Eat, Pray, Love up to page 102

recently, Liz has been enjoying her stay in Italy. she and a friend have found two Italian male twins, Giovanni and Dario, who are extremely gorgeous. they exchange lessons in each other's languages. Liz somewhat wishes Giovanni would kiss her, but knows it would only end badly, and he's like ten years younger than her lol. i think she's just jealous because her friend is hitting it off with Dario and she just wishes she had someone to love while she's in Rome. who wouldn't though? anyways, she travels around the rest of Italy...so lucky...and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. when she arrives in Venice, she realizes she isn't depressed in the city. probably because the city is more depressed than she is. i find this a weird way to look at it, but i guess she's probably right.

i find it funny that she is struggling with such conflicting feelings dealing with her love life. she leaves New York to find peace and tranquility and a balance between love and religion. however, she starts with finding love...which is probably the most difficult thing to understand in the world. our minds and our hearts tell us totally different things, and quite honestly i think Liz is right. she would complicate things so much by kissing Giovanni. she doesn't really love him, she lusts after him. again, Italy is like the place to be for love and she really isn't doing herself any favors by exposing herself to potential new boyfriends/lovers so shortly after she ended a marriage and a short lust relationship with that David guy. i hope india is more promising for her with her spiritual balance...
