Beautiful Colorado!

It's true. I've been silent again. Life is very different from usual these last weeks. I'm still alive, though... and still in Colorado! The beautiful picture below will prove it! Last Sunday we went hiking with our children and our friends up on a mountain to find this gorgeous lake...

 

 

 

 

 

Right now I'm getting ready to go to Brazil to participate to the World Youth Day 2013 with Pope Francis! The very first WYD I went to was actually in Denver in 1993 (I was still very young, living in Italy, having NO IDEA I would have found my husband in that same place 8 years later!).

 

I will probably write again after that and will share my experience... and lots of photos!!!! :)

On an evening in... Florence!

My vacation in Denver is almost over.. soon we will head back to California. Which place do I like the most? I love both for different reasons... :) What I like about Denver is mostly the beautiful memories that I have and all the people that I love. I try to go see and spend time with everybody! Sometimes it's hard and not possible to do. This vacation I had a great time.. and every time I come to Denver I HAVE to go to eat at Parisi's.. the Italian Restaurant (100% Italian!!) located in the beautiful North-Denver, where I lived for a few years. My husband used to work there {I worked there too!} and we are still very good friends with the owner, a very nice Italian guy from Florence 

{where I was born}. 

The food is fantastic, it's like going to any restaurant in Italy.. even the atmosphere, the quality and the beauty of the environment. I really enjoy going there. Last week we had dinner at Parisi's with our friends. I took some pictures thinking I would blog about it.. of course!!!

..love Italian water... ♥

Schiacciata Bread dipped in flavorful oil... mmmmh

Our happy table!! :)

Week~End in Nature

Wow! I haven't written in a while! It's because I'm very busy enjoying my vacation time here in Colorado. :) 

I just came back from an incredible camping trip with my family and some very good friends. We all had a great time! We really camped with tents and cooked on the camp-fire.. roasted marsh-mallows on a stick... washed our face in the creek.. fallen asleep listening to the sounds of the forest. We lived an adventure! My children were especially excited to be surrounded by Nature.. what a beautiful gift has been this week-end..

I want to share with you just a few pictures I took and end this post with a quote by George Washington Carver.. Until next time!!

*I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.*
