More of My Thoughts on Europe

ITALY WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.  We had a joyous bus ride climbing higher and higher in The Italian Mountains.  The people of Italy build their houses on the so very high mountains and it takes your breath away..The magical wonders of nature come blazingly to life as the travelers ease through the Italian countryside.  Also, another vigorous and sensational experience that became a powerhouse part of us was our wild and fun boat ride on the strong waters of The Mediterranean Sea.  The boat men were such super seamen.  Like all the charming men and women of the superb country of Italy they were so friendly and warm to us the visitors.  I feel that the Italians and their kind words and deeds helped my wife and I to enjoy even more of the terrific dramatic emotionalism that is modern Italy. Yes, Italy has so many positive vibes. This world of Dante Alighieri and friends is so creatively stimulating and a super totally strong  life experience.

A Very Meaningful Trip to Europe

WE ARE BACK from Europe.  It was a terrific trip, indeed.  We visited the deliciously fascinating countries of Spain, France and Italy.  In Spain we saw the ancient city of Barcelona.  This place in Catalonia proves charming in so many ways.  The people have such a sophisticated flair and the sights and sounds mesmerize us so much.  The Catholic culture is rich and unique in Barcelona. When we got into France we especially loved the superb city of Nice on the French Riviera.  It had views that really take your breath away.  In Italy, we found the old city of Rapallo on the Italian Riviera so charming.  The shops were delightful and the panoramic view of The Mediterranean was tremendous. Perhaps the crowning moments of our sojourn took place in Florence Italy.  The Italians call Florence..."Firenze."  This is a fantastic genius of a city.  We delighted tremendously in the incredible artistic creativity that is Florence.  And the cuisine was genius personified.  I feel and my wife feels that our lives have been changed dramatically by those October days in the mighty world of Europe. Because of Europe, life certainly is now a marvelous joy.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
