Refreshing kindness - La Nocciola Toscana

It was hot today here in Valencia. The hottest day of the summer so far. Do you know what makes heat better? Ice cream. Do you know what helps your soul feel better after maybe being cranky from the heat? Nice, kind people. If you are in Valencia's center of town, my favorite ice cream shop can offer you both. It's located at the corner between the street of the sea ("Calle del Mar") and the street of hazelnuts ("Calle Avellanas"). Which is honestly, a wonderful symbolism for the connection between flavor and refreshment that you can obtain from their ice creams. It also places it right by the center of cultural, touristic and traditional attractions in town. I tend to go for their lemon ice cream, but I honestly come back because the two women in charge of the shop are always so kind and they seem happy to see kids coming in for their treat, or adult families, like me and my mom (we've been by a good few times and they always seem so happy to see us). When I think of a food shop in the center of town in Valencia that can bring some happiness and light to our everyday lives, this is the one that comes to mind. So I highly recommend you visit.

International heart

When you look back into your life, what are the moments, the times, that make you smile? Which experiences changed you? Which moments can you pinpoint that developed you as a human, and are the catalyst of a big part of your growth? Happy memories after which you were never the same. They changed you so much that if you didn't have that, your life would be completely different and maybe you, as a person, would be as well. For me, some of those formative, life-changing times, were spent at the International Astronomical Youth Camp, the IAYC. The science was cool. I learned a lot about astronomy. But more than anything I learned to be fascinated by it. To look at the milky way, surrounded by other 50 people fascinated by the stars, and wonder what else was there but I couldn't see. Looking for long enough that more and more dots kept appearing. Seeing the night sky like I had never in my life seen it before. And learning about the concepts of science, which I have always loved.

Decades of friendship

Those that share our path in life. Those that we have chosen to keep around through the changes and the years passed. It's inspiring to see them remain someone we consider worth our time, worth our friendship, worth their space in our souls. With that in mind, I thought it could be refreshing for you too, to read the words of someone who seems to always want to live life remaining true to who he is, while always, always being kind to others. So you will forgive a more casual tone to this post, since we have known each other for about three decades. Hopefully, after reading his answers, your soul will feel lighter, and you will understand why we have chosen to keep each other around since we were kids. I chose to simply ask him four questions which answers I was curious myself to know, while knowing he was going to offer something authentic (he always does), and worth empowering our souls with. I have to say I have deeply enjoyed reading his answers myself, and I hope you will too. ...
