This week, the WordPress Daily Post Photo Challenge is OPTIMISTIC.
“How do you fuel the fires of optimism?”
Self’s answer is: by traveling. Because traveling makes self rely on a very specific skill set: adventurousness, curiosity, and determination.
And every time she goes on a trip, she has reason to confirm that she still possesses each of those qualities, in spades.
Here, a picture from a recent trip self and her niece, Irene, took to Italy.
The entire trip was Irene’s idea. Self cannot thank her enough. We used Florence as home base and explored outward.
San Marco Square, Venice: November 2015
Irene and Self! San Gimidgiano, Italy, November 2015
It never rained, not once. The weather was perfect: sunny and warm. Almost T-shirt weather!
Irene is a woman of great energy and positive drive. A great traveling companion.
Oh what a perfect time was had by all! Florence, Italy, November 2015
That trip was surely one of self’s best trips, ever!
Stay tuned.
