Go to the Venice Carnival

Carnevale di Venezia

When I was little, my mum had a poster of two beautiful carnival-goers, their faces masked, set against the backdrop of a gothic palace. I used to look at that picture all the time and dream about what it would be like to go. It was like another world, the people so elegant and shrouded in mystery, how you would imagine a fairy kingdom to look.

Well, I got my wish, and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. It was a magical experience.
