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. 

Wordless Wednesday April 10 2013 - I Was There

Nervi, Italy

A Walk to Remember

While staying in Genoa, our landlord suggested we take a city bus down to the town of Nervi which has a sea walk. Oh, what a wonderful suggestion that was! We had a day with brilliant sun and wonderful breezes from the sea. The waves crashed upon the striated rocks and it was one of those just perfect days. No crowds, just ordinary people walking along the sea, walking their dogs, or strolling with children on skate boards and scooters. Daily family life in a setting some of us only dream of and just a bus ticket away.

My quote says... There is magic every day, just open your eyes and see it. On this day, it was impossible not to see.
