i spy eye candy! Rome

Email, RSS Follow

This week where in the world is lola? picked the EYE CANDY topic of ROME! may it tantalize your senses.  buon appetito!

ROME, if you want to. ROME, if you can! (i know this isn’t what the B-52’s meant but who cares?!) you really should go to ROME, if you can!

Rome was the center of the world at one time and has more history than i’ll ever be able to soak up in my lifetime. i have been fortunate to visit the ‘eternal city’ twice and am hoping to get back a 3rd time this fall on my Euro tour with Leah of LeahTravels. this time i just wanna wander aimlessly and not worry about hitting any one particular site. i will definitely go back to Piazza Navona – it’s my favorite square. also, on my list would snapping as many pics as possible of all the gorgeous fountains found EVERYWHERE in the city and i’m not speaking of all the big famous ones but all the little ones scattered about.

oh, ROMA – you spell AMOR backwards and i do love you so! what do you love about Rome? what eye candy might you like to have a taste of next? be sure to leave a note & let me know!

ciao – lola

the ever lovely Aix en Provence

Email, RSS Follow

fountains, fountains everywhere!

this trip to Aix en Provence was actually my third. i love it every time and every time for different reasons. the first time i visited it was spring and everything was in crisp & in bloom. the second visit was in the fall and Aix was colorful and romantic with cozy fires lit and warm dinners every evening. this time was full on winter and it was cold in Aix. so cold, in fact, that what struck me most this visit about beautiful Aix en Provence was how many lovely fountains there are all over the city. i hadn’t really noticed them during prior visits but because so many of them were frozen and icy they really stood out. even still, they held a magical beauty.

Aix en Provence has lured many an artist from Cezanne to Van Gogh. today it remains a bustling artsy kind of place that is home to many university students keeping Aix extra lively…just like its fountains. enjoy the photos and visit Aix en Provence if you ever get the chance – you too will be taken by the city’s joie de vivre!
