PEACE
Peace is like love
Without peace,
It’s a broken winged bird
that cannot fly
Peace starts with you and me
Peace is Joy, Love, Kindness
Peace is Freedom
Peace is for you and me

Today is the 145th birthday of one of the best nations in the world – Canada.

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends and followers. Enjoy your BBQ’s, burgers and beers.

To my home and native land – I salute you!

Later this evening Italy takes the stage in the grand final of Euro 2012 against Spain. It’s going to be whopper of a game, a nail-biter, an on-the-edge of your seat, play-by-play game … and I’m going to miss it.

In bocca al lupo Italia! Forza Azzuri. It’s your Cup.

Make this Canadian proud to call you home!

How will you be celebrating these two super festivities today? I’ll be at work …

I’ll be around to stalk read some of your blog posts. I won’t have any new writing material for you in the next month, I really haven’t the time now … I’m crushed.

Who knows … maybe there will be more stories from The Wandering Waitress – A Guide to Traveling the World One Tip at a Time.

Chapter 1 – The Wandering Waitress

Chapter 2 – The Wandering Waitress

(These two chapters have been recently unlocked. I hope you enjoy.)

I will still be participating in the Weekly Photo Challenge and returning emails and comments.

I appreciate all of your comments, advice and kind words.

Thank you for sticking with me.

The Sardinian natives have for centuries used the land to farm pig, sheep, wild boar and rabbit. Never in my life have I tasted food so fresh and unique, my taste buds scream with happiness every time I take a bite.
