One of the beautiful things about living in Italy has been the opportunity to go to so many places, including places that were never on my list (e.g., Basel). Another of these places is Copenhagen. I could not tell you how Copenhagen became a place that we decided to visit. It was just one of …
My posts on my whirlwind trip around Italy are still to come, but it’s taking forever! I saw A LOT! We traveled to Rome, Venice, Florence, Siena, Pisa, and San Gimignano. I took close to 1000 pictures, and I’m not exaggerating. So even though chronologically the trip to Rome happened before Venice, and Basel happened …
When we found out we were moving to Italy, Hubby and I started a list of places we wanted to visit while we were here. My list includes places with personal connections (e.g., Berlin to see my cousin) and touristy places that I haven’t seen yet (e.g., Rome). Hubby’s list primarily revolves around soccer (e.g., …
My sister and brother-in-law visited for the last ten days, and we’ve been on a whirlwind tour of Italy (I have lots of pictures and stories to share!). They left this morning and I immediately hopped a plane to meet Hubby in Switzerland. He’s been working in the Netherlands for the last few days. The …
A few weeks ago, Hubby and I were invited out to dinner by his co-worker, Andrea. Andrea is one of the nicest and most helpful people we have met in Italy. He also happens to be one of the funniest – though I don’t think he always understands why we find him so funny. I …
Check out my new ride! Isn’t she pretty? We are heading out on our maiden voyage to go to a new grocery store. I think she needs a name. Any suggestions?
We are back in Italy, and actually spending time in our apartment! Since moving in, we’ve spent more nights away than we’ve been home. Weird. The upside of being home and in our apartment is that I FINALLY get to cook! I love cooking, so being at the mercy of a restaurant menu for the …
Aside from my love of history, the real reason that Berlin made the top of my list of places to travel is that my super adorable cousin lives there, and I wanted to visit her. She just opened up a shop – Cookies and Cream Berlin – that I had been following on Facebook and …
Hubby had to work in the Netherlands last week, so I went with him. Because I could. I still had to work (more on that later), but I also had some free time so I took the time to see the one place in Holland that I wanted to go to but hadn’t seen – …
I was in sixth grade when the Berlin Wall came down. I remember a small group project on “the fall of Communism,” and I remember that I was assigned to Germany. I don’t remember much about my own presentation except that we included a lot of images from the Newsweek magazine that I brought in …
