Continuing my list of 100 things to do before I die. Which reminds me of this guy I know. I'll never forget how he said he wanted to go. And personally, I can't think of a much better way. Backstory: This guy is from a small town in England, travels with a catering company as of now, and has probably been to at least 70 countries. But, he's never been to Rome. Since Rome is a pretty pop destination, and he seems to have been everywhere (Italian cities included) I asked him why he hasn't been to Rome. He looks at me with an intense stare like he is about to tell me the password to a nuclear missile silo, and says "Because all roads lead to Rome. And I'm going to die there." This was said without a hint of sarcasm or joke, but he actually wants Rome to be the last city he travels to. From there, it lightened up and he mentioned how he wants to be riding into Rome with a bottle of wine on the back of a vespa, and if he kiels over right there, that'd be great.
Anyways, here is my continued list for "before" death.
11. Play at least one more game of competitive soccer.
12. Take a Yacht cruise in the Mediterranean.
13. Own an Art Gallery.
14. Get a photograph published.
15. Read Sun Tzu's "The Art of War."
16. Smoke a 97+ Rated Cigar.
17. Go 1 Year without Fast Food.
18. Compete in a Full Triathlon. (Yes, this kind of conflicts with 16)
19. Attend LaTomatina Festival.
20. Develop killer woodworking skills.
