marvelous

I soaked it all in, reached the Trevi Fountain, grabbed my favorite pistachio gelato and looked at the marvelous views.

My mom's dad got Alzheimer's and in the last few years of his life, everything uh to him was just marvelous.

Might not remember your name, but he'd look at you and smile and his eyes would light up and say that you're marvelous.

But Carpentier called his style something else: lo real maravilloso, the marvelous real, and it had one big difference: the elements that might seem “magical” to non-Latin American readers are pulled straight from Afro-Haitian culture and folklore.
