While I ponder these decisions, I'll share the final page. I was ready to come home after two weeks but it's always hard to leave Italy...arrividerci. Sniff, sniff.

Just Under The Wire
I finally finished my Italy 2012 trip pages yesterday! The last day in Italy was May 23 2012. Whew!!!! I'm not sure if these pages are going into my PL album for 2012 or into a photo book. I think my dh would like a photo book, but that always takes so many decisions...what company, what size, do I want that expense....etc etc
While I ponder these decisions, I'll share the final page. I was ready to come home after two weeks but it's always hard to leave Italy...arrividerci. Sniff, sniff.

Ah Italia, How I Miss You
For most of this year, I have been watching the fares to Milan. I had hoped to go to Italy at Christmas or any time really other than the midst of summer. However, each email telling me of the latest fares has only told me of a higher fare. Until today.
I quickly forwarded the email to my dh. He looked into it and replied re this great offer..."We would kill each other before it was over: 24hr and 25 min to Milan and 18+ hr return!" Uh, here on the east coast of the US, we are about 10+ hours to Italy...Some good buys definitely are not value for money, unless you are a stronger man than I am Gunga Din.
So instead of planning that trip to Italy, I continued working on the last days of our May 2012 trip.

Genoa - Passeggiatta
Doing these pages about our trip to Italy, Genoa in particular, makes both of us seriously think about another trip. Italy is so so seductive. However, looking at our calendars doesn't seem to allow any time until 2014! Can we wait that long???
It wasn't just the food. It was the whole ambiance of Italy. Even with an earthquake.

Food Memories...Make Me Hungry
I realized that I had never finished the pages for our trip to Italy ...last May. Well, before I have another trip to think about I figured it was time to wrap this one up. Today's page is a start. One day at a time, maybe one page at a time. At least I got a good many photos culled in iPhoto, imported into Lightroom and now ready to work on in PSE. Every page has its own back story of process.
Guess who's having Italian food for dinner tonight???? Italian sausage, gnocchi, maybe even with pesto. I think I'll get vanilla ice cream for affogato.

Life is Good
Just the quiet mornings, with Mare Liguria outside waaaay down the hill, and a kitchen to cook in. I am blessed, and I'm grateful.
