My Italian Adventure: Part I

{taking in Lake Como}

It is soooo hard to be back from what I can say was one of the best weeks of my life (besides the week I got married).  There is something about Italian culture that is so (for lack of a better word) PERFECT.  I absolutely love everything about it.  Here is a list of words that describe my most adored aspects of Italy as a whole…

pesto – vine ripe tomatoes – creamy cappuccinos in beautiful cups – chocolate croissants – spritz cocktails – paper thin pizzas – vintage bicycles – effortless style – leather – buzzing vespas – afternoon siestas – gelato – tiny Italian cookies – vino – pecorino romano with honey and pears – stilettos on cobblestones – salty bread soaked in olive oil – breathtaking views – vintage fiats – gondolas – nautical stripes 

For those of you who have been to Italy, what do you love most about it?  For those of you who have not been – you must go soon!

Stay tuned for more on my Italian adventure including photos of an amazing antique market we stumbled upon in Siena, a full re-cap on the ridiculous food we ate, and of course a roundup of the fun items I brought back with me!
