we did the touristy thing today, in our own way. this entailed getting lost on buses looking for the Duomo. and once we finally found it and gawked for a while, wandering. we wander like pros. this city has so many amazing buildings. i don't know what half of them were but they were beautiful. around every corner was another breathtaking sight. we turned one corner and ran right into 'David'. who needs walking tours? it's like we've got a sixth sense for cool stuff. and we somehow found the lookout point where you can see the entire city in panorama. i stopped dead in my tracks.
i've made a new tradition, just for myself. every church i enter now, i light a candle for Nana. as a simple way of remembering. most often it makes me cry. but sometimes i feel at peace with it. i offer up the flame to her and God and i know she's looking down on me.
