Travelogue

My thoughts and impressions

My journal started in Italy 2004...

My Italian Journal

I bought it in a small shop in Venice, along with a rubber stamp with my initial 'E' floating in front of a Venetian canal and bridge, with the Campanile in the distance. It is wrapped with peaches and cream marbled paper atop a linen binding that is the same color as the Siena skyline.

In my travelogue, I hope to record impressions and memories that will bring a smile to my face two months, two years or two decades from now.

I wonder why I am more dedicated about writing in my journal on my travels and write sporadically in "regular" life! In Florence, I felt attentive and open, absorbing all the sights and sounds and tastes, to try to take in everything and not miss a moment.

Here are some of my personal recollections of my adventure. Enjoy the glimpse into my memories!
