On we go...

After another wonderful week spent exploring and enjoying Ibiza it came time to leave. The only compensation was knowing that we will be back....but on we go!
We left for Barcelona, ready to see what this next city had to offer. After checking in we went for a walk along the lively and most entertaining Las Ramblas boulevard. Filled with artists displaying their works, whether it be works of art or drama. It was very interesting to see musicians, magicians with magic crystal balls, ladies painted blue, scary monsters with amazing, out-of-this-world costumes, dancers, and so much more! What a great way to spend a warm evening is Barcelona.
The next day we took another city tour on the open deck bus. We stopped at cathedrals, parks and Gaudi monuments of mosaic art that amaze, dazzle and bring the element of wonderment to the world. Amazing! Europe sure does have a lot to offer in this way. So much that one could spend many months exploring and still not see it all. We take it all in, appreciating what time we have and what we get to experience.
From here we decide to head to Milan. This city surprised us with it's own charm and style. Being the fashion and business capital of Italy we can see how it all fits in. Our luck was it was Fashion Week and altho we did not get to see any shows (tickets being very expensive and probably unavailable) we did get to enjoy the atmosphere created by this most important event in the fashion industry. The city was filled with people, all hotels full, and the streets jammed with beautiful people, all out to savor the experience. We wandered to the cathedral of Duomo, another beautiful Gothic inspired building, and milled around with the thousand others!!
From Milan we were excited to get to Damanhur, the eco-spiritual community located just 20 kms outside of Turino. We took the train and were met upon arrival by our friends. So great to see them in Italy. We managed to jam all of us and our luggage into their car and headed out into the Italian countryside and the start of the Italian Alps. Arriving we were welcomed and taken to our guesthouse where we would spend some days again exploring this magical place. We have much to learn about Damanhur and everything they have created here - the sacred woods where the plants play music to us, the magical Temple of Humankind where the magic of our divinity is expressed.... so much it is hard to express in words, needs time to be absorbed. Will write more about Damanhur after some time processing the magic of this incredible community and their work...
Until then, the light and love of life keeps on shinning and we are happy for all that we are experiencing.
