torino, italy

this picture is from torino, italy.  we only were able to spend a day there, but i really loved it.  the morning really was as beautiful and magical as the picture makes it look like.  no, i take that back.  it was much lovelier than that. the street performers' music filling the square, the fountains, the happy, smiling people, and the warm sun on our skin... i would have to say that it really was one of the loveliest mornings of my life.

i went to an italian restaurant with my parents tonight after the basketball game and it made me miss italy... everything about life over there was just a little bit slower, more old-world, more quaint.... i miss the personable, passionate people, the incredible architecture, the balanced lifestyle that is just part of their culture, and the food.... i know i was complaining about the lack of variety in the cuisine over there, but since being back in the motherland (america), nothing has really tasted very good to me (yet i keep eating like there's no tomorrow.... go figure).  but i have come to think that it was worth every pound i gained.. or didn't, i don't know-- i am still too scared to step on a scale!! :)
