pioggia.

it's been raining a lot in modena. "pioggia." i mean one second it's beautiful next it's thunderstorming. i love rain, so besides that one time i had to wait thirty minutes for a bus in the monsoon in athens before my 8 am exam, it makes me so happy. and had it not been raining the day we toured the "piazza roma" or "center city" i would not have gotten this picture that makes me so happy:

i don't see why people always complain about rain. so many great things come from it. it gives you the perfect excuse to get muddy and dirty and wet. and jump in puddles even when you're 20.

it also gives you a great opportunity to lay in bed with 500 pillows and watch movies or tv shows all day. or listen to norah jones, or john mayer and sleep and relax. or curl up with a good book.

or you could go singing in the rain.

or even dancing.

or you could just go for it.

or be in love. simply be in love.
