I have adventure on my mind. I have been wondering how to blog it or what to say, but nothing sticks, so I am just going to tap away at the keys and let my fingers do the talking.
What is an adventure? I have to go look it up so we don't lose the meaning of the word in this discussion! Before then though, off the top of my head, I say an adventure is something (usually risky) that your heart and soul longs to do in your lifetime; something of a dare, and which may not necessarily meet any one's approval!! Oops!
The dictionary defines adventure as: a chance, a risk, a danger, something you do, the outcome of which you do not know. Hmmm, sounds really serious, doesn't it??
Anyways, I guess that in the light of the above, we couldn't classify going on a cruise, visiting 6 countries in Europe as an adventure, right? Neither can we say disappearing to the island of Malabo, alone, not in a group of 10, duh as an adventure?? How about travelling all the way to Sri Lanka?? Alone??
Ok, fine, you see how very boring my life is? Gats spice it up. Gats do something! I cannot have children and grandchildren and have nothing to tell them! So what do I badly want to do?? NOT climb mount Kilimanjaro, or swim through an ocean, or trek through the desert of course! Nor go someplace primitive where all we do is eat roasted lizard sitting in the open, or some eeeww-ish thing like that! But what? I think what I really want to do is visit all the hidden, little-or not-talked about places first in Africa, then all over the world. So when you tell people you went to some tiny town in Austria, they go 'huh?'. That gives me a kick!
So, what adventures have you had? What do you desire to do? Where would you like to go? What is that burning thing (maybe we ought to leave the word 'adventure' out of it) on your mind you always wished you could do?? And if you have had an adrenalin-pumping experience, please, pray, share with us mortals! Who knows, it may that that in giving your adventure-desire voice, it comes alife!
