Padova or Padua — 4 Comments

  1. Jan the pen is your friend. You have a gift in your ability to share even the simplest experiences in an enticing manner. Your words captivate and pull me in. I feel as though I walk beside you, see what you see and taste what you taste. Reading your posts are addictive. You keep me wanting more. I think you have a book in you! Grazie so enjoyable.

  2. Dear Jan, I have loved traveling with you
    this year! But today’s blog is near and dear
    to my heart! I desperately wanted to sit
    next to you in Scrovegni Chapel and share
    With you what I know of these beautiful
    frescoes in Padua! Madeleine L’engle’s
    beautiful book, The Glorious Impossible
    made the Birth of Jesus explainable.
    Her narrative, using the frescoes as
    illustrations is a love story that gives
    voice to the miracle of God’s love for us! I would
    Suggest you try to find this book and go
    back to the Chapel and enjoy these paintings
    in a new way. Copyright 1990 by Crosswicks Ltd.
    This is a book for children. My cherished book
    About the birth of Christ.

  3. I notice the same acclamations that you do, and there comes a point when I realize I am 💭 ng in Italian and translating it back tomEnglishnrather Han the other way around. We had a walking tour if Padova with a guide who was very boring and indifferent until we reached the Scrovegni Chapel. Then she turned into an animated, informative, storytelling, fact filled delight. It was amazing experience. At that time we were allowed only 15 or 20 minutes, but they were only just constructing the rooms which were supposed to sanitize us so we would not pollute the air in the chapel. We always talked about returning but never made it so thank you for this lively visit. Never had black salsify, and would not have expected it to be white – sounds like a good I would enjoy.

  4. Hey gurl! Just now getting over jet lag and a bit of a cold. Really laid low this week. Finally caught up with your blogs after we left. Kudos to you and kenny for the most delightful experience in Venice! Y’all were so accommodating and gracious to us. Thank you so much for your love and tour guiding. hugs to all! Linda
