Getting to see more of Assisi, Italy

Passport Overused's avatarPassport Overused

Going to this Italian city always pulls my heartstrings. Growing up in the San Francisco bay area, Assisi has a lot of connections to the business hub of that metropolitan region. This is the place where St. Francis lived. The one San Francisco, California is named after. All of the buildings, of course, do not look the same. However, you can still see how the two areas look alike. Especially, when you leave San Francisco and go out to the outskirts. Spanish and Italian architecture has many Similares.

Every turn we took, it was almost like walking into another piece of history. The buildings making your mind wander. How old are these homes? If walls could talk, what historical stories could they tell us? So much beauty to take in. The moment was hard to put in words. Think of going…

The Grand Tour 6: I’ll take you home again (north)

kathleenjowitt's avatarKathleen Jowitt

(Part 1: can’t you hear that whistle blowing?)

(Part 2: rise up so early in the morn: north and east)

(Part 3: I spent cities like a handful of change: south)

(Part 4: you’re so ambitious for a juvenile: west)

(Part 5: I walked alone: west again)

4 May 2018

I was still limping the following morning, and my foot had come up in a spectacular bruise across the base of my toes. However, movement was less painful than it had been the day before, and I made it down to the station with only a token amount of wincing and cursing.

No train this time, though. I was taking the OuiBus – a very convenient service, which I’d booked online on John’s recommendation the previous day, and which would take me to Geneva airport. This was a much quicker…

I drive to Amish Country twice a year and NEVER come home without Whoopie Pies. I decided it was time to make my own. They are more of a cake like cookie, not a pie. I researched the name and there is only speculation where they originally came from. It is believed that they have been around since the 1920’s. The batch doesn’t make a large quantity (about 9) but they do make a large cookie!

gabrieleromano's avatarGabriele Romano

Everyday Life is the eighth studio album by British music group Coldplay, scheduled on 22th November 2019 by Parlophone. This is a double album divided into two parts entitled Sunrise and Sunset, both containing eight tracks.

On October 23rd the album’s track list was announced, instead the following day the double single Arabesque / Orphans was published.  On 3th November , the eponymous Everyday Life, the closing track of the album, was extracted as the second single.

Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Neil McCormick acclaimed the experimentation of the album, stating that Everyday Life “feels organic, analogue and playful as Coldplay dip into different musical genres, trying their hands at choral, classical, gospel, blues, folk, African funk, and a blissful slice of doo wop on ‘Cry Cry Cry’, with Martin pitched against his own varispeed falsetto.”
