2021. Roma Holidays. Piazza Venezia.

Venice square. The greatest impression on Marsel was made by the monument in Piazza Venezia. I will share the historical facts and history of the creation of the square and the monument later. And now I will tell you about one more action that we have become participants and witnesses of. On our last day, we decided to try our luck again and break into the Colosseum. But our attempt was in vain. I still don't understand why there is a long line at the box office if tickets are sold only via the Internet. We were told that all tickets for the coming days have already been sold. And we set off on a new exploration of the streets of Rome and our feet led us: just to the Piazza Venezia, to the already beloved monument of Marseille in honour of the first king of unified Italy, Victor Emmanuel I. It was Saturday evening and popular festivities were held in Piazza Venezia. It seemed that all of Rome had gathered here. I really liked it, I could quietly observe people, that is, do my favou

Marsel. Our granddaughter Marsel is already 14 years old and she has turned from a little fairy into an adult girl. I have already told to you that on our first day we explored Rome along the route laid by Marsel. It seems to me that this is a wonderful ability to pave your way. And then, she became our wonderful guide and led us throughout the eternal city according to the program of her iPhone. How wonderful it is to have such children who do their best, for their children and for their parents, so that at the time of a huge planetary crisis,  we were able to break out of their homes and plunge into the fairy tale of travel, especially since only two hours of summer separates us from this fairy tale! Thanks to Sylvia and Kostya for your unforgettable gift. Марсель. Нашей внучке уже исполнилось 14 лет и она превратилась из маленькой феи во взрослую девушку. Я уже Вам говорила о том, что наш первый день мы исследовали Рим маршрутом, проложенным Марсель. Мне кажется, что это чудесно- ум

The very first thing on the dusty road that caught my eye were huge termite mounds and lonely acacia trees. The earth was scorched by the sun and from time to time the landscape was decorated with colorful, bright birds, perched on the bare branches of a tree like New Year's lights. We drove along the road and talked about the animals inhabiting this valley. And I have already told you about them before. National parks occupy 30 percent of Tanzania's territory. Serengeti Park is one of the most famous and oldest national parks not only in Africa, but throughout the world. It was founded in Tanzania in 1951, when this country was still a British colony. The word "Serengeti" in translation means "endless plains" or, more precisely, comes from the Masai word "siringet" - "elongated area". The ecosys
