Episode 3 - The Honeymoon Chronicles: From Gondolas to Gelato to Gladiators (Part 2)

Venice, Florence, and Rome. No AC, lots of pasta, missed sunsets, stinkbugs, leather shopping, and late-night gelato. This episode is our slow, messy, beautiful journey through Italy. From wandering Venice’s quiet streets to falling hard for Florence and ending our trip under Roman night skies, we talk about letting go of expectations, chasing the light, and why doing Italy without a perfect plan ended up being exactly what we needed.(00:00) Intro(00:47) First Night in Italy(06:04) A City Suspended in Time(16:24) European A/C and Our Stinkbug Friend, Phil(19:28) Falling for Florence(23:24) Leather, Phone Call to Mom, and a Missed Sunset(28:56) We Hate Tourists (We are tourists)(31:46) Closed Doors + Sweet Detours(34:38) Sunset Redemption Arc(36:11) Rome, Sponsored by McDonald’s(39:11) Carbs, Coins, + Tiramisu(43:46) Ancient Ruins, Tiny Elevators(46:54) Basilicas, Italian Asian Food, and Rowboating Around Ruins(49:56) Last Night and Gelato After Dark(53:51) Goodbye Europe, Hello Jetlag(1:05:16) Outro
