Il Giardino Segreto Ascoli Piceno

... of my life (so far) to get up and go watch such a beautiful moment in an ordinary day. Please see photos, as I took MANY! But all are on facebook if you would like to go through them all!! Hahaha.

But anyway, I have gone into way too much detail as it is here, so if you want anymore info, just ask, or look at the photos.

I love you and miss you all. And wishing that everyone was here to enjoy the experience of this country as well.

Ciao! xoxox

... of San Severino Marche leads you through the frescos of Salimbeni brothers in the San Lorenzo in Doliolo church, the works Tacchi Venturi gallery with art work made famous by Crivelli and Pinturicchio. Remarkable places are also the Feronia Theatre and the Modern Art Musuem and do not miss the neoclassical works of Bigioli on the Noble Floor of the Municipal Offices.

San Severino Marche ...

We found San Stefano because we were having difficulty finding somewhere to stay – everything seemed closed and there were military tents dotted around the countryside. We finally asked an old guy and he said we could park up outside his house. The lovely old guy and his cats and dogs are in the photos. He explained to us that everything was closed because they were on EARTHQUAKE ALERT. We had ...

... to spend some time in someone's home. We returned to Fermo the next day to experience some of the sights that had been closed the day before. There were extensive Roman cisterns built below the old town centre. The technology that existed around 2000 years ago was pretty incredible - particularly the concrete waterproofing. It seems that we have not progressed so far as a civilisation. We ...

... si cartile se gasesc in biblioteca spre a fi consultate. Nu stiu de ce aproape toate cursurile alese de mine fac parte din exceptie...Nu stiu de ce studentii prefera sa cumpere acele carti (si cartile cerute pana acu costa 18 euro, 23 de euro si chiar 47 de euro!!) in loc sa vorbeasca cu profesorul si sa remedieze aceasta situatie. Eu, straina fiind, n-o sa fac asta. Dar daca se pot face imprumuri interbibliotecare, o sa apelez la ele, chit ca tre sa platesc ...

... nu circula autobuzele in directia aceea (chestie foarte ciudata....). M-am trezit niste ore mai tarziu ca sa vad soare afara si aproape nici o urma de furtuna care mi-a tulburat somnul de frumusete. Plecarea asta in mijlocul zilei nu a fost chiar cea mai buna decizie. La pranz (unde in jur de unu, doua) se sparge conducta cu pustani. Toti ies de la scoala si toti se duc ...

... Da ce repede v-ati decis! - ..!! - O sa fie copii? - Nu, nu e nici un copil. Avem toate in jur de douazeci. Imi cere numele (il dau pe ala de familie, il spun pe litere), ii spun si prenumele (ii spun ca e echivalentul la Giovanna si trece acolo Giovanna) si : - Va rog sa reveniti cu 2-3 zile inainte de 13 mai pentru o reconfirmare. Si in caz de ploiae sa stiti ca nu se va tine. Cum era faza aia...when in Rome, do like the romans?

... historic centre, and then on to our final stop, Montorio al Vomano. As we left Teramo though, we were blown away by the sight of majestical, snow capped mountains. It turned out that we were staying right by the Gran Sasso; literally Big Rocks. Our 'apartment' was our most impressive yet. It was called Olearium (Olive Mill) and there were old ...

In bucatarie, la o cana de ceai cu Eva. Ne uitam la televizor. Nu stiu cum ajungem sa vorbim iar despre vecin si despre umbrela. - Dar stii, Ioana, ce li s-a intamplat unor spanioloaice? Au plecat la Napoli cu masina propietarului si le-a fost furata! In prima seara! Masina nu era noua, dar acu trebuie sa plateasca fiecare 600 de euro. Iti dai seama? 600 de euro! - Pai in comparatie cu asta, cei 50 de euro ai mei sunt o nimica toata! Eva, habar n-ai ce veste buna mi-ai dat!

... Dar e frigut. Si nu-mi place asta. In plus sunt singura. Si nu pot sa ma desfasor, fiindca stiu ca o sa ma mut. Ma cam plictisesc. Nu am priza in camera- adica am dar e una ciudata in care nu incape stecherul de la laptop. Si acu sa o luam de la Adam si Eva, vorba lui Dinu. Zborul de ieri a fost placut si nu mi s-au infundat urechile - am avut grija sa tin gura deschisa, amintindu-mi de clopotele din biserica evanghelica si puterea lor atunci cand ...
