"Benvenuti!" Laurel16's Profile
I'm a native Californian and I love my state. I'm happy to share all I know about it. I also have an appreciation for all the places everyone else calls home. I especially love Italy, the land of my ancestors. If not for the responsibilities and trappings of life, I'd want to live out of my small, rolling suitcase and experience all the world has to offer. Please forgive the spareness of my page. I joined VT in 2005 and never added much. I've added to my travels since then and realized I should begin updating my page! Happy Travels!
Some beautiful flowers at Ano Nuevo State beach, off Highway 1 in Northern California. Ano Nuevo is where you can see the Elephant Seals, which are amazing creatures.
The view of Lizzano from a nearby hill. This is my second favorite place in the world.
I was travelling from Munich, Germany to Bolzano, Italy by train. When the train stopped at the border, I stepped out to take this awesome picture. It's one of my favorites ever.
This is a view of the pier and ocean from the cliffs in Santa Cruz, California.
A shot of Stockholm on a cold winter day. This was the coldest day of my life but I had a wonderful time.
California
Many states in the Western United States & Hawaii
A few states on the East Coast
Germany, especially Munich
Austria, especially Innsbruck
Sweden
Italy, mostly the extreme north and the extreme south
Mexico
Canada, especially Vancouver
Back to Italy, any time I can
Egypt. I've always wanted to go.
Greece, since people of the Salento are Greek-blooded
And anywhere else I get the change to go......

September was a busy month in Paris, and I am sorry to have missed your birthday. I hope it was a great one.
