Let's go old school

Recently I have been listening to a lot of "old school" music, and I have realized that so much of it is forgotten these days. I hope these songs remind you of the really great music that has already been written. 

So It Goes- Billy Joel

Landslide- Fleetwood Mac

Your Song- Elton John

Parmesan Air

So last week, I went to this restaurant outside of Barcelona, Spain in this little town called Rose. Although it literally took, planes, automobiles, and boats to get there, the experience I had that night at dinner was unbelievable! 

The meal was over 50 courses! And even though not all of them tasted very good, they each were unique and a culinary masterpiece! The food was almost like science experiments,  and nothing tasted like what you thought it was going to taste like!

This was a giant cheese balloon!

This was rose petals filled with ham water!

This was a box of frozen air!!!!!!!!! Frozen air that was flavored like parmesan!

This one was crazy! It was caviar and cream. But what looked like caviar was actually cream i the shape and color of caviar, and the cream was actually pureed caviar!!

This was the chocolate box, the last course of the evening! Its size is already unbelievable but the most interesting part, was that none of them were the same, and none of them were really chocolate-y!

Overall it was a night that I will always remember and it was an experience I will never regret!

Although I don't know if I could sit through another meal like that for at least another year or so....

Venice's final surprise

On the last day that I was in Italy, a piano appeared in the main hall of the hotel I was staying at! When I saw it, I thought to myself wow! Would that be a beautiful moment, playing the piano, next to the grand canal in Venice? 

I quickly decided yes, and later that day when I knew that I would not disturb anyone I had to try it out and play a little something. It was a great experience!

I love how these pictures came out looking so mysterious and eerie! Yay iphone camera!

Forget traveling by car, let's go by boat!

One of the most interesting aspects of the city of Venice, is that people must travel by boats everywhere to get around, using the canals. Lucky for me, I love being on boats! I love the way it feels when the wind is blowing and the sound of the water is humming beneath me! Therefore, while in the city, my mom and I took a water taxi everywhere that was not in walking distance from our hotel. It was great to take a boat to dinner, and to be able to pull right up to the door of the restaurant where we were going to eat! Venice clearly is like no other city in the world.

Paciugo doesn't even come close

When I was in Venice last week, I was introduced to one of the best gelato stands I have ever been to. It was right on the water, next to the Church of the Jesuits, which has a beautiful Tiepolo ceiling. 

The gelato was such a refreshing and perfect finish to a wonderful day in Venice! I think that gelato could almost make anyone feel happier at any time! It is one of my favorite desserts and nothing is as special as authentic gelato in Italy!

Thought this was such a cute moment between these two friends that I had to capture it!

I was very excited!

Eating gelato isn't always pretty!

Lost in the Latin Quarter

Hey guys! So I have like 4 more posts to put online but Unfortunately my Internet is not working well in paris! But I promise I will post as soon as I can! I have spent the day eating macaroons, sightseeing, and shopping! A cool store that has a lot of vintage stuff, that I went to is called Kiliwatch. If you ever have a free afternoon and a lot of energy to sort through old bags, hats, and floral sundresses then you should definitely go there!
Ok right now I am off to eat sushi! Au revoir!
Et je vous aime!

Love Unconditionally!

Today I spent the day looking at art in the Venice Biennalle! Some of it was beautiful, some of it was not... but some of it was really fun!

this was me, standing behind a huge yellow screen

this is me, looking at all of the art!

This was probably the coolest room! it had a huge block of clay in the center that people were supposed to break pieces off from and then draw on the walls! I love interactive art!

So basically, my contribution, was an outline of my body. Then I drew a heart and colored it in. Above it I wrote: LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY!
