in about an hour and twenty-seven minutes, mom and i will be landed back in washington d.c.

and i feel bittersweet about it. 

the plane ride, though, hasn't been too bad. although, this morning while we were getting on a water taxi, mom missed the last step and face-planted at the bottom of the taxi. it was hilarious. 

she is okay, lol. 

everyone made the "huhhhhh" sound, or whatever the gasping noise sounds like, while i was laughing super hard. 

i did help her up, and she laughed too so i didn't feel too bad. 

and even though she still says it doesn't hurt, i know it does. she's being a big trooper about it all. 

i love her so much and wouldn't have wanted to go on this trip with anyone else. even if we did want to kill each other everyday. 

well, now there's an hour and twenty-one minutes left and i have to start getting myself together. 

this was an amazing trip to italy. 

ciao!
