...I'm back!

I don't even know where to begin. I have so many photos from the past two weeks. I'm overwhelmed. I guess I'll start at the beginning.
My Mom came and visited me, and my Aunt joined us two days later. On Sunday, we went to the open air mercato on the Naviglio Grande, which only happens on the last Sunday of the month. We arrived with dreams of vintage Prada and beautiful textiles, but only ended up buying buttons. That's right - buttons. Oh yea, we ate some delicious gelato, too.
