Back from Europe..

  Hello my new "United Members" I see we are now 45? probably 44 since there is a repetition of 1 around there....


 Hope May has been an amazing month and you have learned many new things..  We need to learn something everyday - at least - to keep those brain cells working...

 I have been away in Europe for a month and had very bad "technological" problems. 
My Crackberry decided to commit suicide without even leaving me a note or a warning.. When we got to Firenze; on the second day, the house where we stayed at did not get along with the Internet.. So you can imagine the first day and my 'withdrawls' I was having..
 All of the sudden I saw the morning light at 5:45 A.M. the next day since this catastrophe had occurred and for some reason I did not care anymore.. I guess I needed time on my own with no technical ATTACHMENTS to rely on....
 2 and a half weeks disconnected, discommunicated from the world.. - TV not working either- . 


 Had an amazing time in Paris -with a massive heat wave- so I packed completely the incorrect clothing.. Same in Florence.. But who cares, I did not need much really.. I started to have my own type of Sabbatical moment and loved it.


Soooo...


  To not bore you anymore with my stories... Scroll down, pics to follow.. There are some pictures of "NATURE" so if not into that just scroll fast..
  
   Much love to all my "followers" and the ones who take a peak w/o following - I can see youuu-....




   Tip of the day: Recycle for the ones who do not do it or have not heard of it!! hahaha
