Iseo Lake

Italy is a chest of treasures. One needs a lot of time and patience to discover all of them. I have been fascinated by Italy and Italian culture for a very long time and I couldn't even imagine that one day I would have the possibility to live there and explore it. 

Recently we have discovered another jewel from the chest, and namely Iseo Lake. It is an amazing and picturesque place in Lombardia and it's the perfect location for a break from the daily routine. It was great to be there, on such  lovely and sunny day, with my boys and our friends. This kind of days and places make me believe that life is beautiful and we are really fortunate because we have the chance to travel and see the world. I think I have already told you that being among tourists makes me feel great. I enjoy the diversity and I find it extremly courious to hear people speaking different languages.

Every time we visit a new place, I do some research so that i could enjoy more the vaccation. Here is what I found out about Iseo Lake:

- it is the 4th largest lake in Lombardia;
- it is 25 km length ( the longest lake in italy is Lago di Garda - 52km)
- there are several medieval towns around the lake, the largest being Iseo and Sarnico;
- in the middle of the lake there are Montisola, Loreto and San Paolo islands. 

Unfortunately we did not navigate on the Lake this time, nor we visited the islands. We left this for the next time when baby Oliver will be older and easier to control. I am not sure i have mentioned it before but traveling with kids is not always easy. But we enjoy having him with us. He seems to like traveling and lately riding the car has become way easier (thank God).

I will leave the pictures speak for themselves!

Hello everyone 😇, Italy is the country that has adopted us. I have been living here for almost 4 years now. It has its ups and downs but as a grateful daughter, I will not talk about any negative aspect here. This post is about the interesting facts you probably didn't know about Italy. I didn't know some of them either. And it was fun enough to discover it now. So here they are! Did you know that: 1. Italy has more volcanoes than any other country in Europe. It hosts all 3 of Europe's active volcanoes; 2. Pizza was invented in Naples. And it has recently become UNESCO's patrimony. Not the pizza as a product but the process of making pizza; 3.

Letter to Oliver

Dear baby Oliver, Why do you hurry  to grow up? Don't understand me wrong, I am glad and proud every time you do something new. Your noisy laughter melts my heart. The tender way you look into my eyes is just priceless. When you gently hold my hand it reminds me of all the times I have been thinking of you and waiting for you. Why don't you want to stop the time just for an instance? I wish I could keep the innocence in your eyes forever. I wish I could protect you from the bad. I want to see you growing a strong boy with a loving heart. I don't want you to get hurt in any way! Thank you for making me worth being called a "Mother". You have thaught me what patience is. You also help me understand that not everything should be about me. Your presence in our lives has made us better people. We can talk without saying any words. You are little but your heart is bigger than ours. There is room for everyone! This week you turned 8 months. 8 months of Joy, Love

Tips on how to improve your English

Hello English lovers! I dedicate this post to you! I am glad that we have something in common. English language has become my 2nd favourite language in time (after my native Romanian of course). Unfortunately there is a sad thing about foreign languages: if you don't practice you can easily forget them. Not everything, but most of the words and phrases. Since I don't have the possibility to speak English as often as I would want to, I have decided to work on my own. Therefore I found some interesting sources, where anyone could improve his English. Today I am sharing my list with you. I hope you like it. 1. Pot vorbi engleza/ I can speak English This  FB page  has been created by my FLEX friend Nicoleta Dvornicov.
