Memories

I'm sitting in bed looking at pictures from my trip to Europe (less then a year ago). So many memories packed into just three weeks of my life. Whenever I feel sad, I just have to look at these pics and remember the good things in life:

• Pistachio gelato
• Trevi Fountain (I threw my coin in...just waiting for my return to Rome)
• The Sistine Chapel
• My 28th b-day (bar run in Rome...no scarpa, grazie)
• The Leaning Tower of Pisa
• The David
• My future wedding ring (can be found on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence)
• Venice (all of it)
• Cinderella's castle (aka Neuschwanstein)
• U.S. Air Force Dentists
• After visiting a concentration camp...knowing that evil never wins
• The Eiffel Tower (at night)
• Moulin Rouge
• And never last, the friends you make memories with

I highly recommend Italy. It was the best. I loved the food and the people and the sights and the weather. If I won the lottery tomorrow (which reminds me, I have to buy my ticket) I would go in a heartbeat and take all my friends and family with me. Even my dad, whose idea of ruins can be found by touring Downtown Detroit.

But for now, I will settle for good, ol' Minneapolis. I know I won't find anything there as old as the Colosseum, but hey, a best friend and the Mall of America are reasons enough for me.
