A few months ago Mom and I spent several days on the Amalfi Coast. It was one of my favourite holidays of all time. I think of that weekend often as I wander Europe for several weeks. It was full of so much laughter and joy. I remember saying then how great it would be to wander Italy for a month. Time just slows here. Days stretch and things move in slow motion. After the chaos of two years in London, this time warp is a breath of fresh air.
So, here I am. Wandering Italy for a month. Amazingly all these things that I had always wished to do are now so so possible. It feels somewhat 'Eat Pray Love' -esque. The Italian language is beautifully rhythmic, the food satisfying and the warm evenings so lazy and relaxing. I really just wish I had a computer with me. Typing on this android phone is just not the same.
Milan has been empty. Like Athens was last week, it feels like a ghost town. Warm, quiet, still. We saw the Duomo and all the sights nearby. It's not my fave city but I'm glad I saw it. All the major fashion shops are closed for the month of August so my plan to try on outrageously expensive Cavalli dresses had to be put on hold. =)
Today it's a train to Bergamo. Tomorrow I see my very lovely Cynthia in Lake Como where we will dine at my boyfriend, George Clooney's, lake-front villa. Oh the life of a Clooney girlfriend. It's hard work. 😉
