America - New Orleans - Life is Art...

New Orleans is unique and authentic..!

At the city, where one of the most popular drinks is named "Hurricane",

people prove that life is funny..

and that life is beautiful,

full of colours and music!

Loved the fact of trying to sleep under the sounds of Jazz!

 

 

America - Road Trip - Pacific1 and the Deserts

Full tank, GPS and ready to go!!

Driving along Pacific 1 and getting a sip of the inland deserts of California,

the trip was worth it more than the destinations themselves...

Pictures, diverse landscapes,

people from every part of the world, rare animal species,

music, colours and perfumes...

I can not start describing what we tasted and experienced during all these days,

I have not even realized myself yet,

but I will try to keep a photo diary,

indicative of the route and the itinerary,

trying to capture and share some moments.



San Francisco

Napa Valley - The Wineries

Calistoga - Double Rainbow and
 confrontation with US cops!!







Monterey - Together with its neighbour Pacific Grove and posh Carmel,

have attracted famous writers and artists of the last century





Big Sur - more a state of mind than a place you can pinpoint on a map...

Santa Barbara -Carpinteria Beach - "The American Riviera"



Santa Monica - Pier



Malibu

Los Angeles - Hollywood Boulevard

Huntington Beach - The Surf City

Del Mar - Laguna Beach



La Jolla



San Diego - Aroma of Mexico...



The Road the less traveled...



Grand Canyon

America - stop1 - Van City

Vancouver is definitely one of the most beautiful cities I have visited until now.
Although the sun was hiding behind wet clouds most of the time,
we still had the chance to stroll around the city a
nd visit some of the most popular neighbors and spots.
Ame, thanks for the hospitality..
 it was definitely the best way for my first landing at this continent
and this side of the world!
 I leave the ride along the seawall for next time!

Around Stanley Park

 Granville Island

 

 West End..

Once upon a time in Middle East..

...it was a House with the most beautiful view in town!

Love is...

In love relationships
the combination of physical and mental attraction
is the primary and the least requisite.
The ability to feel free,
to feel yourself and to grow 
through the interaction with the other person is the key.

Negotiations and compromises do not fit here.
Not even rules...

To all the heroes of my fairytales!

When I was a kid, I was enjoying listening to fairytales,

while... daydreaming was one of my favorite "toys" among others.

I imagine that I was not an exception, since all the children love them,

but I sense that for me it was a bit of more.

Of course the end was always happy and of course the good hero would win the bad guys

and at the end "θα ζούσανε αυτοί καλά κι εμείς καλύτερα"!

The fact is that as I was growing up, I kept believing in those and I still do..

Some times I do pass through cynic periods in my life,

but I then escape and return to the marvelous world of "bold and beautiful"...

I reckon that the secret lies somewhere between what is beautiful,

what is "ideal" what gives us happy moments and balance

and to the fact to be able to recognize those moments and people on real time,

living them at the peak.

And somewhere in between,

maybe the fairytale has been already come true...

 without having lost our selves..

To all the heroes of my fairytales:

I still believe in you, I still believe in me..

and the best episodes of each one's story are yet to come!

Enjoy!
