"Neither here nor there"

I am currently reading "Neither here nor there" by Bill Bryson and I came across this passage. It is something I wish I had written (even though he is so much funnier and a much better writer) as it describes my sentiments exactly. Thought I'd share.

" Is there anything, apart from a really good chocolate cream pie and receiving a large unexpected check in the mail, to beat finding yourself at large in a foreign city on a fair spring evening, loafing along unfamiliar streets in the long shadows of a lazy sunset, pausing to gaze in shop windows or at some church or lovely square or tranquil stretch of quayside, hesitating at street corners to decide whether that cheerful and homey restaurant you will remember fondly for years is likely to lie down this street or that one? I just love it. I could spend my life arriving each evening in a new city. "
- Bill Bryson, "Neither here nor there"
