enjoy

photo by irene biancarosa

sometimes i wonder
if we spend so much time
trying to be someone

that we forget
to enjoy

who we are


...i like me

two months in...

italy: tre

italy: quattro

italy: cinque

sometimes

sometimes i want to embrace
every wonderful person i meet

sometimes i want to hide

sometimes there is beauty in everything i see

sometimes i want the day to just pass me by

for those of you

who are not immersed
in the facebook world
here are the links
to the first few weeks
of my Italy tour.

Italy: 1
Italy: 2
Italy: view from the ground

more another day...

leaves

...we are the wanders
leaves on the wind
you see
you dance
you don't let the moment pass
without a kiss good-bye
to the leaves on the wind...

magic

there is magic in the music
a dance
a song
a moment from a time long gone

but now it is yours
the moment
the dance
the cadence of the song

verona

verona was the perfect place to get my bearings in italy.
i hope the rest of the trip goes as well.
***
tuesday night:
my gracious hostess, maria.
great cook and wonderful person.
i didn't get to spend as much time with her as i had hoped.
perhaps i will see her more when i stop in verona next time.

wednesday night:
the sunset over lago di garda in bardolina, veneto
and the home of my friend, alex.

sitting by the water enjoying una birra (beer) from a russian.
and listening to fun english/italian musica.
(that's not me with the cigarette by the way, ew!!)

ciosi, the voice and guitar, and generally pazzo (crazy)

alex, the most serious expression of the evening.

thursday evening:
angelina and her restaurant.
a great place to come for her home-cooking
and her lively discussions about the economy
(in italian of course, so i understood nothing).
just make sure you have lots of time, no one is in a hurry.

alex & angelina

alex & me in front of an old city wall of bardolino.
history, history, history.

next stop, venice...

too cute
