A SIDE TRIP TO TRIESTE (Trieste, Italy)

9/18/2014

“In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.” 
- Ansel Adams

From Piran, we decided to have lunch in Italy because it was just 30 minutes away! When you are that close to another country, your sense of wanderlust kicks in. We didn't plan to go to Piran or even step foot to Italy on this trip, but we are glad we did.

Trieste has the vibe of a different Italy.  For the longest time, the city is occupied by the Hapsburg Empire. Trieste is at the edge of the Adriatic Sea and its location has defined this city all these years - from a medieval port town to Austria's main route to the sea and the rest of the world during World War I. Trieste will definitely "wow" you with the biggest square you can find in Italy. It is the city's heart and you can sense and feel what this city is about.

YOU HAVE A SPOT IN MY HEART (Venice, Italy)

“Memory's images, once they are fixed in words, are erased," Polo said. 
"Perhaps I am afraid of losing Venice all at once, if I speak of it, or perhaps, 
speaking of other cities, I have already lost it, little by little.” 
- Italo Calvino | Invisible Cities

A city separated by canals and connected by bridges. We stayed in Venice for 3 days. We walked around the little cobbled streets all day, rode the gondola, chit chats over coffee in a small quaint cafe, marveled with the numerous churches Venice has to offer, amazed by the architecture of it all and best of all stuffed ourselves with delicious Italian food.
View of Grand Canal from Rialto Bridge.

Two lovers sharing a gondola with a beautiful bridge on site - enough to make me feel soppy. As the legends say, that if two lovers pass by under the Rialto Bridge, they'll be granted with eternal love. God bless our love.

One simple truth - I adore you.
This is the picture we used for our wedding invite.
This was Brock's first time in Venice and it was my second time. But each time, my reaction is still the same, still amazed, still in awe.

Undeniably, Venice left an indelible mark in my heart and soul. It's just a beautiful place and words are not enough to describe it.
