wow, tonight has just been amazing. I spent all day inside...resting...which might not sound great, but when its cold and rainy out...while I am very sleep deprived, it is a gift from the angels.
Tonight, Caitlin, Chris, Ashley, and I went out for a simple night on the town. I wasnt looking forward so much to it as it was rainy but a soft drizzle and warm/chilled wind was pleasant...we were looking for a pizzeria...and first came upon a beautiful dessert bar cafe. We ordered our first Chocolatè with cakes. Thick gorgeous black chocolate in a white porcelain cup. The sitting room was lovely decorated with mirrors on all the walls and guild worked ceiling...finished with a simple cactus center piece. This fulfilled my long fantasy from the movie chocolatè. Then we walked and found a hole in the wall pizzeria, ordered a perfect pizza....and wow. I just cannot explain, the conversation was so simple and entertaining...the type of jokes that now we keep referring back to and laughing so hard about. On the walk home we passed a gelateria, and I got THEE best lemone/strawberry cono. My head was buzzed with bliss, I have never quite had this feeling...I was floating in contenment...but it was a tangible physical bliss buzz. My senses felt perfect. The head buzz went over my whole body and I couldnt stop laughing...until it was an embarressed cackle in the Italian streets....to the point of falling over onto the stone wall for support as I was floored for the first time in Italy. ...and for no real reason other than it was a brilliant evening.
