Week 1,LD's favorite places, Mount Shasta California, Flagstaff Arizona, England, Italy....
Mount Shasta California
I absolutely love Mount Shasta California. I first went there in the year 2000. I have only been there twice. It is the most magical place that has captured a part of me, and I always yearn to return there. There are lots of interesting stories about the metaphysical and paranormal things that happen in that area. It is on Native American sacred grounds and has legends to that extent. There are also stories of encounters of aliens, ascended masters, a lost city under the volcano and much more.
Flagstaff Arizona

I was born in Cottonwood Arizona about a 45 minute drive south of Flagstaff. I had family that lived in Flagstaff and we went there a lot when I was young to visit and go shopping because it is and was a much larger city than Cottonwood. In 2001 my daughter was born in Flagstaff. The trees are amazing. They are Ponderosa Pine tress. If you walk up to one and smell it, it will smell of either vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. I am not kidding. The next time you get a chance to visit, do yourself a favor, hug a pine tree, give it a good whiff, and be amazed.
England
I have not had the pleasure of visiting England yet. I have been fascinated by the place since I was a child. I used to tell my parents and grandparents that I was from England and that I could remember being there. I do have English ancestry as well. I think I may be attached to a past life memory from there, and particularly to the time period of the Tudor dynasty.
Trevi fountain in Rome, Italy
I have been learning Latin and studying the medieval period of European history. I want to somehow find a way to visit Italy as an incorporated part of my education. I cannot get enough of Italy! The Romans are so fascinating!
Honestly, I have traveled a lot in the United States except for the East Coast. I love travelling, and I hope that my life will always allow me to see and learn new things. I am a Religious Studies major with a minor in History and I appreciate and like to study all cultures and their beliefs. I am fascinated by ancient cultures the most. I want to learn more about the amazing world we live in! But my absolute favorite place in the whole world for me is to be at home, in my pajamas enjoying the pursuits of my interests, such as reading great books, watching great television shows like Dr. Who and Ancient Aliens, baking and eating yummy foods, playing with my cats Freyden and Tiny Dancer, and spending time with my husband and daughter. Sorry, no pics available for all that at this time.
Oh, I had forgotten about your taking Latin also, La Dawn - last year I found a Latin version of the Ramayana! Pretty incredible! Here is a link to the Latin Ramayana online: Ramayana id est carmen epicum de Ramae rebus gestis
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice introduction LD. Absolutely fits you perfectly.
ReplyDeleteHi LaDawn. I like that you put so much detail in your favorite places post. I only picked one place but sometimes there is just no way to choose only one amazing lace in the world. I have never been to Italy or England but they both seem beautiful. I will have to put them on my future travels list.
