As we wandered around
I have never lived in a big city, though I love them. I have remarked often to my wife that, if we lived in Pittsburgh , I would go to the Strip District (a wholesale multi-ethnic food extravaganza) every week to buy my groceries at the Italian grocers.

If I don’t make it toSalzburg or St. Petersburg or Paris in this life, I know that what awaits me is far more glorious. If I never complete my bucket list of places to visit and experiences to have, I will have an eternity of endless fascination to enjoy. I long for that day.
