Happy Easter!


Midnight has just passed, and here in this part of the world is offically Spring! I can see everyday how nature wakes up: trees have wonderful flowers and the first leaves are appearing. And the sun is warmer. It makes me happy. (^_^)

Tomorrow I will work only half day, like every Friday. But differently from the other weekends, this is Easter!! Have you found the eggs left my the Easter Bunny in your garden, folks?
Jokes apart, I will spend this Easter partly with my family, partly with Ely's family. We'll be in Pieve di Bono (Creto) visiting my grandparents tomorrow and Saturday, whilst on Sunday we'll be in Romeno with Ely's family. Lots of kilometers to do...and here gasoline is more and more and more expensive! (1.4 €/liter, which makes 8.15 US$ per gallon...isn't it RIDICULOUS?!?!?!?!?)
We must thank our sick government for all the taxes we pay for gasoline. We should all go by bicycle, and forget the car! (x_x)

However...we have planned to go to Mass on Easter day in a very nice church with Ely's family. It's kind of a tradition these last few years, that we go by feet through the wood from Romeno (the mountain village where Ely's grandfather lives) to the Sanctuary of San Romedio (check also this link, nice pictures of the place, but it's only in Italian!)


It's veeeeeery old, founded by the monks a thousand years ago. It's on a rock, overlooking the canyon all around and there is also a fence with a couple of bears inside. So nice! (^_^)


HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYBODY!
