Italy and America – Epcot

Yesterday we talked about the wonderful details in China and how much fun it is just to walk around and take photos of the beauty today our first stop is another place that is fun to take photos of the details… Italy. Italy is home to my favorite photo spot in the World Showcase. Each time we visit Epcot I have to have Norwood take of photo of me in front of Neptune. It all started in 2000 and now a visit to Italy is not complete without a photo in front of Neptune. Neptune is a must see in Italy. Another must see in Italy are the jugglers. They are truly amazing. My favorite memory in Italy happened last year during Christmas. We walked into one of the gift shops there for the first time and I was taken aback by all the beautiful perfume bottles so I began taking photos of them…



While taking photos of the perfume bottles a sudden commotion happened so I looked up from my camera to find that someone had just proposed to a woman in the middle of the gift shop. They were speaking what sounded like Italian and although I could not understand the words the sentiment was clear she had said yes.



Let us make one more stop today on our celebration of Epcot’s World Showcase… America (The American Adventure). America is home to some pretty tasty funnel cakes, The American Adventure Show and the America Gardens. Must sees here are the American Adventure Show and one of the many concerts that happen at the America Gardens theatre throughout the year. My favorite memory from America is when I had a second chance to get my photo take with Bono! During the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series last year we went to almost every show that 2U a Tribute to U2 put on. While performing one of the early shows Paul (Bono) walked off the stage put his hat on Norwood’s head and I snapped the shot. I was so jealous and later after the show Paul was taking photos with people and Norwood grabbed a picture of me but my eyes were closed! The next day we went to the show again and once again he took pictures with fans and this time I had my eyes open!

Tomorrow we will continue our journey around the World Showcase together.
