To be blatantly honest, I think the appeal of blogs/Instagram/Snapchat etc is to allow us all to be a tad voyeuristic and just get a sneak peek into the lives of people we don't know. Personally, I know that I've always been interested in the lives of expats abroad, hence my House Hunters International obsession. Everything seems like normal life but cooler and with more wine (ok, maybe I'm only talking about if you live in France or Italy here!). So instead of blabbing on, here's how my weekend went presented as a mini photostory.
Friday Night: dinner at an agriturismo with friends from Massi's soccer team, took minimal pictures but essentially we stayed there from 9pm until midnight and then rolled home.
A digestivo at the end of our meal because we literally could not breathe from all the food.
Saturday: this was a particularly unique weekend because one of my childhood friends (+ her work friend) from Alberta came to visit me and so we met up in Milan for shopping and eats!
Never paid attention to the flowering tree beside the Duomo until today.
Shameless tourist pic in front of the Duomo. (I swear PJ-inspired fashion is huge this season).
Hunting down the perfect afternoon espresso in the Brera district.
Shopping inside the most epic Zara store I've ever seen.
Missing: aperitivo on the 7th floor of La Rinascente.
Dinner at Paper Moon with Nicole Kidman.
Sunday: started off the morning with a run/hike up to this hilltop church in order to stave away the impending guilt from the 'pranzo della domenica' that was about to happen.
Enjoying the view (aka trying to catch my breath after making it to the top)!
Found some abandoned mimosa branches (the official flower of International Women's Day).
Made Massi carry them...
A quick jaunt through Bergamo to check out the Sunday antique market.
Saw a cute house on the way up to the Upper City.
Came back to Massi's parent's house to find freshly made pasta laid out on the table.
Sunday lunch spread: these are the antipasti so things to nibble on before the real thing starts!
