Italy is like that time you made that spaghetti, ....remember?

Everyone was out of the house and you just got home and you're like....I'm going to have a glass of wine and make some spaghetti, just for me.

And when you're ready, you put the spaghetti on your plate and maybe there is too much olive oil on the spaghetti and you start to walk across the living room to flop down on the sofa. But, when you turn back to grab the wine glass, suddenly all the spaghetti slides off your plate and hits the floor.

You put down the wine glass on the floor, reach over and just grab the spaghetti with your hand and put most of it back on your plate. Heck, nobody is looking anyway.. You keep walking to the sofa, but you trip over the glass of wine. You go back to kitchen, pour more wine. and head back to the living room. Then you go back to the kitchen and get a fork. Then you throw a kitchen towel over the floor that has wine and spaghetti all over it, so you don't have to look at it.

You come back to the living room, flop down and think..m-m-m-m-....spaghetti!! And you're so happy.

That's Italy.

Buon Giorno!

VENICE

MILAN

CINQUE TERRE

It is an astonishing thing to walk directly out of the Venice train station exit at the back, walk down the broad steps to the edge of the water and be gob smacked instantly by 13th century palaces and villas on water canals directly in front of you. It was like tumbling down a rabbit hole or falling into a rip in the space-time continuum. There was a swarm of people coming and going about their business and getting in and out of water taxis. I felt my head start to spin a little bit.

ROME

VATICAN CITY

It is said that when Hitler came to see Florence during the occupation, he stood on the Ponte Vecchio and declared it to be the most beautiful bridge he had ever seen. "Save this bridge," he said, "And destroy all the rest."

It was warm, beautiful and all the lemon trees were blooming all over the hillsides. If you have never smelled citrus trees blooming - it is one of the most intense perfumes you have ever smelled. The towns, the coastline was mythic, as if we had dropped into an, um... Italian Riviera.....
