Venice - Day 4 //Murano

The day started with me taking a bike ride, like other days, but this time I went in the opposite direction. This time I decided to push my limits and explore. This quickly became my morning ritual, but on this day I had to turn around and head back to the hotel. It would be one of my last few days in Venice, and it was only right to spend it around the canals. Only once we arrived at the actual canals, a ferry to the small, colorful island of Murano was #1 on the itinerary.

Paris, Day 1

EXCERPT...

          Has it been forever? Nope, just almost a week. So...SURPRISE! I went to Paris *wide grin* and although I could have found time to blog, I chose not to. It didn't cost much to simply pay for an international phone plan to be able to stay connected, but I chose not to. It would have been nothing to take 3000 photos of every single thing, but, yep, you guessed it, I CHOSE NOT TO. Although I got several hundred (lol) it turned out to be way more than I wanted and even more than I needed. What I chose to do was enjoy the moment...each and every one. Yeah you'll still see everything through a camera lens, but I wanted to see it head on. I wanted to be in awe of something. I wanted my mental photos more than digital ones. I got them ;) So let's hop right into it...

The Bahamas

          So I have this tradition: NEVER BE IN THE USA ON SEPTEMBER 26TH. Why? Tis' my born day. In September of 2012 I finally got out of the country by way of water. I took cruise to the Bahamas (Norwegian Sky: Freeport, Nassau, Great Stirrup Cay) and of course the first thing I fell in love with was that gorgeous sky blue water. Why can't we have that in DC? Why can't it be everywhere. Anyways, this trip started something. Other than eating for free in a restaurant for 2-3 meals a day, it only increased my "itchy foot". I can't sit still. I must always be on my way to somewhere. And why shouldn't I be? I must explore every inch of this globe.
