Photos/icons
I suppose this is a little self-indulgent as much of it has to do with my trip(s). I already mentioned to red_day_dawning, the only fic inspiration I had at all while I was away was for a Snupin for her but I haven't managed to get it finished - instead my brain writes Ron/Scabbers to pass the time. :P However, I do have some things to share instead.
While we were in Torino, literally no more than two blocks away from our home away from home (here's a little map), I noticed the name of this pasticceria-also gelateria, caffeteria, and ricevitoria (means you can play the lottery there). So Remus is keeping himself occupied. ;)
I did also happen across this car but was in too big a hurry to get a picture of it. I did want to but not enough to miss the bus.
Next on my travels, I headed to North Carolina. The town we stay in is called Nag's Head. My husband gets up every morning to watch the sunrise. At this time of the year it's about 6:15 or so. When we were looking at our pictures, I thought of you. My husband assures me the color is authentic, or at least it's how the camera picked it up.
So I also made a couple of icons-one with your name and one without.
When you drive just a few miles West and over a bridge, there is a little town called Manteo. It's most famous for the fact that Virginia Dare was born here and she was the first child born in the Americas to English parents. Of course, there is the fact that the entire settlement vanished as well.
We also have a coffee shop and bookstore we love here so we usually take at least one trip during the week we are in NC. I just had to snap a couple of photos of this place for you.
And here is an icon for you as well.
I hope you like these little tokens-the photos I myself took, I definitely had you in mind at the time. *hugs*
