\nToday was\u00a0 filled with peace and quiet..a walk in the serene mountains of Abruzzo…my Tibet..I know\u00a0 when I\u00a0 have reached the top\u00a0 the moment I see my favorite sign..La pace nasce nel silenzio<\/strong> (Peace is born in Silence) at the top of the mountain…and nothing\u00a0can describe\u00a0being at \u00a0the top…\u00a0 where it is peaceful and eerily quiet at 2 in the afternoon when everyone else is at home feasting on\u00a0 a \u00a0Sunday afternoon.
\nThe perfect way to clear out all the cobwebs mulling around in your thoughts and take in some clean fresh air.. But a 2 hour trek in the mountains brings about a ravenous appetite also..
