Buon giorno!

Buon giorno from Sardinia, Italy. 

What I thought was going to just be a nice relaxing four day vacation with the family turned out to be a rekindling of my love affair with Italy.  For me, it was rekindled the minute the ocean breeze blew in our room along with the complimentary room service consisting of lush melon with prosciutto, grilled calamari straight from the Mediterranean, tomatoes with fresh buffalo mozzarella and a robust local olive oil to accompany it all.  I knew it was going to be a good weekend full of sweet nothings being whispered to us.  














The love continued throughout the warm sunny days while sitting by the Sea listening to all the Italian being spoken around us (which tops any of my playlists). The island is lush and BIG which we quickly found out after a few morning drives in which we never seemed to find the little curvy roads on our map.  The Sea, which is bigger than the island, is the most incredible turquoise green and also whispers sweet nothings to anyone that will listen.  Yes, Spain has captured my heart over the past year, but the Italian culture, beauty, food, and hospitality snatched me right back into its arms and is holding on real tight.  Ciao-finché non ci incontreremo di nuovo!!!
