When I visited Italy I was taking so many amazing pictures and I wanted to share them with people through my Instagram account BUT I also didn't want to be that person who was posting so much that others would get annoyed by the bombardment of pictures of someone on a vacation. I decided to just post one picture a day and re-cap the highlights of the day. Some people kept asking that I post more pictures but I still just wanted to keep it to just one post a day; I like to limit my posting with any trip.
One day I was even feeling a little weird about how may 'Italy" posts I had already made and decided I would skip that day and just double up a recap of two days with one picture the next day. That was, until one of the girls I was traveling with commented that I hadn't posted and she said, "I didn't get to read about what we did today!" She even was enjoying the recaps.
Overall it was fun to share the pictures and what we were up to each day but it was also nice, for myself, to have a little cliff-note journal of our trip.
Day 1: We're in Rome! Figured out the bus system, visited the Colosseum and the Palatino, ate Pizza and gelato (and plan to eat a whole lot more), have said, "grazie" and "ciao" several times but I really need to learn how to say "Sorry!," and just found out I have a bidet in my bathroom, hahaha. Ciao!
Day 5: Florence! We spent the morning on a train and the afternoon at the Boboli Gardens and threw in some market shopping, gnocchis and walking across the Ponte Vecchio Golden Bridge. I already like Florence better than Rome; it's more calm and personal. Ciao!
Day 8: Venice! Gondola ride, Rialto Bridge, water buses and taxis, San Marcos Square, Murano Island, and finding the best hole in the wall gelato shops, hot chocolate shops and restaurant Caio!
