I like Seattle, but it seems like it is cloudy too often to make it a finalist for me to live there. I do like the area where we are staying, Belltown. The best thing in the neighborhood is Seattle Glassblowing. I got to spend 2 days there creating bowls, plates and cups. Here are Read More …
Spring Break is almost here. We will be visiting two “new” countries. They were “founded” only two years apart. Their shared border goes through a sea. We get to drive on the lowest road in the world. The only color that they share on their flags is white. One of the Indiana Jones movies and Read More …
Do you believe that there is such a thing as ‘love at first sight?’ If not, I am here to tell you that it exists. When we were in Murren I saw the love of my life. She is three years old, and she is the cutest bulldog in the world. Since we had been Read More …
If I had to live on a desert island with only one food, it would be fondue. Bread is not the best thing to eat fondue with. I wish that there were apples to dip with the bread. All over Switzerland, the portions were huge. In Mürren, the bonus was that I got to eat Read More …
When we were in Shanghai, we learned about Portuguese egg tarts. We were at a restaurant in our hotel, and for dessert, we had them, and we fell in love. We went back two or three times just for the egg tarts. Since they are called Portuguese egg tarts, we decided to go to Portugal Read More …
San Sebastián has a beautiful beach. It was windy and rainy for most of the time we were there so we had to find a way to occupy ourselves. This usually means eating. Almost every place we went, even a sushi bar, had tapas. In San Sebastián, they are called Pintxos. I dislike tapas. They Read More …
I suppose we are a little behind schedule – just getting videos up from 6 weeks ago. We must be having a little too much fun.

I was not looking forward to Naples. I had heard about how it was a dangerous city. It was lunch time, and we were sick of eating on the ship. Then we decided to go to lunch at the place that originated pizza margherita, called Brandi. Sadly, it was closed, and we were not happy. Read More …
Today, I learned how to make Italian food from a chef named Lory. For the appetizer, we made ravioli stuffed with eggplant. Making the pasta and the filling were easy, but, trying to keep the filling inside of the pasta was really hard. Mine kept on exploding. For the side, we made a vegetable dish Read More …
Today, I had the best gelato ever. It was in Valletta, Malta, at a store called Amorino. I tried the dark chocolate, the vanilla, and the salted caramel. All of them were stellar, but Mom’s speculoos flavored ice cream stole the show. If I could go back to Amorino, I would get the dark chocolate, Read More …
