Amongst vineyards … (PART ONE)

{The two sides of me}: Testimonial of the extremist choices of my life, stand the vineyards, the campanile – next to the Church - that with its bell sign each and every hour, to the mountains that provide an impressive frame to the landscape. From the busy city surrounded by tons of cement, here in the open space, where on good days you can see Venice on the skyline and hear nothing but the sound of birds playing on the electric wire. Here there is a time for making wine and a time to go searching for mushrooms and chestnuts…each season has got its produce and traditions. I am wondering now if deep inside of me there is a bit of me that is missing the buzz of the city …

{I don’t know why but with me nothing is straightforward, I have to miss something in order to love it, to suffer in order to enjoy and to fight myself in order to conquer….}

I hope you will enjoy the walk with me, going to visit my uncle by my grandparents’ house where as a child I used to spend most of the week-end.

Hola dear Kristinco, choices must be living here and there, in the city enjoying the noise and rush hours as well as breathing fresh air from the vineyards while the birds are singing just as when you spent weekends at your grands beautiful place in the earth... combine both and be happy!!!
cariños,
maria cecilia
