I just wanted to share some photos of my beautiful niece Sophia, who just returned home after a week in Italy.
My sister Shawn was worried she wouldn't want to come home to Greene County, Pa; I was worried she'd be snatched up by one of those Italian modeling agencies looking for their next tall and skinny model!
(Sophia is 21 years old, 2 inches taller than me and probably doesn't weigh half what I do. Plus she's beautiful.)
Anyway, here's some pics of her in Rome at the Coliseum, Venice and Tuscany. I was only planning on showing "selfies" here as I don't know Sophia's friends, but we'll see.
I just wanted to focus on Sophia anyway. 😊💛
Ok, this one of Sophia and her friends is so pretty I couldn't resist
What a nice trip for Sophia! And, Doug, you're correct. She's gorgeous--and intelligent, too! I can see why your sister was worried. Sophia looks like she fits perfectly in Italy. And that wouldn't be a bad place for her to eventually live. I would advise any smart, young person with their life ahead of them these days to consider other countries. At 72 it may be too late for me but if my son and his family would go I would leave in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteThank you Don! I haven't gotten to talk to Sophia since her return a couple days ago, but you're certainly right. She seemed to fit in there very well. It amazes me. And I don't blame you one bit for wanting to live somewhere else if possible. I agree.
DeleteShe looks like she fits in perfectly in Italy and with a name like Sophia--she could pass for Italian! Beautiful photos, Doug. They make me want to go back to Italy.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Margaret--she does look like she fits there, doesn't she... I'm very sure someday she'll be as well traveled as yourself. :^)
DeleteIt is obvious that Sophie (and her friends) had a wonderful trip. My favorite photo is the one of her in the apron. It's fun and beautiful with the cantina in the background.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure her hometown will seem at little tame but remind there are other trips to come!
