Ian and I went to Italy at the beginning of May to celebrate (almost) five years of marriage, and our 30th birthdays. Since coming back, the question we’ve received most is “what was your favorite part?” I don’t have a good answer, because I loved it all. On just the second day of our trip, I asked Ian when we could come back. Here’s a little bit about our first two days, with more posts to come from our other destinations.
Sights: Roman ruins, Vatican city
Sounds: vendors hawking selfie-sticks, car horns
Smells: roses and orange blossoms
Tastes: antipasti, pasta, gnocchi, artichokes, gelato, Amaro
Feels: hot sun, one of the oldest roads in the world hard under our feet, wonder at the grandeur of it all
