well, I want to go back to where everything began. I want to go and visit the civilizations from Antiquity where the greatest works of engineering and art men has ever seen were once created: Egypt and Mesopotamia.
I want to one day open an old album of photos and show my grandchildren how their grandma once stood in front of the pyramids; took pictures next to an sphinx. Maybe, how she even discovered some archaeological treasure.
Hopefully, I will soon have he chance to go on this adventure!
