Buongiorno

From Italy

Buongiorno dear readers,

I am writing this week’s newsletter from Italy, where I am on vacation right now. I am sitting in a lounge chair by the pool, overlooking the beautiful garden, the green valleys and the Mediterranean Sea in the far distance. It is so peaceful. The bees a buzzing, the birds are chirping and my dog happily snoring next to me. I couldn‘t ask for more.

My view as I am writing this.

Initially, I had planned a different post for this week, but I haven’t finished it yet. And I am not going to stress about it. So I thought I will share a few photos from my trip instead. We are already one week into our three-week-long trip and everything has been just wonderful so far. We have been on a few hikes and did a bit of sightseeing in a few of the rural villages nearby. The photos are a mix of everything. I hope you will enjoy them.

Sometimes you need a bit of imagination where the hiking trail is…

The gorse bushes are in full bloom right now and the smell is amazing

It is nice and shady in the woods. Perfect for a break from the sun.

So many old farmhouses along our hiking trails.

And olive trees.

If these old walls could talk…

More pretty doors than one can count

And more cats too…

Typical colors of Italy: terracotta and green

Flowerpots everywhere you look.

I just love the rustic charm these old villages have.

Another quiet street scene.

I hope you enjoyed following along. I might write a follow up in two weeks, because we are still traveling this beautiful country then.

I hope you all have a wonderful time too! Are you traveling somewhere this summer? Please let me know in the comments. I would love to know.

That’s all from me today. Thank you for being here and for reading this week’s newsletter.

X,

Susanne
