Our garden stroll lasted 3 or so hours. While we did occasionally see other garden visitors, for the most part we were all alone. We wandered along the trails reading about the various plants (from a 14 paged well translated English pamphlet) as we took in the beauty of the earth and sea (the land overlooks the Bay of Latte). It was a slightly windy day and it added a beautiful sound as tall pines and palms swayed back and forth. The middle picture in the collage is the ancient Roman Road which is also called Via Aurelia. It was an important line of communication finished in 12BC that connected across parts of what is now Italy. Standing there, looking at this road and imagining all who have passed by over the centuries, I was once again taken away by the connection from past to present. I can't imagine one soul who passed by who wouldn't have been taken in by the glory of the view and perhaps, too, wondered about their place on our planet.
