One Month Left

I've hit the one month mark before I leave for Florence, Italy. I've been waiting this whole summer, but these last couple weeks it feels even harder. Not only am I waiting for time to physically pass, I'm waiting for my passport and visa to come in the mail, my housing assignment (which I should receive during the last 10 days of the month), and a beautiful dress that I ordered online. I'm trying to not think about it because it's unproductive, but the anticipation makes every day feel like a week.
So in the meantime to make me feel better, I'm gonna start painting some photos that I took while I was in Italy a couple years ago.

Villa d'Este, Tivoli

Roma, Italy

Villa d'Este, Tivoli
Villa D'Este is absolutely gorgeous and the garden is spectacular. Probably one of my favorite places that we visited on the trip. It was a villa built during the Renaissance, and is now listed on the UNESCO world heritage list.
I can't wait to go back. I think the moment I step off the plane, I'm gonna cry.
