Big cities

I have a blog I regularly write in on another site but writing one or two extra pieces here can't hurt. I am looking at a map of the United States on the wall next to me and daydreaming about places I would love to live for a year. I just came back from Phoenix, which was fun, but too far away from the water. I drove through Denver and Chicago on my way home and would love to spend a year in either of those places. I would also like to check out St. Louis, Boston, Seattle, Baltimore, and maybe even Atlanta. Odd how I would give a vital organ to live in any of these cities and yet have no desire to live in places like L.A. or New York or Philadelphia. I love the big city with it's five lane freeways and restaraunts on every street corner. In Phoenix I loved to drive on the freeway at night and look at the city lights twinkling out into oblivion. It was wonderful. I have such a wonderlust in me that I simply have to travel and see new places, live new places. I like the country but I don't think I could ever live in the country for very long.
