cheers! bonjour, buon giorno + ciao!!!
i can’t believe i get the chance to share this blog post. i can’t believe only 3 weeks ago we were in europe! As a photographer it is extra tough to come back from a vacation.. not only do you have to pack up and leave a land of dreams.. but you only hope hope hope that all the 100s of pictures you just took captured the memories as they were really lived. this is a long time problem of mine.. through high school and college i was absolutely obsessed [OBSESSED] with not forgetting a great memory or a great story of my life.. my camera became my record keeper and i am now so grateful for those boxes and boxes and boxes of images. it’s sad that over the last 3 years as photography has become my life.. i’ve stopped snapping every good time, every smile and every friend. i realized this while in europe and vowed to bring back the priority of documenting my life.. starting with this trip.. and BOY did i do just that!! thousands of pictures later.. i’ve finally condensed them to my very favorites.. favorites that i want to grace the walls of our new home.. favorites that i can use to tell the story of our journey.. but first i will share them with you. 
if any of you are interested in gracing your walls with my images i have set up a site for you to do so.

this trip was capital A- amazing!! i love culture, i love languages, i love people and tradition, i love history [david loves history more].. and this trip had it all. oh and i LOVE FOOD! oh, italy.. i miss you and your food.
…anyway..
our trip itinerary looked a little something like this: fly into london.. stay 2 nights [in an apartment we booked through AIRBNB.com which we LOVE LOVE LOVE].. train ride to paris with 1 night stay [also booked through AIRBNB.com] this was the biggest regret from the trip.. we did NOT stay long enough in paris.. too much too see.. such little time.. next we took an overnight sleeper train [so cool!!] to rome, italy where we stayed in the most unbelievable artist’s loft for 4 nights [booked from VRBO.com]. truth be told.. i would skip london + paris and head straight to italy if i had it to do all over again! we brought david’s amazing sister on this trip and she would slap me silly for saying i wouldn’t go back to london.. she is a londener at heart and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if she ended up living there for a time in her life.
italy is breathtaking, happy, loving, full of life and life loving people, fast paced in a taxi and slow paced everywhere else. i adore italy and was overwhelmed by it’s wimsey. please do yourself a favor and take a trip to rome.. you can thank me later.
there is so much to say about this trip.. so many laughs, so many memories, so much beauty and SO MUCH FOOD to share about.. but i will let you take it all in yourself with these images.. grab a gelati, capaccino or croissant and savor..
bye, au revoir, arrivederci, ciao!!!
