The hills are alive

The trail varied in width and texture running from the gamut of moth grey white and rich black rocks with moss incrusted on them to brick and clay boulevards. In no time I could see the clouds beneath me! The skies of Pelling-the city that felt like my second home-was azure and covered with mist. Towering cedars and pines, and stretching into the distance is the serene Pemayangste Monastery. I still remember the hills-the atmosphere- the people-the sights and scenes-food-steaming hot noodles-everything...I have always longed and pined for such a sight which makes you feel like you are in a limbo-where space and time are not dimensions anymore! I wish to fly to Pelling. On the paraphernalia of fantasy “I will fly to thee, not charioted by Bacchus and his pards, but on the viewless wings of Poesy.” Do you remember any travel experience of yours? Which always light up your mood ? Do you wish to travel again? How many times do you travel in a year?

I am happy you have these wonderful vivid memories. Oh yes there are many travel experiences, but the one that really sticks in my mind was when I was a young woman and went to the North of England in Yorkshire. It was an exciting time. The fields and the trout fishing and so on were lovely.

I want to travel again. But the emergence of pandemic makes me hesitate to travel much.

I used to travel a lot with my husband and I remember every one of our travels. I am fine not traveling anymore, we are no more young.

I remember them all! My absolute favorite is a little village in Greece called Pefkochori and I would love to retire there. It gets a little busy in summer but still my favorite place in the world. Your description made me wanna visit the Monastery( I love Monasteries).
