I think if you asked anyone which country was their favorite they would tell you the country that made them fall in love with traveling. For me, that is Italy. And my favorite city is Venice. It was the beginning of a love affair I'm sure will last a lifetime.
It's the feeling I get when I set foot in this floating city. The magic begins as we eagerly cross the bridges that will lead us to our apartment.
This is the third time I've stayed at this apartment and we're anxious to meet up with Sebastiano again. He is incredibly kind and gracious and always makes us feel so welcomed. As we turn the corner we see him and he greets us with a big smile and a handshake. Only this time he pulls me in and gives me a kiss on each cheek. A TRUE Italian greeting! I have crossed over from guest to friend. He greets my sister the same and we talk like old schoolmates. It is the perfect start to our stay.
