To z założenia blog złożony z minutek kradzionych morfeuszowi. Dzieci i J śpią, odsypiają jetlag i chorobę, a ja spac nie moge bo środek dnia wd mojego zegara, no i jak tu spać na skrawku lozka 5 cm wygięta w chińskie rz, zeby rozpalonemu L było wygodnie. Dzien przed wyjazdem M dostala gorączki i wymiotowała, a dzis w nocy L cały jak piecyczek. Pytanie, czy to wirus i czy to ten sam wirus? Gdy 19 lat temu leciałam pierwszy raz do sf, samolot był overbooked i nie dostałyśmy sie na pokład. Tym razem słyszeliśmy, jak obsługa naziemna pyta, czy wyładować juz nasze bagaże, w sumie na pokład weszliśmy jako jedni z ostatnich, bo z lotami United jest jakas komplikacja i boarding mozna dopiero przy samolocie dostać, a ten z internetu drukowany ewentualnie wymienić. Tez był overbooking, ... read more

Hello, my dear friends and family Where do I even start!?! Honestly, I spent every spare second of my summer thinking and planning for this trip. But what I didn't think about was how much I hate goodbyes! I don't think Madi and I have ever been so nice to each other for such an extended period of time! (minus the eyeliner + bus incident... sorry about that madz). It was nearly a week ago now that I spent my last sleepless night in New Zealand, packing my bags at 3am with my 5am flight looming ever closer. Tearful goodbyes behind me, I boarded my flight to Australia where I immediately proceeded to film a boring, 7 minute long video of us taking off in pitch darkness. Typical me really. Australia was a good time, with ... read more

Although this blog is for my time in Milan, the trip really began for me when I had to say goodbye to friends and family in the states. After my last day of work, August 8th, I flew to San Francisco to reunite with my best buds from high school, Ian and Jim (first picture). We always have a crazy time together, and this was no exception. Right at the end of the trip, as Jim was driving me to the airport and Ian began his drive back to Davis, we realized we were right behind Ian. At a red light Ian jumped out of his truck and threw a soccer ball into the car and said "You're taking this to Italy," (second picture) I decided to name the ball Prosper (for those who don't know, ... read more

Derniere journee complete a SF, car demain, on change d'hotel. J'ai loue une chambre dans un hotel pres de l'aeroport, a cause de mon vol qui est tot. Bref, s'il y avait des trucs qui restaient a faire, c'etait maintenant ou jamais. Donc, Fan est partie de son cote (son truc a faire etait une biere le soir), et moi, je ne pouvais pas partir sans me promener dans les montagnes!! Quand nous etions passee dans Castro hier, j'avais vu que c'etait magnifique, mais Fan ne voulait pas y aller, donc j'y suis allee aujourd'hui. A 9h, j'etais chez Tartine (boulangerie cool dont j'avais achete le livre de recettes), et je suis arretee au Ritual Coffee Roasters (LA maison de cafe de SF). Les 2 valaient vraiment le detour: une brioche sucre-orange et l'espresso etaient 'wow'. ... read more

Our last full day in this beautiful city, so even though we had a 'slight' hangover thought we should do all the photo shoots we hadn't accomplished yet, especially as we had just heard on the news that an area of California has had a cluster of earthquakes over the last 3 days, so a little worried SF might be next, so better photo it before it disappears !! So off we went - Lombard Street was our first visit, bit difficult to photograph the crookedest, windiest road in the world, even bloody harder to drive down, it was scary but not half as frightening as driving over a brow of a road and not being able to see the bottom !!! & asking 'Mr useless with a video' to record our effort was not the ... read more
