Italy
There is so much to say about Italy. I loved the sounds of people walking on cobblestones, the taste of genuine and truly delicious banana gelato, the way really good and locally sourced pancetta melted in my mouth and so very much more then I can describe. I have always dreamed of going to Italy. Ever since high school where I learned about Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Boticelli, Bernini and so many others I had this great desire to exist in their awesome and glorious presence. That may seem silly to you but for me, that was one of my greatest dreams and I am lucky enough to have experienced it.
I already vaguely posted about Venice and I will go into each city in more detail in later posts but for now I wanted to share some of the highlights. The pure ADVENTURE of travelling overseas was unique and unforgettable. I was born overseas but we came back to the States before I could remember anything and all my family has been to explore and experience all the things Europe has to offer. This was my time. I also enjoyed the differences that each city has to offer and while I enjoyed them all I am glad that we had the most nights in Roma.
I greatly enjoyed the FOOD! Who doesn't love food? Pasta, pasta and more pasta? And pizza. And that gelato and pancetta I mentioned before? I LOVED the food tour in Roma and that is where we had both. That was a true and spectacular adventure right there and my husband loved that just as much, if not more, then I did. Eating Italy Tours with Kate was AMAZING. We stopped so many awesome places in the Testaccio neighborhood in Rome. I will link it below! We did a bicycle tour in Florence that was really unique and as my husband and I haven't ridden bikes in years and we didn't fall (though I tried one time!) and we survived to tell about it.
There is so much more that we experienced and enjoyed! Stay tuned for individual city blogs with all the details!
Ciao!
