Oh Rome

(The Colosseum in Rome, Italy) 

It's official, I feel in love in Rome. Not with a hot Italian, but with the sun, the incredible architecture, and the wonderful Italian men working the the delis who fed me unbelievable fresh bread, meats and veg and even opened the bottle of wine for me! It was probably my favorite day of that trip. It still amazes me that these buildings and ruins still exists with a bustling city around them and not to mention many sun lounging cats, ha! The history is wonderful and the food, OH GOD THE FOOD! Jessica and I avoided the tourist traps of expensive and low quality pasta in the city and opted to find a little corner deli and get an assortment of food that was fresh and picnicked in front of ruins and on the spanish steps where we drank wine and enjoyed the feeling of the sun on our skin. After all we had just left Switzerland where is rained the entire time and was freezing. One of the deli men, who was quick to say he didn't speak english so I told him to pick, got so excited he kept feeding me samples of the fresh meats and bread and excitedly gave me possibly the best meal of my life. 

Rome, let's do this again! I'll even bring the wine this time!

It doesn't get any better than this

Around London

While Jason and Deanna were here in London we did a bunch of roaming and exploring around town. Did you know there is a Peter pan statue in kensington gardens? It was a fun discovery and reminds me that if you think you've seen it all in London, there's usually something around the corner you never knew existed. It's a crazy city like that, and I'm still loving it.

Paris again!

Jason and Deanna have come for a visit and let me tell you, I needed it. There is nothing like seeing your best friends after being apart for 6 months. It was like we hadn't even been separated, so easy to be together like always. Anywho, we hoped around London for a few days and then jumped the train to Paris! I was on a mission to see Versailles and it was nothing short of amazing. Have a look at the chapel that was inside the palace and the hall of mirrors:
