Cultured

On a long walk around UP last week, my friend and I got the chance to catch up and talk about just anything. We were talking about the things we were doing, the people around us, and then we landed onto the subject of appreciating art and such beautiful things.

Friend: I like to be able to just appreciate art, movies, you know? Take trips to art museums just for fun.

Me: Yes, YES, I agree! But then that kind of thing doesn't really happen here.

Friend: I know right! I like how Europeans take time out from work to do all the cultured stuff. I wish I had the chance to do those too anyday.

Me: ME TOO. Sigh.

It could have been really thrilling to have a nice library or museum somewhere around town, eat escargot for dinner, have tickets to watch Broadway shows and have the chance to learn to dance ballet.
