Interesting stories, Italian lessons, good conversation in 6 languages, typical dishes, funny jokes (hopefully!) and a smile.

Gigs, books of all kinds, foreign languages, painting, drawing. "The most beautiful sea: hasn't been crossed yet. The most beautiful child: hasn't grown up yet. Our most beautiful days: we haven't seen yet. And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you I haven't said yet.." Nazim Hikmet Ran "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." Robert Frost
