I unfairly left Italy in the lurch. It is a crazy story, but 2 weeks ago today, Lee woke up feeling like we needed to head back to the US, also. (I'd mentioned the idea, but wanted to be sure I wasn't just neurotic and selfish!) So we attempted, on a Sunday, to get a ticket home. It was impossible. HELP! We were stranded in Florence! Literally, it was impossible on a Sunday. By Monday morning, we found a US phone number to call and got someone competent enough to help us (after two failed attempts....pretty sure the first had attitude and the second had a drug problem.) All's well that ends well and we had a ticket home 3 days later from Roma. We packed up, got the train and had the most lovely night in Fiumicino - who'd of thunk it? An airport hotel?? It had views of the Mediterranean, an amazing restaurant nearby serving the local seafood (OMG the calamari!) and just a chill, perfect last night in Italy vibe. Even the hotel room had tile floors instead of creepy carpet!
So, we got home, unpacked for 3 days solid, I headed to work for the next 5 days solid, then finished unpacking the next 2 days and now am mostly crashing and very very happy.
But I wanted to share some of these photos from our trip - it is a little slide show of photos - with captions because there is no rhyme nor reason - just some favorite moments. Hope you enjoy!
