Things I love about Italy | A Valentine’s Day Tribute

I thought in honor of sweetheart’s day I would simply list the things that I love about Italy.  Here they are, off the top of my head and in no particular order.  Go ahead, I encourage you to make your own list and send me the link to include in a future post about our love affair with this amazing place!

• passeggiata
• house wine
• pistachio  gelato
• bells tolling in the morning
• the sound of swallows in Siena
• the smell of sunrise
• the sound of silverware on china plates in the late evening from my balcony window
• guessing how fast the car that just passed me is going
• the thrill of a good parking spot
• porchetta straight from the van
• the click of high heels on cobblestones
• a cool drink from a fountain when in Rome
• the bored look of the officials after baggage claim
• osso bucco in Rome
• polenta served family style
• giving exact change
• cheek kisses
• espresso shots
• savoring a morning cappuccino
• following my nose for dinner
• old men on benches
• marveling at what an ape can carry
