Formula 1 my painting

This painting (1x1meters) I made a few years back and with the season in full throttle I thought I would share it!  Watching F1 gives me the ultimate sunday feeling. Guess it is because my father used to watch it on sunday.

When I am in Italy the GP of Monaco is held that weekend. Just the thought of it being an hour away makes me excited about it. It is just sad that the tickets are expensive and well Monaco is a difficult city to get into on a normal day let alone during GP. I probably will go there a few days later to see the fresh painted striping and smell the rubber.

Total internet fail

There I was in Italy, with all my stories... No internet.. Coming home I just could not wait to update my blog and.... again no internet connection! How frustrating. Now the problem is solved but the stories have drifted to the back ground..

Italy, again a vacation never to forget. The unusual lifestyle, which I love. The climate and the friendly people. Having fun with old people how do not speak a word of english and this is no problem, with hand and feet communicating is fun too!

Coming back to the Netherlands the feeling that haunts me is homesickness.. I want to go back! It is cold and in bed I have pulled three blankets upto my nose. Brrr!

Climate is changing, we have had no summer, just fall from june until now and I hate it!

The stories from Italy will pass in the next days or weeks so don't worry! Here are some pictures for you to start wondering about! ;)

Going to Italy

It has been a while. Busy with my writing and had little time to spare for my blog. After all this work I deserved a vacation. Last night I took the drive. 14 hours of driving through beautiful landscapes.Germany, Switserland and finally Italy. While summer in Holland has been rainy, when I drove through the Gottart tunnel, weather changed. And when I came out the tunnel, it was summer.

Today I am taking it slow but I got a day to Monaco planned, I will share with you and off course enjoying the typical Italian pleasures. Pasta, capuccino, Latte Machiato, Pizza and the late night shopping in town.

I am already having a blast and I just got here, it is my second visit this year and it almost feels like a second home, just love the Italian mentality!

Even when it is cloudy in the morning, Sun shines in the afternoon. The view is extraordinary!


So for now, see you soon.

Bongiorno!
