Robert and his bike on Kungsholmen. We still love exploring Stockholm.
It’s things like the bucket list that make me realize that I’ve been living out of the US for a long time. This was obviously a trendy cultural term, but it was not part of my vocabulary AT ALL. I kept hearing my American friends use the phrase and while I could guess what it meant, I did not know for sure and I didn’t know where it came from or when it become so popular.
Google was able to tell me that The Bucket List was a 2008 movie featuring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I’d never heard of it. (Not surprising, I suppose.) Basically, the two men go on a road trip with a wish list of things to do before they kick the bucket.
I like the idea. And I’m happy to say that living in Europe was on my “bucket list” long before I ever knew what a bucket list was. So I’ve been living my dream for over six years now. As for what else is on my list, travel and lots of it. While I’ve traveled, I still seem to have a never-ending list of places I want to visit. It’s a good thing I’m not planning to kick the bucket yet.
