when i go traveling, i check out sights beforehand
{both online and analog}
and enjoy the anticipation of starting off.

{francesca, below is FOR YOU!}
next i indulge myself in the prospect of taking a road less traveled, checking out a nook or cranny, chatting up a local, using all of my senses.... until i'm well and truly lost.
i do that each and every time.
when you allow yourself the time to get lost, you find treasures
and you sample eye candy for future reference. yumm!
A nice message for Francesca and CV members! Have a beautiful day.
ReplyDeletevery interesting!

ReplyDeleteYES
What a lovely message in your Corner View this week Nadine :-) I should allow myself more time to get lost I think! And those cannoli Siciliani looked absolutely divine!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos dear Nadine, I like how they're all go together especially the birdies yellow and cats background and I like to travel the same way!
ReplyDeleteSee you soon,
BarbaraBee
Lovely! And those cannoli.....Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteOH, how I love to travel as you do! And the cannoli siciliani in Venezia, are a quite good example of travelling in a place to find a whole world!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen or eat Sicilian Canolli .... I wonder what it tastes like.....
ReplyDeletevery fun! Totally NOT the expected proforma view of Venice!!! So... seems like Francesca has broken a heart over in Venice - hehe
ReplyDeleteMenthe Blanche.... ehehe... I can't believe you just said that heheheheheeeee! or is it just my mind that's dirty??
mille grazie per queste photos bellissimis dalla serenissima venezia!
ReplyDeleteGetting lost is the thing to discover...
ReplyDeleteLovely discoveries
I loved discovering your city with you ... I never would have found that street market otherwise!
ReplyDeleteI never read the guide books when I travel, or sometimes I peek while on the airplane or after I've been there a few days. My favorite discoveries are the side streets, alleyways and alcoves, too :)
Dearest Nadeschda,
ReplyDeleteyour words could have come straight from my heart!
Love to get lost. Find myself in a bird, or cat, a flower a wall a piece of... something.
xo Ariane.
You obviously have an eye and feeling to find treasures!
ReplyDeleteIt seems as if the little bird told you to follow him and watch the city through his eyes. And the cat looks so serious and wise...what do we know about creature's thoughts?
I love to get lost in foreign places and let me be surprised by coincidence.
And I love to be guided by your pictures and thoughts. Always a great pleasure!
But now confess...you did that graffito, didn't you? Postcard-substitute, no? C'mon...! ;o)))
Let's go travelling, being lost...........
ReplyDeleteI love getting lost, but can only do this when I have no children. I once made the mistake of not knowing the ferry across to NJ from New York stopped running at 7 p.m. and had the kids totally freaked out because it was hard to get a taxi driver to go across with the number of people in our party. It all worked out in the end, but my oldest still remembers it and now has bad memories of our trip to New York City.
ReplyDeleteisn't that the most beautiful graffiti ever? :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you found `Francesca`!
ReplyDeleteAnd that wonderful yellow bird, she goes so well with a travellling woolf!!
Happy adventures to you n♥
