Ready for Carmen, tonight!




Tonight, Bizet's Carmen will open the 87th edition of the Opera Festival of the Arena.
Lots of "vips" will be seated in the first rows and the theatre will be complete with people from all over the world...   Read more!

I want to thank all of you, my dear blogger friends who have followed me. Some have been with me from the start, some have joined along the way, some are totally new and, oh, I thank you so so so much for your kind words. Your comments and your blogs have inspired me and pushed me to do my best. I learnt a lot over these months and felt part of a community with real friends, not just names on a page. Some of them have become part of my "daily life" and, honestly, I wouldn't have thought that this could ever happen through the web!

Summer is here (more than 30°C...uff....!) and today it is my daughter's last day at school. Lately I have been taking less photos and been quite busy. We're preparing to leave for summer holidays back in my hometown on the beautiful Tuscan sea of Monte Argentario. Initially we'll be away for a week from sunday. Eventually come back for about ten days and then off again until the end of august. From today I will be more or less on/off, until I will be totally "off" when I will be in Argentario, as I doubt I'll have an internet connection.
I count to be back on track with Verona Daily Photo at the beginning of September. 
I will "knock on your doors" to say I'm back! 

Wishing you all a great summer and wonderful holidays!
Valeria

CIAO!

Have a wonderful summer Valeria. And, I just wanted to say that I feel the same way about friendships in Blogland. Who would have known that this place would have given us so many fun, kind, creative and interesting friends. Thanks for being part of this. Take care and I'll see you in September-
Hugs,
Lucy

That will be more than a month, Valeria. Happy holiday, wish you a great time with your family. Without internet connection, I bet it'll worth it spending days in your hometown. Be safe.

You WILL be missed but your days and week ahead sound like fun. Be safe, store up lots of memories (and photos) that you can share on your return. If you pass an Internet cafe on your travels, DO visit a few of us as we will be thinking of you.

Forgot to ask, are you going to the opera festival tonight? You're the only one who can report and photograph it to us :).

Please let me know when you're back, Valeria!
Is that your daughter? She is so cute. I have a daughter also. She's 2-1/2 years old and a handful! I just love little girls! I can't imagine having a little boy (for now). Have a great summer!!!
