Summer Weddings in Denmark and Italy - Part II

Post-wedding, Sunday relaxation on the mountain. Chess and then group nap with Yogi chants. So incredibly peaceful.

 

Goodbye, Lagacci.

LUCCA.

After the wedding Pedro and I jumped on a train for Lucca, an absolutely adorable city, for a private mini-holiday.  We had a wonderfully romantic time there.  More happiness.  I was finally able to relax and shake all my language stresses from the wedding.  All in all, I LOVE Italy.  Added to the long list of languages I need to learn: Italian.  I may just invest the next couple years to just learn languages. many different languages. 

happy, blurry dancing in the streets. 

Americans spotted.  Why must most Americans (and Germans alike) dress like they are going on a Safari while touring around Europe?  

 

yup, that's an olive tree on top of that tower.  so cool. 

I climbed up for a better view. 

Time to say goodbye and leave the city walls.

Routine Danish Weather Commentary.

I am not sure what to even say about the weather here.  It's crazy.  One minute beautiful, the next lightening, rain and even HAIL (yes, in June), then... moments later nice again.  This rain, sun, rain, sun, repeats over and over again.  Also, one day bikinis, the next day uggs and scarfs.  I guess it's always exciting though.  You never know what to expect.  They say July and August are better... let's see.  

Good news.  Pedro's knee is finally feeling a little bit better.  Good enough to ride his motorbike again.  This brings him more happiness than you know and, therefore, makes my life better.   Here he is washing his baby. 

Another notable update I would like to share publicly is that I finally beat Pedro at chess!!!  He, of course, doesn't accept this, but I did an obnoxious victory dance for about 20 minutes just to make sure my victory sunk in.  I'm on a road to greatness.  I can feel it.  

Summer treats.  I could possibly be the only bride in history to gain weight before her wedding.  When I look back at my mobile photos, it's obvious as to why.  Time to get back to my LA diet and leave Euro indulgences to a minimum.  But, my life has certainly been much more delicious since moving to Europe. 

Swimmers. 

We did actually brave the cold water and went swimming one day.  Yes, it was freezing, but refreshing and super fun.  We finished a lovely Sunday with a garden picnic and a stroll for ice cream.  A perfect day. 

 

seaweed. too. much. seaweed.

  

That's it for now.  More updates soon.  Promise.  xx
