If only I lived in Italy. . .

If I had the chance to pack up tomorrow and live in Italy (with Bentley of course) I would jump on it. 

No joke.

I love everything Italian. I wish I had been able to go this summer, but that was entirely me overlooking very important details....  [A story for a much later date, after the sting has passed.]

I love how much they value the deliciousness, of life, family, friends, and style.

My italian professor at LongBeach said 

"The two questions us italians ask our selves every morning is- 

What will I eat today? 

And what will I wear?" 

I adore that philosophy. How will I present/express myself and will I treat my body too.

My professor was always in her finest, she was very fit, but you could tell she enjoyed her carbs. strolling in ten minutes late (everytime) with a half eat biscotti and cafe was her style. She would say that by being late she was also teaching us italian culture.... and humor :)

our italian get-away. As close as it gets in slo anyway! (:
