Under the Tuscan Sun


【Italy】Under the Tuscan sun, he said:" Love, it's not forever. It's day by day, moment by moment. You only have to know today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Italy, I had never expected that a person who learned French like me would stay here for more than 90 days during this one year journey. Yes, you'll never know. ;)

Right after the thought came to my mind. I said: " I want to go camping on the beach." " Why not? Let me check. " He is always calm whenever I have any random or impulsive request. And I was happy to let someone well-organized to arrange this travel after being a solo-backpacker.

So, a good long way to Tuscany, here we go!

This memory is like a beautiful drawing a long long time ago. I only remember a long winding road and the twisting paths in the mountain. This bumpy and shaky ride made me fall asleep immediately. But I opened my eyes occasionally and tried to capture the houses, trees, fields and hills, all glittering in a flood of golden sunshine. When I was still half-awake and half-asleep, I could feel his fingertips gently touched my faces. That temperature of sunshine, was sweet.



There was not only mountains and the sea, but also a huge and calm lake that we found by accident. What we had were a relaxing moment after all that dramatic stories, laughter and chatter filled the air, delights of enjoying these simple and true happiness, and the beautiful feelings of knowing each other without words and appreciate each other like the treasure under the rainbow. 

It reminded me a conversation of relationship with an Italian driver on the ride of a car-sharing. I asked this romantic man who just got married last October that: " How do you know you want to spend rest of your life with her? Do you believe that your love will last FOREVER? " He laughed and said: " No, it's not forever. It's day by day and moment by moment. You only have to know, you love him or her today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." So I finally realized that the magnificent but short sunset is not sad at all, because the sun rises again and again. ;)


I made a little wish secretly in my heart, I hope we can hold each other's hands with happiness today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
