Accept what comes to you totally and completely so that you can appreciate and learn from it, then let it go. While we have life, surprises can occur at any time, giving way to what is known as opportunity, especially when you least expect it, so there are situations that become decisive in our existence. Personally, I never thought being on another continent far away from Latin America, the day was a visit Brindisi, exactly 11 years ago, I came to this city by twist of fate, who found in it with me today in this life that is has given me as a second chance, Since I already had my first test, as it was in a coma 9 days and habérseme given the opportunity to return to this planet, while for the doctors who attended to me a miracle, right, I never thought I shortly after my return flirting with death in other dimensions I had the opportunity to go to Italy, although I confess that my interest was in Spain, specifically Barcelona's captivating, a fact that could not be performed by unavailability of passage for the time I had proposed, and thus arrive at Brindisi the first time, be decisive that visit, because it made me into a new home with someone I met in that city for the first time we met, at least in this dimension probably already knew our souls and we played again share these physical forms given to us to resolve some outstanding debts at other times did not solve, that we all bring called Karma.

Indeed, already in those eleven years, are four times I've returned to Brindisi, returning just a few days ago, I was a good time for the city to whom I had the opportunity to learn about and enjoy its scenery, tranquility, its sea, food, fruits, and above all its joy, peace, security in transit through its cobblestone streets and most of all, go in late to their seawall, visited quaint, clean, with lots of tranquility that really makes will enjoy the moment, quite the contrary of the country where I live, that moment passes by a lot of insecurity, violence, uncertainty, wave of kidnappings, as is also the beautiful Venezuela.

Brindisi's history is closely related to both the East and to direct flows from nearby Greece that have influenced the styles and traditions of these wonderful areas. Brindisi (Italian Provincia di Brindisi) is a province in the Apulia region in Italy. Its capital is the city of Brindisi.

However, Marcelo Fernando Castro describes it very well when he says that this quiet and beautiful city, is located well south of Italy on the Adriatic Sea coast and is characterized by its huge natural harbor that allows trade in the Mediterranean which of they were Phoenicians. It is actually a pre-Roman city and conquered by the empire in 267 BC, interested more than anything, precisely, its port that allowed him not only trade with the rest of the East but to control it.
