Viennese Escapes: Italian Days


Coffee,
anyone?

Coffee
outdoors
in the Piazza
while planning
your afternoon,

perchance
a little boating
along the seashore?

Or would you rather
have an ice cream cone
filled with Italian gelati:
Liquorice, hazelnut
and Concord grape? *)

  6. Slivered almonds! How could you have lived without them?!

    Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and tasting Tessa's delish bobotie.

    As far as the tempting offer in your beautifully photographed post, I think I'll go with the concord grape gelato.

  7. Well Merisi, I will say yes to that coffee and also to that gelato, and most of all yes to having a time to rest in that lovely light and enjoy the moment.

    Best wishes. xo

  8. So fun to step into Europe and enjoy (at first I typed envy, but that's not nice) your photo ops. Great skill!
