Places enter my conscious life often through happenings, sentiments, people.
It is nostalgie speaking, possibly, but sitting on Spanish Steps reading a book can suddenly seem like one of the most important goals in life.
I have not travelled for a while.
Little nuances, details of the world begin to feel familiar emotionally in that state of mind.
I did not even know that i wish to be in Rome, until i saw this little 2-minute-getaway-scene of BBC about Rome a few weeks ago. It reminded me immediately the bliss of being away, a bit tired, awake inside, happy to share the dust of the foreign city with someone precious to you.
Spanish Steps reminded me that.
Thinking about Rome, though – i would certainly choose to see Roman Forum, immediately.
My imagination lacks colors for this place.

Italia, Toscana, Cortona.
Pure white magic.
I have been a very scandinavian girl,
with deep roots in cold snow.
No lands with citizenships of sun
have never enticed me.
I understood my narrow-mindedness slowly.
Italian joie de vivre, nobility and broadness
have turned me into a humble learner of cosmopolitism.
Perche Cortona?
I have seen Audrey Wells`es “Under the Tuscan Sun”,
by a fortunate accident.
This film is still my – holiday.
I used to have a wallpaper from this movie on my computer
for a long while, to remind me that “amazingly good things
can happen, even late in the game”.
P.S.: Also, one of the views i found, italian views,
the last one, blue lake, has warmed my heart recently.
