I miss my father tremendously.
To save you from critiquing my grammar, I have
decided to make this blog shorter than what I intended. Not to mention I am writing this at 3:00a.
I'm mainly focusing on the pictures that many of you have asked about. So here ya go:

I added a tab for music on here. As all of you know, music is one of my
passions. And I thought it would be groovy to share some of my favs. (artist). Of course, it is for those of you who care to expand your
musical horizons. :-)
And now onto the post……
VILLA BORGHESE – This park is awesome! Tranquility to escape the “pollution” that is
in the city. Zoo in the middle of the
park. Gotta love it! Not to mention the gardens, sculptures (duh),
and museum. I have to add it is very
touristy though. With that being said,
it is not my vibe to go there regularly to run. But it is still an extraordinarily stunning
park!!
TIBER RIVER – I put a few pics up of the river in my first post. But
I just had to include this one. Even
though I love my new hood, there is nothing like getting some long distant peaceful
running on the River.
As well as doing some brutal stair climbing during
your run.
And just to be able to be at
the CASTEL SANT’
ANGELO on top of the stairs.
And
run a little bit further and you are at ST.
PETER’S BASILICA!!!
One of the newer monuments - VICTOR
EMMANUEL MONUMENT. And the
monument holds the “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier”
And
of course this post would not be complete without some pics of the Colosseum
-
MOVING
DAY –
Yay!!!
Finally into my apartment. M y colleague Ivana
wanted to make sure the movers did what they were supposed to. She has such a giving heart! And the supervisor of the movers, Stefano. They did a great job.
Only one thing I can say about my apartment and my
hood – totally digging it!! Apartment is
ammmazzzing!! And there are a lot of
restaurants, dessert stores, and gelato stops close to where I live. Yummy!!!
:p
CLOUD TIME!!!
I
have enjoyed exploring Rome very much.
However there is nothing more I miss then being out in the elements –
mountains, water, etc… I was very
fortunate to be able to go back to one of my old stomping grounds recently – GERMANY!!
I spent a few nights in Frankfurt. Brought back some fine memories….
But the highlight was going down south to Bavarian Germany to spend time with my old colleague and friend from Seattle, Carla (who lives there now). Her and her boyfriend George were so welcoming and hospitable.
Someone recently told me the importance of making
lemonade out of lemons. Well I think I
prefer to think of it another way – to get out of the pollution and into the
clouds!
Till next time….
Cheers,
