We also stopped by Murano for a glass blowing demonstration. </p> <p>Verona is the city of Romeo and Juliet so it is a very romantic city. We didn’t spend more that 2 hours in Vicenza so I didn’t really get a feel for it. Finally we had basically 2 days in Venice and it captured my heart. </p> <p>There were no roads, if you were driving anywhere it was by boat! Unlike any other city I’ve ever seen. </p>http://acaja.tumblr.com/post/20214270310http://acaja.tumblr.com/post/20214270310Sat, 31 Mar 2012 02:31:00 -0400<p>I am behind&#8230;.</p> <p>Go Figure. </p>

The city felt like a new home. The buildings were all so quaint and the people were so kind. Everyone was so hospitable and they did not get annoyed when you spoke English to them, because pretty much everyone there spoke it. Amsterdam made me homesick, but only for the people. It was the first time I had truly felt homesick since I&#8217;ve been abroad. I just wanted all of my friends and family there with me. </p> <p>There was one person in particular who it made me miss immensely. Never in my life have I missed you more. I don&#8217;t fully understand why, but I had that realization this weekend.</p> <p>I&#8217;ve always missed you, and from time to time (without anyone&#8217;s knowledge) I would go and grab your book from our bookshelf at home and read through it. Just to see you and feel like I was maybe talking with you. You have influenced my growing up without fully being here (I wish you could have been here to help me grow). I think that your influence on me tied together with your physical absence is the amazing part. You have done so much for me without acting. Your memory is all that was needed. I&#8217;ve always wanted to make you proud, even though you weren&#8217;t there. I&#8217;m not saying that I&#8217;ve modeled myself after you, but I&#8217;ve definitely walked a few steps in your foot prints (not all of them, but a few strong, proud ones). I feel such satisfaction when people tell me they are reminded of you through me. When ever people do mention you in relation with me, which happens more than I ever thought it would, nothing else matters. Good or bad, I know I&#8217;m doing alright with myself because I&#8217;m linked to you. It&#8217;s not about being perfect or even the most well-behaved, because we both know you weren&#8217;t (Nobody really is), it&#8217;s about finding that happiness.</p> <p><strong>You are a huge part of my happiness.</strong></p> <p>The whole city screamed your essence at me. Anywhere I turned (especially at night) thoughts of you came flooding into my brain. It was surreal and fantastic. I know we would have had the best time, if only we could have gone together.</p> <p><strong>I think it was this weekend when I truly did realize why Uncle Jim calls me LJ.</strong></p> <p><strong> I&#8217;m happy he does. </strong></p>http://acaja.tumblr.com/post/18132638855http://acaja.tumblr.com/post/18132638855Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:12:04 -0500
