This part of the world is made up of old brick buildings and open, rolling hills. The red poppies swaying in the breeze. Water lilies holding steadfast to the murky bottoms of ponds. Chapels of grandeur and modest, hidden sanctuaries in caves. There is great strength found in every detail of this country, leaving you with a feeling that you, too, could live here forever. That even when your days are numbered, you'll know your memory will live on forever as your story is whispered in the gardens and shouted from bell towers.
