Is It A Fable Or Reality?

Many years ago there was a Hollywood historical movie that name I can't remember today.

There were 2 medieval sisters-queens or princesses there. One was very unhappy, she had to run away from somebody. The other sister called her to come where she lived, showed the best intentions to help and great sister-love. The first sister was so touched to see such cures. The other said: you are so tired, take a bath first and in that time we prepare to eat and your room. When the poor sister entered the bath, the bad sister closed the doors and filled the bath-room with boiled steam. And killed the rival.

On my photos you can see the calidarii, rooms for hot baths of Roman terms in Pompei and Ercolanum. You can see that those are the little rooms where there were the doors surely. And so, the situation, described in that movie could perfectly be real.





Now I want to tell you the REAL story. More. History.

When Hannibal wanted to enter Nocera, Roman colony, he could not do it because the town had very big wall and was good defended. So, he said, he will leave all the population alive if they allow him to enter the town.

The elders thought about this proposal and decided to open the doors. Hannibal, when entered the town, called the elders, closed them in calidarium and killed them all with the steam.

there is nothing new under the sun.

¹⁰ Is there anything of which one can say,
"Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.

The period of crisis is not so bad for us, consumers, in sense that we can find best deals on new cars but used ans vans too. My friend found a very good Peugeot Dealer, went to the nearest dealership and is now the happy owner of a new and incredibly cheap car, so that my husband dies from envy every time sees him. Because our car with the similar qualities costed us double in confront to this one. And if we think that he, our friend, did not want to change the car this year!

Desire To Live

If you follow my posts about gardening, you have seen the great explosion of flowers till this beginning of summer. Now it's time to flower for lilies and I have one survived on my "loving" cures of the last years.

I had 3 of them. I do not like flowers with only one flowering time. But the bulbs have something special and you can not avoid them. So I have today some gladioli and this poor lily. I planted it in this vase some years ago and never changed it or added something. But it grows every year and has hese splendid flowers.



The weather is not hot else and the plant is in a covered position, so it is very high, about 160cm.

But I wanted to tell you about an other poor plant. I have Ipomeas near the door this year. I like this flower and bought special hybrids. The vase is big enough, but the plants were too numerous for it, so, I decided to pull up some of them and to leave only one or two.

A week ago I did it. A WEEK ago. Than I cuted the lover part and wanted to take off the rests some later, when it's possible to see where are the alive tendrils. Here is the proof:



Now, look here. One week later the plant is alive and is full of flowers!!! They are very little, but they are so numerous!

Shopping In Cava Dei Tirreni

After different posts dedicated to the main shopping streets of the main cities of Kampania, Italy,
Shopping In Salerno, Where To Eat 3
Shopping In Salerno, Via Vittorio Emmanuele 2
Shopping In Salerno, Via Mercanti 1
Shopping In Naples

I had to add one more town of the Province of Salerno, Cava Dei Tirreni, where I was some days ago. The period between 13 and 17 is holy meal time, specially in the little towns, so you see nobody in the streets on my photos. I had to wait for my husband and went for a walk there. My aim was to eat an ice-cream (most bars are open).

This is the main shopping street. Many residents of our zone think this town is the capital of the existing world and even never visited other towns in their life.



This central part of Cava is really special and interesting. It is the only street I know here, built this way: with 2 lines of porticoes with a vase of ivies under every arch. 'cause the summers are too hot normally, this street is a nice place to stay.





Finally the proof that the dream time is just here:



But you have not be too unsuspecting. Never believe your eyes if you don't know the prices that was in the shop before. (Learn more about other savings options over here) There are cases when the 50% discount is much more higher as the price without discount.

How Some Trees Can Grow

When I visited vulcano Solfatara, I was letterally shocked to see some trees growing there.

But I have to begin from the beginning. :-)

They say, there is not rain in the zone of Pozzuoli. I do not understand, is only Nocera the object of all the rains here? It rains by us every day about the 14:00. Every day! So, it was very nice to walk there, in the cratere, pampered by total silence and the nature.



In the places you see on these fotos you do not feel the odour of sulphur else. It seems to be paradise. Nobody and nothing. Only you and the nature.



Than you come in the place where the cratere is "alive". The steam of sulfure first and the higher and higher temperature do not allow you to forget where you are. Now I want to tell you about the trees that you see in the background of this photo. If you follow the fence in the center, it "shows" you on some trees.



Here are they, some eucalipts, I think. Little enough, they are incredible. The place where they live is too hot. It's letterally hard to walk there for temperature and the odour of sulfure.



Look here what they do, these trees! The roots are all ON the soil!
