Lusiana, Italy: Village center in the foothills of the Alps, about an hour north of Vicenza.

On a personal journey to discover my Italian heritage, I visited my maternal grandmother's and great grandparents' home village of Lusiana, Italy in 2011.

This is the way they harvest grapes for wine making in the Azores. Lava rock walls keep the vines warm.

Eileen, have you ever been to Capitola-by-th-Sea, in Santa Cruz county, CA? If you ever venture that far, 400 miles north of San Diego, there's a celtic cross, a natural rock formation in the sand. You will see it in low tide. If you're interested, I can tell you exactly where it can be found.

I've submitted several more. Let's see if they make the grade. Just curious, Antigeekess, what line of work are you in? I am a screenwriter, artist, real estate agent, therapist, and mini-movie-maker. :-)

Thanks. I have heard it referred to both ways, though. Are you Mexican?

Havana, Cuba: An Emerging Story

Fascinating. Why do you advise visitors to avoid hotels? Are they dangerous? Dirty? Do they rip you off? What? When were you there, and what prompted you to go to Cuba?

Yes, it's him. He's very proud of his bluebirds that were featured in the movie.
