We recently discovered that the design of San Marco Square, down the street from our current home, was heavily influenced by the Piazza di San Marco in Rome. We didn't have time before our trip to find out exactly where the Italian version was located (what with packing and doing taxes and DECIDING TO BUY A HOUSE IN TWO SECONDS), but lo and behold guess what we looked up and saw on our way to the Pantheon?
I couldn't resist snapping a few shots of the signage before we skedaddled on our way. And, yes, I just wrote skedaddled. What?
I know you are having so much fun, and relaxing because it is your vacation and all, but I miss reading your posts!!! I imagine you are taking an internet sabbatical (never a bad idea), or perhaps you just don't have good internet out there-my sister said the rates per minute were outrageous...
Anyhow, hope you are having a truly wonderful time, and have a safe trip home!
*Sigh* I'm green with envy over here. The whole trip looks amazing. Some how, I don't think the Italian pavilion at EPCOT is going to be impressive after this.
In the eighties, I was a little kid who put together model buildings out of notebook paper and Scotch tape and spent days on end playing Monopoly with my best friend. What I've done over the last decade is pretty much the same thing. I began buying, renovating, and renting dozens of properties during Architecture school, where I mostly learned how to stay awake for six days straight.
Today I'm a new mother married with four dogs and way too many houses along the coasts of Florida. We recently moved into and began working on a three story lake house built in 1928.

Ok, Kelly-

MBL, what a (really!) nice comment! Things have been a little hectic, but I'll update soon. Always nice to know someone's out there reading. :)
Oh, I'm reading honey, I'm reading. Your life is so different from mine, and you are so refreshingly honest, and unfiltered.
Plus, your writing usually elicits a laugh, or a loud snort.
