thanksgiving break

Finally here! I am staying at the Grand Beach Hotel on Collins Ave, just like last time. 

My friend does not arrive until tomorrow, so I have the room to myself for now. 

Got about 1 hour of  sun before it went away, so now I am relaxing in my room.

Probably headed out later, maybe do some shopping. 

AH, FINALLY BREAK!!

cozy

Spending the night with Harry Hole.

I've been reading this book for weeks, I hope to finish it before thanksgiving. There is no time or energy to read for fun. But I am making time!

Taking the night off from school, and reading for fun instead.

After a long week, it's nice to be able to cuddle up in bed with a book.

Tonight I have a hot date with Harry Hole, the character in Jo Nesbø's books. 

I have started reading in Norwegian, because it was scary how long it had been since I read in Norwegian.

Anyway, my Friday night is not super exciting, but I don't always need exciting. Besides, Harry Hole catching bad guys and solving murder mysteries is just the amount of exciting I need.

PS: Bedding is from Bed Bath and Beyond

Happy Weekend!

more e macine

Lunch at More e Macine. 

Of course forgot to take a picture of the food, but it was delicious. I had the ragu, as I almost always do.

And a glass of arneis. 

If you ever visit Piemonte, the Barolo area, go to La Morra and have a drink or some food at More e Macine. And tell Eto I say hi

heaven on earth

This is my favorite garden, maybe apart from my own at home. But my garden at home does not have a beautiful olive tree or the most wonderful people, Elena and Bruno Viberti.

The garden is part of a small hotel in La Morra, Corte Gondina. It is run by the Viberti family, and can most sincerely be recommended to anyone. Not only does it have a pool, wonderful food, idyllic rooms and wonderful service, it also has the most peaceful garden. 

Sitting here with my coffe and Jo Nesbø, life is perfect. 

Worth a visit. Maybe I'll see you there.
