Back home


My husband laughs at me because I have to have (!) home cooked food, especially after day of traveling which often means sandwiches and sweets... The way I express my needs leaves no room for negotiation which is what he finds funny...he is obviously more flexible *blink*

More family time


This time was Vs aunt who we spent a day with. She is passionate about her job and curious by nature so V and her talk a lot work stuff since they are both in technical field. We share the passion for traveling and art so most of the time we were exchanging stories and tips. It is always interesting to talk to someone who travels to get to know the people and the culture. It was actually from her I got my first Amin Maalouf book, then I read them all and fell in love with the Orient.
