Two years ago we spent our summer holiday at the Island of Hvar, in Croatia (beautiful island, people - not so nice).
Just before the sunset, my husband and myself went to the heliport at the top of the hill from which the wonderful view spreads to the sea and surrounding islands. Wanted to take some photos of sunset into the sea. I know they’re sleazy images but we couldn’t resist…
Anyways, at the heliport there was this italian couple who also took pictures. So, that Italian man wanted to start some conversation, something like “Nice sunset … ” or so. The only word I could think of at that moment is “sfumato” (misty). The guy changed his face expression as if I said “Blow me!” or something. The guy turned around and walked away.
I felt a little embaressed. Wasn’t quite sure if I offended him or something. Nevertheless, as of this Monday, I am starting with italian lessions. A real adventure! (now you see how adventureous and exciting my life really is)
I wanted to start learning italian for a while now and it turned out that my friends girlfriend is a italian professor so it wasn’t too hard to arrange the whole thing.
Maybe it is not much of a step on the road to 404039 but it will be a small move at least 
Here are some links to images that I took in Hvar at that occasion:
1. Mediterranean landscape
2. Small fisherman’s church
3. Hvar, stormy landscape
4. Hvar landscape on a beautiful day
