…another place I haven’t been to in a while (other than posting here) is Italy, so given the opportunity, along with facing my (ahem) five-oh-ieth, I decided to carpe-diem my way to St. Peter’s to make it a jubilee. And in the true spirit of a pilgrimage, we made it a journey: starting in Venice, through Florence, Siena, and capping it off, literally, in Rome. What a treat! I can’t think of a better way to take on a birthday that marks the season of “middle-age” than contemplating the Renaissance.
Ave Marisa!
