This read like such a wonderful and necessary break from the US. My husband and I spent a month there too in Nov. 2023 and we were hit with such a culture shock on PDA. People full on make out standing in the street, sitting in a park, and anywhere else they can be arms reach to one another. I got chills reading about the wind blowing and your selection of the flower tatoo. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for reading. I am deeply honored. I was a bit shocked when I witnessed all of the PDA and affection but really grew to love it. My flower tattoo is one of my favorites and reminds me of my time in this magical city.

Loved reading about your experience. I'll be visiting for the first time solo the month of April so this is incredibly refreshing to read. :)

Honestly, I think our coffee is better. I am still on the search but I've only had 2 good cups while I've been here.

I have! Years ago, I haven't been in a while and may need to pay a little visit.
