Anne-Claire and Ludovic are leaving on the train to Venice tonight, to have a romantic breakfast tomorrow morning somewhere near the Piazza San Marco, before flying back to Paris.
Which reminds me of how beautiful Venice is, especially out of the main tourist season.
Which reminds me of how great it is to live only a two-hour drive from Venice and to be able to go there for a coffee just about any time.
Which reminds me of the day in July when me and my wife put our van on the ferry boat heading from Venice to Greece (on our way to Albania) and enjoyed the view of this magical town while the boat was passing through the Canal Grande, just by the Piazza San Marco.
Which reminds me that I actually have a photo of this moment:
Seeing this photo brings me back to that moment of peace and hapiness and reminds me how much I love my wife. And how much I miss her now, while she is still in North Ossetia. Until tomorrow. 
:heart melting:
I just feel the love.

What a great example of letting the past improve the present! Something I’m still learning to do.

Nice one boet. Isn’t it great to be “reminded” of the love we have? We are lucky bastards aren’t we?

AA – seriously, mate, dead seriously: I AM A VERY VERY LUCKY BASTARD! The more a look at her, the more aware of this fact I am. And reading your stuff I guess this applies for both of us.
