Caroline's Fall Break Trip to Greece (Athens, Santorini) and Italy (Rome, Venice, and Vatican City)

I like traveling alone but at the same time making new friends. I visited important tourist attractions in Greece and Italy and would like to discuss some interesting things there.
Greece has always been my dreamland. In Agora in Athens, where philosophers discussed democracy, I encountered four Greeks, who in sequence asked me questions about progress, Dorian Gray, time, etc.,  modeling scenes from Socrates' time! 
I made a good friend who also studied in France. Together we visited Melissinos Arts and the poet sandal maker, who handcrafts shoes for priestesses, stars, and the public. When customers come in, the shoe makers measure the customers' feet sizes and design shoes only for the buyers! We took a photo with the owner of this store, who studied at Parsons, the New School for Design in NYC.
I loved the colors of blue and white in Santorini: blue ocean, white houses, blue sky, white dresses in the wind. 
I visited the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, St. Angelo Castel, and the Spanish Steps in Rome. In Vatican City, St. Peter's basilica impressed me as I could listen to the religious music and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere in the cathedral. 
When I was in Venice, I saw children playing trick and treat for Halloween! How international was this American holiday! Under the blue sky, in the music played by a classical music orchestra, a couple danced a waltz. I was moved by their romance and love of music and dance.

  1. I have been suffering from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) for the last four years and had constant outbreaks and pains. During the first year,I had faith in God that i would be healed someday, and i was taking treatments and meds from my doctor. I was taking accyclovir alongside some ointment. I spent so much on meds but the blisters still return after some months. It was early this year, i was using the Internet to see if i could gather any information to get rid of this virus once and for all, using natural herbs. Then i came across a testimony of a woman who was healed from diabetes and Cancer of the breast by one Herbal Dr.yakubu. I copied the email address of the doctor after her testimony. So I sent a message to Dr.yakubu telling him about my Herpes Virus. he told me not to worry that as long as I will make use of the herbs as directed, with God, I will soon testify. I thought he was bluffing. So we got talking and he asked me some questions. He prepared and sent me some herbs in 70ml bottles and ointment, then he guided me on how to use them. In less than 2 months of usage, i was totally healed. The blisters disappeared and the pains gone too. I went for a test and the result was Negative. I had to use a different hospital and the result was same. Since over nine months now, I am Herpes Free.... Please my advise is this, if you have similar sickness or any other sickness at all, Please do not forget to reach out to Dr.yakubu on : (dr.yakubuherbalhealingclinic@gmail.com). you can also reach the doctor on whatsapp +2348057353647
