Today I am thankful for...

Welcome to my gratitude blog, which was formerly my 365 project (posts 5/30/10 - 5/30/11). I will continue posting 10 things for which I am grateful to help me (and maybe you too) stay positive.

Here's to optimism, gratitude, and all the simple pleasures of life :)

Buon giorno, Milano!

6/18/11 Day 16: First day in Italy & Lezzie’s birthday (we flew into Milan because it was cheaper than flying into Venice)

  1. Staying up past midnight in the dark hostel room to catch Lezzie online and wish her a happy birthday from Italy - totally worth it <3 
  2. Starting off the day w/juice boxes and Cliff bars
  3. Visiting the church and gift shop where the Last Supper is housed
  4. Matchy-matchy Da Vinci shirts w/Snail
  5. Visiting the Da Vinci Science Museum
  6. Seeing interesting contraptions and capturing them in 2 dimensions
  7. Big fat kebaps after being hungry monsters
  8. Journal time on the train to Venezia
  9. Lasagna and crazy desserts for dinner
  10. Having our own room and bathroom at PLUS Alba D’oro - small, but clean, functional, and OURS

[I won’t be sharing a set of photos from Milano because I didn’t take any good pictures… but stay tuned for pictures from Venice!]
