Nove (Italian Ceramic Shopping)

Now that we have over a month left. 

My list of things to buy and wants to do needs to get checked. 

And one of it is Ceramic shopping. 

Italy is known to have the best Ceramics. 

It's the best place to buy some. 

Me and my girl friends decided to go on a day trip to Nove.

It's only about an hour and half drive.

It's not that bad.

I'm grateful we can go to another region now. 

Wew!

I would be so sad not to be able to get what I want if we are leaving during a lockdown.

Our first stop is the ELIOS CERAMICHE.

You can just easily stop by and look around no appointments or anything needed. 

With the new rules, of course you have to comply.

Wearing mask, social distancing, sanitize hands. 

Like I always say.

I will never get used to this "NEW NORMAL"

But it is, what it is.

Better safe than sorry.

They have really unique designs that you can't find anywhere else.

The store has two floors.

Plenty of ceramics to choose from. 

I picked few nice ceramics there.

It was nice.

How cute!

Our second stop is the place I've been wanting to go.

The VBC Ceramica. 

Google map it and these two store we went two is just about 5 minutes away.

That's so awesome!

They have tons of Ceramics!

To Authentic Italian designs,

To Tiffany ones..

Everything you can ever imagine.

It's amazing.

I swear I love this place.

That was a really tiring morning so we stopped for some fast food!

It was such an amazing day. 

We had a blast!

Wear your mask!

I got home so happy!!

So happy with everything I found.

If you are stationed here in Aviano.

You need to get some.

Even just a little bit.

What an amazing day!!!!

The Pose..

"The pose begins when you want to get out of it."

Miramare Castle (Trieste)

After trying to go to Miramare Castle few times last year.

This year it finally happened. 

Last year's Spring was a lot of rain, like crazy. 

So we cancelled a lot of plans. 

This year we got lucky for a little bit.

Before the Rainy week started, We got to visit Miramare Castle in Trieste.

This castle is definitely more gorgeous in person.

The walk to the castle was breathtaking too!!

Miramare Castle or Castello di Miramare in Italian is a 19th Century Castle direct in the 

Gulf of Trieste, Northeastern Italy.

It was built from 1856 to 1860.

See more here (Wikipedia)

It was a bummer that the museum was closed when we got there but there were still people around.

Enjoying the Castle grounds.

And we enjoyed it too.

So beautiful!!

My loves.

It was perfect timing to get some pictures since there was not much people there.

The weather was perfect.

I felt like a princess in my Castle.

Definitely one of the most Breathtaking view I've ever seen.

Perfect place to enjoy and relax with my love.

It was also few days before our Anniversary.

So romantic!

Visit when you can!!

Few Months left in Italy.

With exactly 2 month left in Italy It's so nice that we are able to move around

and do things. 

Life here in Italy is starting to feel somewhat normal.

I can't believe we made it to this point. 

..And I can't believe that we are leaving soon.

It has been amazing 4 years of my life. 

I am ready for our next adventure. 

Back to the USA we go.

Now, that we are able to go places again.

We have been doing a lot of first times.

Which felt a little weird.

Our new normal definitely doesn't feel comfortable yet. 

With distancing with everyone, wearing mask wherever we go. 

None of these will feel comfortable for me. 

So these are all of the first time I've done recently since the lockdown was lifted.

Coffee downtown! 

I got to go to the Market again, I'm still not quite comfortable to bring the kids so I just went 

by myself.

It was nice!

Finally got fresh flowers after few months of not being able to get any.

The kids are able to get in the car again and go for a drive.

So we took them to one of the Aviano Gelato place.

One of my favorite because they have Strawberry Cheesecake Gelato.

It was a good day!

Then we visited Lake Barcis.

Probably our last time.

The beauty of this Lake will never get old.

I will always remember the first time I ever visited.

It was our first local sightseeing.

The beginning of our adventures in Italy.

It's so crazy how time flies.

Going to try and enjoy the last few months left here. 

So blessed to be here, I'm forever grateful for this amazing experience
