Raphael’s eye doesn’t just create magic on paper, it captures it via a cell phone camera. Some great shots of the scenery to be had around Sassi Italy Tours world headquarters.
In addition to Raphael’s drawing in Italy and sculpture in Italy seminars, we can offer direction for photographers looking for amazing aesthetic opportunities well off the beaten path in Italy.
“Pick me up!” Desserts like this are why I put 15lbs on in three weeks on my first trip to Italy in the 8th grade…they’re hard to say no to!
Join us in Padova for a private cooking class with Isa and learn to make this yourself.
…in the Berlusconi melodrama, but I’d think this is another step in the right direction for Italy. Some accountability, even for influential oligarchs like Sylvio, is mission critical for righting the ship in a country beset with bureaucracy, graft, and inefficiency.
Reward after a long hike, sore muscles, sore feet, and tired lungs? Seeing the melting snow result in this magical little spot. Calming.
Those out of the way places, finding them makes life so much more livable.
Beautiful.
I’ve never been here when it’s raining…it must be magical.

I wonder
Isn’t it that the air breathes us,
That the light consumes us, that every object takes from us the necessary?
The money buys their rate of exchange from us
The clock winds us stereotypically to its face, in an occult dance
Invoking rains and non-rains for an Earth that abusively and tyrannically possesses us
The wine distils us and takes sips from us, the food digests us in an asymmetrical swinging
And who in the end is left to wash the dishes?… these precarious, curious me..
I watch distracted, from a twisted angle, hostile statues,
Isn’t it that all questions are boomerangs
Aiming for my knee, my neck…?
And this “isn’t it”, doesn’t it watch me upside down in lying mirrors?

Può essere che… l’aria ci respira a noi

Sticky Rice! It’s what’s for dessert.
Lesley’s pics remind me of the Phantom Canyon Road in Colorado…amazing, but dusty! And for sinus sufferers like me, this feeling is all too familiar:
He asked what was wrong and I told him that I was stuffed up and couldn’t breath. He fell back and walked with me, allowing someone else to lead the way along the path. He took my bag, later carried by one of the tourism reps, and gave me water while explaining that shade was not far. He distracted me by talking about his children and family. When we did arrive to a saving tree, he poured water into my hands and told me to sniff it up; he literally wanted me to sniff the water up my nose. Hesitantly, I did it. It burned and poured out the first time. I was embarrassed with water coming out of my nose and dripping all over my face. No one looked at me in an attempt to make me feel better. He asked me to do it two more times. Although I hated it and felt like I was drowning, it provided relief. I could breath through my nose again. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be enough to get to the hotel but it was a start.
The ability to stay on the move really helps make sure you maximize what you can “absorb” and enjoy when on the go in a foreign country. Get out there and get some time hiking in before you travel so you’re ready!
From Jordan: 
Juve, on top of Serie A once again.
Ever been to a soccer match in Italy? It really is exciting…and occasionally a bit rowdy, but also just an amazing spectacle even if you’re not a sports enthusiast.
Interesting. They’re two different languages and clearly describe differing products, so as much as I’m sympathetic to the Italians’ need to protect the integrity of their product and it’s naming convention, the Croatians seem to have a legitimate case as well.
Putting together a couple special things for that month–if you’re thinking about a fall trip, inquire about special offers as it’s looking like a promising month for travel.
