Special Days: Apr 23 double-header (Birthday + World Book Day)
It’s my birthday (and World Book Day, and Shakespeare’s birthday too). I grew up loving books in the most literal way: in libraries, with a librarian mom.

This is a retrospective and one of a series of journal entries recapping our trip to Italy in 2024. We continued our journey from Venice to the Cadore region where my great grandparents emigrated from, and eventually returned to live out the remainder of their lives.Field NotesPhotography
