No, I’m not talking about athlete’s foot…I’ve got wanderlust. I know, it’s completely crazy – I move to Chicago in less than six weeks. Embarking on a new adventure, I’ll be attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for the Master of Design in Designed Objects program. In laymen’s terms, that means product or industrial design.

But yes, itchy feet. I’m going to a new city that I love and…all I want to do is rent a flat in Italy somewhere, maybe in Venice (away from the tourists and theme park-ness) and just wander around for a few months. Italy, Italy, Italy. I miss you and I hate the euro. I know you do too. All I want are some sardines and pickled onions, tonno on crostini, blue cheese-stuffed olives, and a glass of prosecco…or scroppino…yes, I want CICCHETTI!
