Yes, I did it. I woke up early on the 11th of November in Hamburg to start one of my best trips I ever had.
My next stop was Paris. A city I saw a few years ago. I do love Paris and one day soon, will see it again for sure, but for today my destination was Rome - The Eternal City.
Arrived to Rome at lunch time. Weather was just fantastic: sunny with 17 degrees Celsius and this in November. My heart goes by such a pleasant temperatures. Next step to take was- finding the hotel. It was not hard to for Romans are REALLY nice and very helpful.
The hotel itself was wonderful, with whirl pool and everything one needs to relax. Later I realized how good it was, having it. For seeing Rome demands good shoes and feet as well
I couldnt wait to have my first walk. I never book group tours. I rather discover a land/city by my own. I think this is the best way to learn about a country and its citizen, which makes a trip unforgetable or wants you to never been there.
In the case of Rome, I couldnt even imagine such a friendly, relaxed and helpful folk, for ppl in big cities/capitals usually are extreamly busy. However Romans managed to take their time and explain, they would even apologize for 'bad' english, which made them more personable.
The picture I posted here shows the famous Spanish Steps at Piazza di Spagna, with the fountain "La Barcaccia" realized from Pietro Bernini.
New age composer/multi-instrumentalist Chris Spheeris began writing songs on his guitar as a teenager. Inspired by the sacred and folk music of his Greek heritage and other world music, classical music, and pop, Spheeris fused these elements together into his own unique musical style. The folk aspects of his music were prominent early in his career as part of a duo with guitarist/composer Paul Voudouris in the '70s and early '80s. After they disbanded, Spheeris began to create a more complex, keyboard-based sound, which he documented on self-produced demo tapes. One of these demos found its way to the A&R department at Columbia Records, with whom Spheeris signed a deal in 1985. The label released his debut album, Desires of the Heart, and Pathways to Surrender before he left in the early '90s to form his own label, Essence, which released most of his solo output and two reunions with Voudouris: Enchantment and Nothing but the Truth. Along with his solo albums, Spheeris has also composed scores for cable and public television documentaries. He released his Higher Octave Records debut, Dancing With the Muse, in early 2000.

Doctor, please hurry. My son swallowed a razor blade." "Don't panic, I'm coming immediately. Have you done anything yet ?" "Yea, I shaved with the electric razor." ...................................................................... "Doctor, Doctor, You've got to help me - I just can't stop my hands shaking!" "Do you drink a lot?" "Not really - I spill most of it ..................................................................... "Doctor, doctor, will I be able to play the violin after the operation?" "Yes, of course..." "Great! I never could before!" ..................................................................... Man speaks frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor queries. "No, you idiot!" the man shouts. "This is her husband!" ..................................................................... A man walks into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. "What's the matter with me?" he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, "You're not eating properly."

Have a good day and keep out of the Dr's Office....
An old cowboy sat down at Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'
He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on tractors and feeding my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy.'
She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I think about women. When I watch TV, I think about women. I even think about women when I eat. It seems everything makes me think of women.'
The two sat sipping in silence. A little later a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?'
He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian.' ============= Grace
Helloo everyone. A friend send this story to me, I liked and want share with you. Have a nice week ahead.
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said " I am Blind, Please help" . There were only a few coins in the hat . A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign , turned it around, and wrote some words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things work, the boy recognised his footsteps and asked , "were you the one who changed my sign this morning ? What did you write ? "
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written was : "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing ? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind but the first sign simply said the boy was blind . The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
MORAL OF THE STORY -
Be thankful what you have . Be creative. Think differently and positively. When life gives 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Life is mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. ============= Grace
