Christmas Markets in Berlin

Berlin is magic.
Christmas is everywhere.
There were a lot of Christmas markets, and a lot of decorations around the streets.
Mr and I visited:
- Alexander Platz Christmas Markets (in Neptunbrunnen)
- GendarmenMarket (you have to pay 1 euro)
They were full of markets that sold great things, so many and so good Christmas decorations, good food (potatoes, brattwurst, Mr loves them, ....), and so much cold!!!!
Well I didn't enjoyed them too much because of cold.
But, if you visit this city in Christmas time....you have to visit Christmas markets!!

 

First day in Berlin

And here we are!
Berlin!!!!
Mr and I booked this flight in August, and we were very thrilled about this journey!
We stayed at Ibis Style Hotel, it was near Alexander Platz, so we were close enough to the "Mitte".
The first day we were in Berlin, we walked a lot: the weather forecast said that on Saturday and Sunday it would have rained, so we decided to walked along Berlin on Friday discovering this city by feet.
Here's what we saw the first day:

Berliner Fernsehturm

The Berliner Dom

Karl and Engels

The Ampelmann!

The Brandenburger Tor

Holocaust-Mahnmal

So in the next days I'm going to write something more about what we saw!
But for now, I have to go to bed!
Have a great time my dear friends! :)

It's Christmas time!

And the happiest month of the year is begun.
In the morning, while I drive to work, I listen to Christmas songs.
I have to think about Christmas gifts for my family and friends.
In the evening I try to drink a cup of tea, and my favourite now is the "Christmas taste", apple and cinnamon.
It's the first Christmas Mr and I will spend together, in the same house.
Sometimes I'm too busy for thinking about all I have now.
Yesterday evening Mr and I had an homemade pizza made by one of my best friends and her husband. Nothing special, just the 4 of us, but it really was a great night.
Today, Mr and I are going to bring some Christmas in our home.
Christmas tree.
All the lights around the house.
Christmas decorations.
Christmas songs.
Oh, it will be a great Sunday.
And now, until Mr wakes up, I bake some muffins, for our breakfasts :)
Have a great Sunday, my friends.

What I see strolling along Berlin

Hello!!!!!
Well, well, December! Welcome, my dear, last month of a great year!
So, I have some exciting news, I'm gonna share them with you very soon....
But! First of all, Mr and I visited Berlin last week!
I can tell you that Berlin is a beautiful great city.
I liked it, it's not ordinary, it's different from London, Amsterdam, Paris....but I liked it. I probably liked a lot its history, it's so interesting, and, well, it makes me think a lot of human beings and our nature.
By the way, I saw some things that to me, were characteristic of this big city:

1) there were a looot of advertising, fasten with scotch tape, around the pole of the traffic lights.

 

 2) in the most part of the houses there are some wall paintings

---and he walks!! :)

3) people have courtains but they take them open, so you can watch inside ;)

4) they have great feeling with Christmas :)

5) they have happy and funny baskets along the streets

Browsing Veneto: Bassano del Grappa

I'm drinking a cup of tea, and I'm listening to Belle and Sebastien's songs (I'm in love with this one, to be honest). Tomorrow will be Friday, and I cannot wait for a weekend to come.
They say winter will arrive in a few days....and I'm glad to say 'hello' to him! I really want to watch a movie under a warm blanket next to my Mr.
There's a lot of things I would tell you, but I don't know why, I can't, because everything seems stupid to me, meaningless. Is it fear? I don't know.

So, I put here some photos of Bassano del Grappa.
It's a small town next to where I live.
It has an historic bridge, that is called "Ponte degli Alpini", and I think it's woooonderful.

Inside a  shop there were the sculpture of two lovers that were kissing each other.
The light illuminated the scene. I love this photo

And this is Bassano del Grappa seen and photographed from the new bridge

I wish you a very very happy weekend my friends! :)

On cloud nine

Life lately

Hi my dear friends!

In these last days I tried to write down a post, I don't know how many times.
Something not very happy is happened to the nephew of a friend of mine.
When bad things happened, you change your prospective in a lot of things. Everything is not more "important", you start think that family, and friends are the only things that matters in this world. Sometimes friends become family, and so, if they feel bad you feel bad too.
I don't have so many friends, but the one I have are the right ones. And the best one.

Once in the week I have my lunch break with my sister.
I feel fine and comfortable with her. We talk about our men, our lives, our houses. And yes, it's great to know that, in this world, exixts a person that shares so many things with me.

I have bought the dvd of Littel Women. When I was a child, I watched this movie during Christmas holidays.... :)

Thumbs up for Skype!!! with it I can talk for the whole day with my Mr, and with my colleagues. Do you know what's the best part of it? I laugh. A lot. But people around me don't know why I laugh. :)

I wanna go to the mountains! I really need to spend a day walking through nature, breathing good air, and watching wonderful landscapes.

So, I wish you a wonderful week, so, tomorrow will be Wednesday, quite good ;)

Photo took in Brugge in Fbruary this year

Have a great week!

Photo taken in our holiday in Amsterdam

I was writing a post about our holidays, but I found some happy things that I wanna share with you:

- This made me think a lot: nature is a theme I've always loved, I think I don't do enough for it. I would love to live my life and start living more connected to Nature, like living in the mountains, next to Nature, Mother Nature
- I love artists: I love people who creates. For a little time I came back to my childhood, looking at Elisa Ferro's creations
- This week we're probably gonna to the cinema to watch this
- I have a pumpkin in my house...I have to try something like these
- It's time to plant these!!

Have a very very nice week my friends!!
