Back to blogging and back in Switzerland

It has been quite some time now that I have posted in my blog. I started writing as a Freelance writer in Yahoo Contributor Network and later Yahoo Voices and some other sites also. But I feel tired of writing according to other people's requirements.

So I am back to blogging.

And what a lot of travelling I have done during this gap!

I have been to Chicago and New York and the Niagara Falls. I have lived in the cozy Midwestern city of Saint Louis, Missouri. I have also lived in Puerto Rico, the enchanting Island of the Caribbean. I have come back to Switzerland, travelled to Austria, and spent my dream vacation in Greece.

And here I am sitting in a very cloudy day on my couch recollecting small details of my travels.

I would never forget the crazy roads of Puerto Rico, the beautiful Atlantic ocean, the beach walks at the Isla Verde beach,Carolina, view of the walled city of San Juan from the top of San Cristobel Castle or the exotic pirate drinks that we drank in coconut shells while watching the beautiful sunset in Rincon.





My tomatoes in my backyard garden in Evansville

Then suddenly emerges before my eyes the image of the very quite backyard of my house in Evansville, Indiana. All my tomatoes have ripened and the plants are about to lie down.The Oak and Maple trees are shedding their leaves as it is late Autumn. The lonely bench between the two maple trees is waiting for my little daughter and me to sit down and finish our snacks of yoghurt and fruits...while we watch the squirrels collecting all the nuts that they can before winter comes.



And how can I ever forget the city that felt so much like the home I desire? Saint Louis was the perfect combination of all that I loved about US living.

But while I am saying this, I am in the place that I have loved most. The Swiss Riviera, the twin towns of Montreux and Vevey is the place I can call home (beside my original home) as I have spent most part of my last 10 years here. Although, life here has changed over the years and I have been disillusioned quite a few times when I returned here this year, I still love to live here.

And I have just returned from the golden Greece of my dreams. It was really a dream vacation in the Mediterranean.

So here I am, toying with all the images in my mind and trying to decide where to begin....
