Friendship

Quality, not quantity

April 29, 2010

The older we get, the more we need the people we knew when we were young. It’s 2:30 AM and we’ve just finished with the dishes from tonight’s dinner with friends.  Lots of wine, picadas and pizza.  Wow, it is so nice to be able to socialize with a few familiar faces.  Sometimes, this adventurous […]

A gift of giving

Dubrovnik, fashion modeling, Madonna and beautiful Montenegro

May 13, 2009

And we’re back. From another insane weekend of turbo travel. Exhausted, happy, and a little more worldly. This time it was a romantic weekend with my Cynthia. Best friend, almost-lover, rock, shield, love. We found cheap flights into Dubrovnik from London. And then somehow, through a friend of a friend of a friend, we found […]

Mallorca Top 10

April 11, 2009

Latin mixes in the clubs. Imagine Lady Ga Ga’s Poker Face mixed with Latin beats and you can understand why we were out dancing until 5.30am every single night. It doesn’t matter the venue. If the music is good, the night can stretch for hours. And that’s exactly what happened at Moon during our first […]

Back from Mallorca

April 6, 2009

COMPLETELY destroyed from a weekend of celebrating Maria’s birthday in Palma, Spain. Updates later. When I recover from feeling like death.
