Freeway, highway or motorway

Last summer, since early June to late September, I had been hosting some Anglo-Saxon people, who mainly came from Florida (US), Northern Ireland, England, Canada and Australia. They were coming here in my town for one or two days, as they would boarding the cruise ships at the Civitavecchia's port cruise terminal.

Civitavecchia is ranking as the 2nd busiest cruise port in the Mediterranean Sea, as most tourists who embark on a cruise in the Mediterranean come here to reach the docks for cruise ships.

Speaking with foreign tourists gave me the opportunity to learn that some words are different in American English, British English and Australian English. I have heard that some British English words come from French roots, while American English has occasionally replaced more traditional English words with their Spanish counterparts. For example one of my guests, Deanna Linney from Melburne, explained that the three words "freeway" (American English), "highway" (Australian English) and "motorway" (British English) have the same meaning in the three different Anglo-Saxon countries.

I speak once again about olive trees, which I've already mentioned in my previous post. The following photo shows the soft path through those  typical trees of the Medirreanean area where I sometimes go running/walking.  The olive trees in the photo are more than 150 years old.

Last week I enjoyed a beautiful rainbow while I was walking through the park.

The rainbow also stretched over the children playground. 

Rainy weather may sometimes shows such a beautiful optical phenomenon.
