I missed the celebration of Halloween for the past 8 years as I was living in Florence, Italy. I’m currently in Denver and enjoying the way Americans celebrate the holiday!

This home in my neighborhood decorates in a unique way.

The incredible Trevi Fountain in Rome.

And my favorite!:

Just finished reading this intriguing new novel. I recommend it. A book about childhood, childhood friendship, feeling different, wanting more, learning to find your own avenue. The author has a fresh expression that I found really enjoyable.

Anything, anything at all for a look at Rome at its finest!

This gets my award for best costume ever. Yay to the little girl for carrying it off; yay to the mom (probably) who dreamed it up and made it happen!

Just for fun and a look at Paris!

Two old friends from high school visited me in Florence! Sweet day!
