I’m alive!
How did two months fly by since my last post? I guess I’ve been busy. I’m living, loving, learning and occasionally day dreaming. Less macbook, more world, more social, more sunshine. The last two months went a little like this…
- 2 refreshing weeks working in Turkey
- 3 evening walks to Pop Eye’s Turtle-side Balik Ekmek (fish sandwiches) Boat
- 4 nights on a gullet cruise through turquoise waters in the Mediterranean Sea
- 1 anxious week awaiting Serena’s recovery following a rocky fall, involving brain surgery, and a praying family making their way from 16,835 kilometers away.
- 3-4ish nights in London. (A late last night at Zoo Bar watching the World Cup finals in a bar of Argentinians, followed by a 4am taxi to Gatwick Airport)
- 2 long, peaceful runs in Regent’s Park
- 9 intensive days of French immersion in Antibes, France. Oui oui!
- 2 1/2 sunny days lazing on rocky beaches in the French Riviera, dipping in the bluest water in the world, la Cote d’Azur.
- 3 evenings of brilliant music-synched, choreographed fireworks in Antibes and Cannes
- 7 days in Nice with my high school bestie Lillian, staying with an ex ad-woman now bookstore owner in a beautiful baroque flat.
- 1 hilarious night of bad luck.
- 11 chocolatey days in Brussels, Brugge, Ghent, Klaaswaal, Leiden and Amsterdam with my Uni flat mate Marilee, 10 years after we met.
- A solid 2 months tasting local cuisines, 1 mini mousse cake, 2 packs of Tutku cookies, 3 crepes, 4 Liege waffles, 5 gelatos, 6 Belgian beers (in one day), 7 stroopwaffles, 8 dozen chocolates, and 9 macarons…
- 1452 photos, which I’m eager to share!.. As soon as I’ve straightened, touched-up, titled and captioned each one… (thank you OCD)
