venice recap: part 2
When Big Jim and I were packing for the trip, we had a little "discussion" because he could not understand why I was taking my supersized "overseas" suitcase for a five-day holiday. I countered with explanations that I needed both a heavier coat as well as my rainjacket (the weather forecast was not promising). But truth be known, the maleta was only half full because IT'S ABOUT THE SHOPPING, SILLY! How could the husband think I would go to Italy with just an overstuffed weekend bag (like him)!
And fill my suitcase I did! Don't get the wrong idea, though. As much as I enjoyed ogling the designer windows and the pretty glassware, my purchases in the end cost a grand total of about 20 euros: the perfect shoes for me EVER (the purple mary janes below---handmade and vegetable-dyed), which Air France will be paying for, and boxes and boxes (and boxes) of every sort of pasta we can't get our paws on here in Spain.
Of course, I am scouring eBay for those purple eyeglass frames, too. :-)
