On Tuesday, a friend sat across from me, his chin nestled in his hands, and asked eagerly, "So. Tell me all about Venice. Beginning to end. All the details. All of them."
I scrunched up my nose and pursed my lips (probably a most unattractive look, but which is my signature "thinking pose", according to Sylvain), but despite trying as hard as possible, I couldn't come up with any coherent sentences. Images in my head and in my heart, tumbled out in words that couldn't even begin to describe our few days away.
Sun.
Tshirts.
Water.
Boats.
Gelato.
Food. Oh the food...
Getting lost. Over and over again.
Tightest coffee ever.
More gelato.
Lots more gelato.
Magic.
A lovely little bubble of us.
We took photos the whole time (as we are wont to do), and it was really hard to pick just a few that are representative of our experience in Venice. I will surely put up more photos as time goes on, and will definitely be talking more about it on the podcast, but here is a glimpse into a most memorable few days away indeed...
We were just so happy. I learned a number of things. That gesticulating madly does not an Italian make, but it does help you communicate when you don't have a clue how to speak the language. And that you can eat gelato at any time of the day. And that Venice is a magical place, where storm clouds can run over your head in 10 minutes, giving you the most amazing light for photographs, then leave you basking in glorious sunshine for the rest of the day. And we love each other more than ever.
Even if I did manage to twist my ankle...
But really, something like that is just to be expected when I'm doing anything more than just sitting in a padded room, actually...
looks like a really nice trip! I have always wanted to go to Venice...
Oh my gosh, I totally understand -- I wouldn't have any words for it either! But no worries: your photos speak for themselves anyway -- they are just FABULOUS, as always. How I wish I could take such gorgeous photos, or actually even have the eye for such gorgeous photos.
Isn't Venice HEAVENLY?! So glad you had such an incredible trip. Venice makes for amazing memories. I was in Rome with my boy a few years ago, and I wish we could make a trip down to Venice... Italy in general is just TOPS, right after France in my book -- hee hee!
You certainly got some great photos there! Sorry to hear about your ankle, hope it's better now.
And I'm jealous that you got to go to Venezia. I've never been there before. :-/ *meh*
YAY! I am so glad you had a good trip =) sounds romantic and fun. which is why its my favorite city. hehe
cute pic - can't wait to see more!
Wow, what beautiful photos. I am now even more excited to be going to Venice in a week's time! Although unfortunately with my mum not my husband... M
Wonderful photos, I particularly like the one of reflections in the water.
We took in Venice on a trip to Italy a few years ago, your experience sounds similar to ours. :-) Damn, I want some gelato now!
