Venice

Venice is just so beautiful. No other word to describe it.

 

I love the colors

 

I love how there's so many cute little stores selling things ranging from vintage to strange.

 

I love the beautiful boats.

I love how couples just seem so much sweeter in Venice

 

We wandered around and found a church having a flea market thing, and apparently they have a mission in the Philippines!

So may things, too bad they were already closing when we got there.

Still, one of my cousins got a beautiful vintage brown suitcase, another got a couple of vintage frames, and another got a box of pokemon cards. LOL

And the sun has set.

Too bad we only had a day and a quarter to explore. I will be back for sure.

Istanbul

I'm back! Official statement after the Venice post :)

I didn't get to take many photos in Istanbul, we had such a short amount of time (a few hours) to explore and our "tour guide" only took us to the supposed place where the Virgin Mary was born, and then took us to these creepy leather factories where they had a room with a runway where they do their "fashion shows". I swear I thought we were going to be abducted. Although I did get to buy a lot of stuff around the market near the port! Lots of great finds!

Candles rightt by the Virgin Mary's supposed house.

I forgot what these are made of but they're prayers.

 

A Japanese cameraman with his 3D Camera, and his tripod. lol

Bettina and I with the guards

 

My grandmother and her red umbrella

 

I forgot what this is but the next thing I knew, we were in the above mentioned creepy leather factory.

 

And then back to the port Area. Was too busy shopping to take photos.

My dad had his shoe repaired by this fella right by the entrance of the port 

 

Random store. I wonder if Jane Aldridge knows about this. Haha!

Greece

Sorry took so long to post these! The past week has been crazy, and the coming week will be CRAZIER  for sure. I'll try to blog as often as I can :) Also, I SERIOUSLY HAFTO UPDATE MY SIDEBAR! LOL

RHODES

Moussaka, ordered this so I can get free internet. I had to send about a hundred gigs of photos to clients and such! LOL

Wanted those red slippers but the sizes were too small :(

Kind of like Intramuros in Manila

CRETE

Crazy guy sellling "Mandalas" (deserves it's own blog post!) probably the coolest thing my sister and I got from the whole trip! 

My sister's new satchel! I have one, too. Cute! But it was only later that we realized they smell like fish! EEK!

ATHENS

This is about half of our family
