You well know I don't mind your irreverent comments or whatever they are. As regards your present, I think you are wrong since I liked that article, it is interesting, and I've added that Jai Hind's blog to my mental list of good resources about India. One thing only. All this hype *for* and *against* religions, I wonder where *the hell* is the world going. I'm also a bit responsible, because I've often talked here about the things I don't like about Christianity. It seems like I desire getting back to the ancient Greco-Roman religion(s), but it isn’t true. In any case, I never really talk about religions here but about *civilizations*, of which religions an important part. And yes, I am no more pro Muslim (did I give this impression?) than I am pro any other religion. I’m just writing a blog about the Western roots because they are my roots, and I hope it shows that rediscovering one’s roots means to me also desiring a dialogue with the roots of others. My generation was a dialogue generation, no doubt. We felt we were all brothers, no matter the race, religion, culture. Call it the hippie generation, Falcon, call it the way you like. And do not eat too many mushrooms, they’re bad for health ;-) @Falcon

It is the last time that I'll spend a winter on the sea. Pity, because I adore the sea. @AutumnSnow

I think if you really like that place, you would find way to get over the humid.. I can suggest you not to stay close to the sea in Spring. I think Autumn is a good season for you to enjoy the scene of the sea. The humidity in autumn is much lower compared to in spring. Hope it could help you. :-) It’s quite pity to hear that it’s a bit too humid to you, Man of Roma. I think if you really like that place, you would find way to get over the humid..

And the place too: Sorrento, not far from Naples. Btw, you are a very good photographer. @Ashish If by 'Middle ages' you mean religion pervading almost everything you do during the day, yes, some Muslim are like that, but I do not think they are a majority. People like that are also present in many parts of the United States, it is not only a Muslim thing. In Europe we are actually less religious, I would say the majority of Europeans are agnostics, like me. @AutumnSnow Sweet and romantic thought of you, dear AutumnSnow. Yes, I would also like to live in a place like that forever. Only, I recently realised that sea climate is a bit too humid to my taste lol. @Di

Who can say though? It only takes a spark to light a field of hay. :) I meant middle ages as in thinking not in living. :)
