Am back from Tours, France after eight days of absence. I really had a great time with friends. Tours is really a beuatiful city; clean, well organised, quite and people are very hospitable. Aside from Tours, we went also to visit Amboise (of course the castle), Orleans-the city of St. Joanne of Arc. But the thing that really satisfy my eyes there is not the City itself but the Gothic Architecture. From Tours, to Orlean goin' to Amboise, Cathedrals and principal historic buildings shines the granduer of gothic Architecture. What a crazy thing to do...i spent almost half a hour just to scrutinize every angle and every part of this wonderful master pieces....
I know that UK have great Gothic Building, that's why i really enjoyed my two months visit there last year.....Buckingham Palce, Westminster Abbey, Canterbury Catherdal....these are just some of those memorable buildings i had a chance to visit.....I really adore these buildings....and I promised to myself...i have to comeback there...and by that time...to enjoy not only the Gothic buildeing but also the marvelous english landscapes....

This is Tours' Cathedral

The Castle of Amboise

When we were doin' camping the Mt. Lattarico, Southern Italy, everytime we passed on a stream, I always encounter this creature....it looks like a "salamander" but am not sure because this animal loves to stay in the water, infact every time i saw it, it's in the water, may be because its summer time or it could be an a(c)quatic salamander...
It's a beautiful creature though....the place is fantastic....i could say, its the real treasure of Calabria...peaceful, fresh water flowing all the time, streams everywhere....mother nature is very kind in that place....

About this gentle creature, can somebody tell me what is this precisely...

Thanks!!!

Hello Everybody, am back from vacation. I went to Southern Italy, like what you've said James, this time, I spent almost everyday lying in the beautiful beach and in the afternoon i watched the sun setting in the far horizon and some days were spent in the mountain. I spent the whole vacations with friends and their family....
Lot of things happened worthy to be kept for the rest of my life...knowing new friends...
Am not good in telling in details of everything that happened during my vacation, but even if am a good story teller like J.K. Rowling, there are still feelings that word cannot described and i cling unto this...
Its good to be back...though it might not be like before...but am always here to read you blog and leave some poor comments if time permits.
