the sea, the sea

On Wednesday night, my parents and I took of to Italy for an extra-long weekend trip.

Our ferry from Durres-Bari left at 11 pm, so we had a few hours in the evening to enjoy the sunset on the Albanian side of the Adriatic.

We had dinner right on the beach, where, as you can see, the light was stunning.

My adorable mom and pop, who also happen to be the loveliest travel companions!

"It stood headless and armless and legless- brute shoulders merely: it might as well have been the torso of a broken god...The thing was large and black and glossy, and in height it ascended in tiers, like a stadium. Each round key was shielded by glass and rimmed by a ring of metal."
