This is so beautiful, Natalie! In one essay (even without the STUNNING photos), you took us back there, with you - smelling the espresso, hearing the church bells and, almost, the waves lapping against the gondolas, it was so vivid!. I love your deep reflections here on all you witnessed and experienced, and how this ministered to you through all your senses. That's fascinating to read about Ludovico Einaudi, I now want to go listen to some more of his music and take in all you've described. Thank you for this honouring of the sacramental way you experienced Italy, its churches, art ... and the beauty you bring to us reading through sharing it.
