Home Sweet Seattle - October 15, Kirkland

It's hard to believe it's been almost three weeks since we returned from Italy, and a full month since our travels began. 

Rome, you were busy but beautiful with awe-inspiring artifacts. 
Florence, your meals were fantastic against a backdrop of an understated Renaissance. 
Vernazza, you were simply charming and perfect. I will be back. 
Venice, you were a juxtaposition of tourist wonderland and intriguing decay. I hope future generations can still find quiet local alleys and canals like we did. 


The trip showed me again how well Brendan and I travel together. I'm looking forward to sharing many more adventures with him, but something tells me none will be as magical as Italia. 

This is one of my favorite photos from the trip. For more photos, visit our Picasa site.

Well, blog followers, this concludes our Italy postings! But I'm hoping to turn this into a "travel blog", and may post more entries when we travel in the future. 

I hope I inspired you to add Italy to your travel list. 

Thanks for reading.

Arrivederci!
