it's beautiful here

Monday, June 05, 2017

there are no words for here. there is language but it escapes us. there are some nameless emotions that we all know so well. they are caught in moments. a moment like this. a moment like no other and yet there will be other times you may feel similar to this moment. no moment will ever be with you twice. this. here. a breath. a feeling of being lucky and alive and lucky to be alive all at once.
(IT'S BEAUTIFUL HERE)





a weekend getaway in Italy

Monday, June 05, 2017










A beautiful hike* up to a backpackers (the most beautiful), where I was grateful for a shower (it's very humid here in summer). Dinner was out of this world. Polenta like I have never tasted before(!), with the most amazing (traditional to the Bergamo, Lombardy region) rich vegetable pasta and "wild pig" slow-cooked meat. Followed by the usual, COFFEE so small and potent they could be called shots! 

 It rained early morning and we woke up to a thunderstorm. Coffee was drunk out of bowls for breakfast accompanied by little slices of homemade jam tarts (obviously, homemade jam). We hiked back down well fed after another AMAZING lunch, lots of great Italian red wine and more great food. 

It was beautiful. And delicious.
