I had the honor of participating in an archeological dig, last year. It was amazing for me. The sun was shining; the sky, clear, and then it happened. This picture reminds me of how life changes. Suddenly, the challenges come upon us. They appear quickly just like this dark cloud.
Known for its mountainous territory, Italy is for me one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Southern Italy has grown in my heart. However, let us move on to today’s photos. I have two for you of Verona. I had the golden opportunity to see Turandot in the opened-air arena of Verona. When I got there, the arena was filling, and believe me when I say; every seat was taken before Turandot began. I was sitting high, directly across from the large construction reaching toward the Heaven. When I looked at it, I thought I had been transported back in time. The first photo shows the arena at its finest against the backdrop of the sky. Unfortunately, I could not get a snapshot without people walking across my view. Verona is for me the city of music. Of course, the Mailander would probably disagree.
In the year 2008, I had the privilege of driving from Monterey, California to the East Coast of the United States. We took six and one-half weeks, and I showed my husband an America that you can only see through the eyes of someone who loves the country. It was a beautiful drive. We visited Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia and only drove through some other states that were equally fascinating to see from the highway.
This is a picture of the sky that hangs over Illinois.
Last year, I had the privilege of attending the Women’s Fiction Festival in Matera, Italy. The Festival was fantastic. What pleased me the most was my living quarters. I lived in a hotel where I was the only tourist. The people were all Italians and I had one of the best times in my life. I learned quickly to adapt to the Italian way of living and I enjoyed it.
Especially, when I returned back to my room after a day of conferencing, I looked out of my huge windows and watched the sun go down. I stood before the windows and daydreamed until the evening meal. Therefore, this picture of the Heaven means a lot to me. I found my peace as I looked into sky, watching the day disappear and the view won my heart.
