we’re home!

Ahh, one of the best parts about vacations (especially international vacations) is the amazing feeling of coming back home. We arrived back in LA last night, picked up by the ever-wonderful Francesca, who also made sure both our fatties were fed while we were away! How great are good friends? Almost as great collapsing into your own soft bed after washing the airplane off of you in your own hot shower. Double cute: having your kitty sleep ON YOUR HEAD all night long and waking up to find your husband went out to get donuts.

Italy was… AMAZING!  Truly beautiful cities, spectacular scenery, delicious food, and some of the friendiest people ever (quite a contrast to the Parisians… no offense to any French readers, you know I love you!) We (Julian) took a million wonderful photos, which I’ll get around to sharing on Flickr soon, but have included a few in this post.

We had the best time hanging out with Julia and her little man Trey, stomping all over Naples and Rome, shopping til we dropped, ducking in and out of the best little eateries, getting gelato almost daily, and getting to see centuries worth of history right before our very eyes.

It’s hard to say what my favorite part was, but driving along the Amalfi Coast and touring the Vatican are up there. I’ve got more than a couple souvenirs to remind me of my first trip to Italy, including two pairs of genuine, Made in Italy, leather boots that I scored for only 65euro … can you believe it?!

Now that we’re back home, it’s back to business as usual, and there is lots to be done. So I am off to run errands and get things back in order, but in the spirit of keeping you all updated, I thought I’d post first. How great am I?

K, catch up with you all soon. xoxo!
