The 26th Autumn Leaf

A photographic journal of my 26th year

Lucy Rip

“You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.” These words by Robin Williams are the inspiration for this blog. Since I found that quote I have been on a quest to find the ridiculous madness in life - the kind that makes you laugh long and hard at its absurdity. I've decided to share my gems of discovery here. A candle loses nothing by lighting other candles and I suspect madness works in much the same way.

A bit about me... I'm a twenty something, living in South Africa. In my spare time I embark on ambitious house decorating projects, bake cookies with my Russel Hobbs cookie maker and hack my way around the occasional golf course. On a more serious note - I write for a digimag called illumin8. Visit www.illumin8.co.za for details or email "subscribe" to illumin8ezine@gmail.com. Its FREE!

The scene of the most expensive meal we've ever had. My glass of champagne
cost 14Euro – roughly R140! The next night we ate at McDonald's!

We stopped in Assisi for lunch. It's a stunning medieval town made famous
by St Francis (of Assisi – haha). There is a huge church (actually its two
churches built on top of each other) dedicated to him which we visited as
well.

We went to the colourful and picturesque island of Burano for lunch today.
It's one of the islands that make up Venice. (To give credit where it's
due this photo was taken by Johan and not me. Not technically allowed for
'my' visual diary but I'm the boss and I say 'Who cares?')

This pic is from the gothic Cathedral in Milan which we toured in time to
see the sun streaming through a pin prick of a hole in the ceiling.

A lunch stop at the Autogrill (garage on the side of the highway) raised
my appreciation for how seriously Italians take food!
