i just wanted you to know...i didn't forget

...about this day.

 where we danced like fools; 

 and were so excited, we jumped up and down; 

 then we played some games; 

and in between all the family photos;

and ringing of the bell;

this lovely couple joined hands and stuck their tongues at each other.

a beautiful place

What makes a place beautiful?

Is it the buildings?

Or the mountains?

Maybe the language?

Could it be the drinks?

Perhaps it's the people we meet.

Or the laughs that we laughed.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 It's hard to say that this place chosen to exchange vows, somewhere in the mountains, on a lake, somewhere in neutral territory in a far away land is anything but...beautiful.

For this and more, come to Spiez

to be in italy or not to be....

with the school year ending, the world cup approaching and the lazy days of summer only weeks away...i cannot help but think about summer travel. when i first started blogging this time of year four years ago, i talked about my trip planned to europe. i find myself in the same predicament...the need to travel to italy. i could save my money, eat pizza and pasta while drinking wine in new york...but what is the fun in that?
