I Did It!

I ate dinner. Sitting. In a restaurant. By. Myself. BY MYSELF!

I’ve had this fear of eating alone for the longest time. It’s been the one aspect of solo travel I haven’t been able to embrace. Sitting alone at a restaurant was in my mind just so uncomfortable and awkward that I couldn’t bring myself to dine alone (in a restaurant – cafes were fine) on any of my travels. But, finally, I did it! I sat down at a restaurant last night, ordered some pasta (pesto – mmmmm) and wine, and sat and ate it completely alone.

Mission: accomplished.
