High hills having a break

It was a busy day today. I was walking from one place to another, working hard... Decided then to give my feet a break - as you can see...

Beautiful day...

London today: sunny, hot and magical...

A dream comming true...

Cupcakes from Taste of London...

More on Taste....

Tasting everything....

The evening yesterday was a special one. I went - for the first time - to the Taste of London event. I was feeling as a child in a playground: high quality food gathered in the unique (and my favourite place) Regent's Park.

Only there I had the chance to go to amazing restaurants in London within two hours. I went to Mango Tree (three times), Theo Randall, Odette's (twice) and Le Gravoche. How unbelievable it was... Great food + good value for money = great experience.

Taste of London is taking place till tomorrow. If you want to know more about, go to http://www.tastefestivals.com/london/

SIM cards...

... In a vending machine.

When I went to Japan in 2005 , I saw noddles and ice cream vending machines and I was completely stunned. Four years later, "walking down the street", look what we stumbled across: a SIM card one.

Another day we saw an ice cream vending machine at the supermarket but never a noddles one. What a pity....

The Island

The Island is a book that I highly recommend. Written by Victoria Hilsop http://www.victoriahislop.com/island.html, this is a book that touches our hearts deeply. It made me cry a lot - I need to confess - but also gave me the chance to reflect on my parents and grandparents' life before having me. As summer is arriving and you might take some days off, go to a bookstore and buy this book.

I am reading The Return now, Victoria's second book. As soon as I finish it, will share my thoughts with you....

Sorryy.....

Didn't take the pictures I promissed and it is raining and cold again..... Sorryyyyy!!!!
