Watching the sunset today by the river with stoli

... where the sun and water meet to form the perfect horizon and there was a bridge over the creek where the trees opened up to see the horizon. We sat over the edge and watched the sunset; time stopped and for that infinite second, the biggest feeling of joy and sadness was nowhere to be found. If I could, I would soak up every drop of that moment, that feeling and I would send it from my heart to yours... Because you need to experience that kind of happiness...

I never loved another person the way I loved myself
- Mae West

My dreams were all my own;
I accounted for them to nobody;
They were my refuge when annoyed-
My dearest pleasure when free.
- Mary Shelley ( Frankenstin)

Trastevere- The heart of Rome

TRASTEVERE-While Rome entices with its extraordinary monuments, Trastevere, one of its many distinct neighborhoods, captures the traveler's heart. Trastevere, which translates literally to "across the Tiber," was once considered the outskirts of Rome. Allowed to develop its own flavor and now part of il centro storico, it's the perfect place to glimpse a bit of the old world while still enjoying the lifestyle of today's Romans.

Often described as Bohemian, homes bedecked with flower boxes and clinging ivy intertwine with coffee bars, restaurants, and one-of-a-kind boutiques. Buildings in terracotta, maize, and wine cast a glow, like a daylong sunset. From the cobblestone streets to the overhanging laundry lines, senses are pleasantly awakened with every step.

I will be here on June 30th, 2011

Florence here I come!

Santa Croce

Teatro Del Sale.
Larger-than-life chef Fabio Picchi is one of Florence's living treasures. Having colonised almost an entire block near the Mercato Sant'Ambrogio with his trio of the Cibrèo restaurant, trattoria and cafe, he went on to open one of the city's most unique institutions in 2002, the eccentric Teatro del Sale . Occupying an old theatre, this members-only club (tourists welcome, annual membership fee €5) is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, culminating at 9.30pm in a live performance of drama, music or comedy arranged by artistic director Maria Cassi, a famous Florentine actress (and Picchi's wife). Dinners are hectic affairs – you grab a chair, serve yourself water, wine and antipasti and then wait for Picchi to yell out what's just about to be served before queuing at the glass hatch for your primo and secondo. Dessert and coffee are laid out buffet-style just prior to the performance. Come during the day to join the club and make a reservation for that evening, and then enjoy a coffee and sugar-dusted ciambella (doughnut ring) at charming Café Cibrèo , in the street opposite.
