Today is another relaxing day.  I went with my little cousins to Hyper U And bought a plant (a thyme type plant) for my aunt and some solar lights.   She has about 100 lights outside that illuminate her front yard in a rainbow of colours. I thought I would add to her collection as a 'thank you'.Last time I was here, I have my aunt a rosemary plant.   I can't believe how much it has grown in under 3 years.   I would love to have a rosemary bush ...

I've been traveling for almost 2 weeks  now.  It looks like I'm ahead of myself with my blogs though so I'll try to get with the program.   I had a relaxing day yesterday.  I walked to the Hyper U, which is a local grocery chain like Loblaws, only bigger. It was a zoo in there.  I was going to take pictures but everywhere I turned people were around.  It is the Easter rush here.  Everyone is getting stuff for the holidays.  I returned with so...

Yesterday it rained allllllllllllllllllll day.   They are anticipating rain again today.   I was hoping to go to the supermarket and check things out.  My aunt and I talked and she told me stories of her youth.  I understand a lot of the hardships she's had and can relate to some things.

I received an email from Apple letting me know that my phone in Italy should work. The problem is, I'd have to erase it. So I backed it up and saved all my pictures. It seemed to work fine but it was going to take 5 hrs to restore.   At this point, it was already past 10 pm. I realized I couldn't sleep because I relied on the iPhone alarm to wake me up.
