Rome apartments

My grandparents took a trip to Italy for their 45th wedding anniversary. They both were from there and decide that it would be a great way to celebrate. My grandfather was raised in Florence, and my grandmother's family is still in Tuscany, so they decided to just take a month and finally make the trip. When they came back from the trip, they had lots of stories and laughs to tell about.

While in Rome, they got lost and had to ask for help, and it actually was a person that they had known from back in the day. Well, needless to say, they didn't recognize the man at first, but then as the man was helping them locate the Rome apartments that they were staying at, they got to talking and he introduced himself and well one thing led to another and they were having dinner that night with him and his family.

When they left Rome, they went to Florence. My grandmother raved about the Florence apartments, and how beautiful they were, my grandfather on the other hand was not so thrilled. Although, they did enjoy the galleries, I think he was a bit disappointed at all the changes he saw. I think he expected things to be the same as when he was a kid, needless to say, everything changes.

Then they were off to Tuscany. My grandfather had better things to say about the Lucca apartments that they stayed in. My grandmother could only speak about seeing her cousin Rosa and her family and how nice it was to see everyone again. They had a big family get together and talked about the old days.

Finally, they had both really wanted to see Venice and had never been. They stayed in Venice apartments Well, they took a romantic Gondola ride under the bridge of sighs and loved it. It is hard to imagine, but my grandparents are still crazy for each other after all these years. They hold hands, and kiss, and even sometimes just look at each other with love in their eyes. It is really quite cute, to say the least. Anyway, Grandpa was hinting about the romantic evening they had. Claiming that after the gondola ride, it was so romantic that they went back to their Venice apartments and spent a romantic evening with wine and candlelight, just the two of them, if you know what I mean. In any case, I think it was true because Grandma was blushing. Hopefully I will find that kind of love some day.
