Why am I here?

To experience - not just SEE but really and fully experience - beauty. I have figured out - after much soul and country-searching - the reason for my trip. I've lots more planned to write, but I'm off to see Siena at night with my Roman buddy and a couple of Germans. How fun.

And yes, the region between Lucca and Siena was STUNNING. I think I'll stay in Siena for a full day before heading down to Rome...

Bingo!

Feel peace, see beauty...

my mantra of the last few years...

but better that "seeing beauty" fully is to experience it... now you know why I had to go back and cant wait to go again.

love you J,

Dad

beauty is good. The gelati is also good- almost bumps beauty to 2nd place... dont deny it. I was following you on google earth and there was some castley place on a cliff place- really really pretty and woah, those were some pretty fun salida hills. you are gonna love flat texas when you get back. Speaking of hills, I passed two women on my bike today! okay, they were probably 50s and out for a post-church ride, but still, I was inspired and charley got pretty excited.
a Roma!
