My youngest went to Italy the fall before she graduated, which meant she'd be away from home for a whole semester without us seeing one another, which neither of us was ready to accept. So after I quit my job at the library, I booked a two-week trip to Milan (and a week-long stay in Rome we can discuss later) that almost convinced me to give up my American citizenship. And don't I feel stupid now, that I decided to come back to this sinking ship?
Anywhores, here are some of my favorite memories from my time as a carefree gal in the streets of Milan and other neighboring towns.
  | 
| Lake Como ain't just for the Clooneys of the world | 
  | 
| The actual Last Supper by DaVinci | 
  | 
| A view from the top (of Il Duomo) | 
  | 
| Only I'd run into a book fair abroad | 
  | 
| Authentic bolognese in Bologna | 
  | 
| Learning to make egg pasta in someone's home | 
Love & Balls,
Jaded

and all the things that I used to be afraid of
suddenly it all disappear...
and you remain my most favorite thing
and everywhere I go you're here with me
