Yes, I am alive. And, I'm still writing... after a long respite. What can I tell you? This past month I had three visitors (Jeanne, Nathan & Masha) and am expecting two VIP guests in less than two weeks (mom and dad). I also just got back from a long weekend in Trieste, Italy, on the northern Adriatic coast. In addition to beer gardens, I have to say I love the cheap airlines flying all over Europe. SkyEurope carried me to Trieste in one hour for $125 roundtrip. You can't beat that.
Trieste is an Italian port town with a strong Austro-Hungarian flare. It was the perfect getaway - Italian seafood, sunshine and Adriatic, Roman ruins, and Maximilian's (Hapsburg) castle, Miramare, with amazing views of the sea. And, I went grocery shopping!! I returned to Prague with parmagianna and adiago cheeses, pumpkin and spinach gnocchi, wrinkled olives, and thick hot chocolate packages. Despite the fact not an ounce of Italian blood flows through my veins, I do share the Italians' passion for food. I can hardly wait to break out the pumpkin gnocchi!!! Don't you wish you were here?
