Castle of Nantes
Greetings from Nantes – beautiful city in Brittany, crossed by the Loira river, French country.
I missed a lot travelling, being grounded in Amsterdam for more than 3 weeks recovering from the knee “let me check” surgery I had.
Full of joy and excitement, I stepped into another taxi to reach the beloved Schiphol airport, starting point for a business trip to Milano, Italy and then here in Nantes.
NOTE: The following post is written in Comic Sans font, because I think I’m funny.
I think everyone has some places that trigger curiosity, excitement, interest. Places we want to visit, we fantasize about, without really a reason behind it.
One of this places for me was Lisbon, Portugal.
After my brother showed me the movie Lisbon Story, by Wim Wenders, I got fascinated by the simplicity of the city and in summertime 2004 I did managed to go there to eat some bacalau.
Another place I always felt attracted is Israel.
It’s one of those places mistreated by the media, one of those places we tend to think that only bad things happen.
The proof was that when I told people that I was going to Tel Aviv for business, the most common comment I got was a sad “don’t take the bus!”.
I was there exactly, more or less, one year ago for the last of three visits I had chance to do there. Runnng on the beach at sunset with 15C while Amsterdam was frozen.
