Pictures from St. Helena thru San Francisco

 

 

Images from St. Helena, Napa and San Franciso set to Niccolò Paganini Violin Concertos 1 and 2 Rudolf Koelman , Jan Willem de Vriend – The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra

 

 My video skills are improving!  And, while I love all of them so far- this may be my coolest video to date!

(tho they all seem to escalate, getting really great in the middle thru the end… so watch in entirety as I’d be sad if you missed best parts!) 

Gorgeous images set to stunning music in a fast paced 2 minute video.  Check it out!  And don’t forget to give it a “Thumbs Up”! 

 

PS. Coming very soon, I’ll be writing about what it’s like to be Raw Vegan (& sugar/gluten free) and travel.  I’m not dogmatic about it, and as you’ll notice, I compromise here and there and feel reasonably fine with it.  However, there are affects from being so clean and then eating outside our norm.  I’ll talk about this candidly since it’s something any of us getting healthier to any degree, cope with during travel.   (Meantime, check out my stay healthy travel tips from my visit to Chile– scroll down to the “Stay Healthy when Travelling” section the end of the article)

 

Thanks for viewing and stopping by!

XO’s

Italy 2 ways ~ Il Volo & Umbria

Today is a tribute to Italy two ways…

First, via the gorgeous voices of Il Volo, a young trio with voices of gold who've already gone platinum in Italy.  Their name, “Il Volo,” meaning “flight,” was chosen to signify the feeling that these three young tenors were about to spread their wings and fly.  And indeed they have!  You will be blown away!  (Thank you, Kaye Cloutman, for introducing me to Il Volo. Visit her lovely website, Clout&About)

Teenagers, Piero Barone (17), Ignazio Boschetto (16), & Gianluca Ginoble (16)

And my second tribute to Italy, a painting of a peaceful olive grove in Umbria.  Umbria is the region of Italy often compared to Tuscany, without the touristy aspects.  Jim and I picnicked beneath these beautiful, old trees enjoying wine, salami and cheese.  It was a blustery day, like today, sunny one moment, cloudy the next.
