Text messages from abroad

Nothing is worse than missing your sisters, but thanks to the iPhone app Viber these are the hard hitting texts I get from Richmond, Va.

Copenhagen, Denmark

In January Kim and I made a freezing trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. It was only about 4 days, but enough to see it all and fall in love with the Danish people, food, and well more food! Like I said, it was FREEZING! We got a a few bouts of fluffy white snow, which made the city a little bit more amazing. There was even a new princess born and we managed to see the changing of the guards who played the congratulations song at the palace. The best thing about Copenhagen would have to be the people, they were all so helpful and kind, living up to their lifestyle of being "cozy". 

Did you know Hans Christian Anderson is from Copenhagen? He wanted to start as a chorus singer, however ended that quickly and became their most famous writer of children's stories. Here's the little mermaid statue set in the outskirts of town. 

Here's hoping I'll get there in the summer to enjoy the city without clattering teeth!

ORLY?

I saw this over on the Time Out London website and thought that it was pretty cool. It's amazing to think about what goes on in this city and you have no idea. 

A little London love

Life doesn't suck when you're on your way home from work and you get to watch the sun come up over the beautiful tower bridge. Lately I've been feeling tethered to London, in a good sort of in love with this city kind of way.

Budapest, Hungary

I'm in the motherland of my great grandmother! I'm taking in the sites, history and of course the familiar foods I grew up having. Of course, the food we had at home was a version on the great Hungarian classics, still they don't compare to what I've eaten in this great city.

Oh Rome

(The Colosseum in Rome, Italy) 

It's official, I feel in love in Rome. Not with a hot Italian, but with the sun, the incredible architecture, and the wonderful Italian men working the the delis who fed me unbelievable fresh bread, meats and veg and even opened the bottle of wine for me! It was probably my favorite day of that trip. It still amazes me that these buildings and ruins still exists with a bustling city around them and not to mention many sun lounging cats, ha! The history is wonderful and the food, OH GOD THE FOOD! Jessica and I avoided the tourist traps of expensive and low quality pasta in the city and opted to find a little corner deli and get an assortment of food that was fresh and picnicked in front of ruins and on the spanish steps where we drank wine and enjoyed the feeling of the sun on our skin. After all we had just left Switzerland where is rained the entire time and was freezing. One of the deli men, who was quick to say he didn't speak english so I told him to pick, got so excited he kept feeding me samples of the fresh meats and bread and excitedly gave me possibly the best meal of my life. 

Rome, let's do this again! I'll even bring the wine this time!
