This morning I went back to the village for a little photo rejuvenation facial. Walked by the apartment and felt sad. Someone had pulled the curtains and opened the windows to my use-to-be bedroom.
I should really be unpacking and rearranging – so when I come home I’ll have something a little more orderly than mess to come home to. But I’m not. And I wont. I know me. And I know me will stay in boxes and suitcases for the next several months.
He says he’s moving to Bath on our return. Bath is gorgeous and perfect and just what I use to want; but yesterday I walked through The Shambles of that not-at-all-new York…..and fell a little bit in love.
The streets look too Hollywood, too storybook to be real. But they are – and always have been.
I love standing in the middle of it all. Feeling and knowing that for a thousand years people have lived to become things here.
He says I’ll hate the tourists. I say, I’ll cope.

God, that looks amazingly beautiful. I can only imagine if I were there, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
Comment by Jessica 09.06.06 @ 3:03It does look too Hollywood…like it’s part of the studio tour at Universal Studios Hollywood. But still, with all that charm, how could you not fall in love with it?

Comment by steph 09.06.06 @ 9:25York looks like a place I could fall in love with. Someday I’d like to visit.
Comment by Sweeti 09.06.06 @ 15:20My family visited a place that photo reminds me of when I was seven. I’ve never forgotten the quaint shops and that feeling of reserved beauty. It’s the only time I’ve ever visited such a place, and it put such a stamp on my memory that I still remember it, 22 years later. Thanks for the pic!

Does that mean he would go with out you? I am confused.
The picture is lovely .. a place I would so love to visit!
It DOES look a little like Disneyworld! Hope you are enjoying yourself.
Comment by Fitzgerald 09.07.06 @ 14:13Isn’t it funny, how we can be in a real, actual place, and note how it looks “like” a studio tour or theme park? Isn’t the notation supposed to be the other way around (e.g., “Wow, this pavillion here in Epcot sure does look a lot like parts of Rothenberg, Germany!”)?

Comment by bex 09.07.06 @ 20:48Bex, I were one of dem haints. In what he likes to call Classic-Cheesy-American-Photographic Style.
I think you know of what I speak.
