Time has just flown by! I’m going to break up the last few weeks into sections for easier consumption.
This is Venice: Five girls. 118 islands. 160 canals. 420 bridges. 100 churches. 60,000 people.
Venice, in my opinion, is a beautiful city that just happens to be rotting. Even the most disgusting food (I overreact, but there was some bad pizza) is overpriced. That being said, I ate amazing sandwiches and gelato. The buildings (despite mold and floods) are gorgeous, and the bridges are idyllic. The museums are manageable and fantastic. I recommend the Peggy Guggenheim for anyone Venice-bound (though the Academia is not well organized). San Marco’s Basillica is stunning. The pigeons are scary. Gondola rides are fun.
Florence 2009, take two.
I eat the best when I eat in Florence. I am not a fan of the city itself, but I love the surrounding countryside and gardens (love the Boboli). Great gelato. Great food. Great museums – the Uffizi still ranks as one of my favorites in the world. Great friends. The Duomo is fun and so is Santa Croche.
Madre comes to London.
Mother and I went to theater. We saw galleries. We ate yummy foods.
Okay short and sweet! That’s what I got for you. It's officially official winter now (in my mind) and today was officially a blustery day!
I’m sending you all love.
Love,
Lauren
