Dear Friends,

It has been a wonderful year filled with excitement and joy! I visited several new places that had been on my dream destinations list for a long, long time. With my family and friends I visited Paris, Provence, French Riviera, Florence, Rome and Venice. Whereas in all of these places we saw beautiful art, magnificent buildings and structures that survives hundreds or even thousands of years, I couldn't help but think about all the people who created that art many centuries ago so that today we can come and enjoy this magnificent legacy. In all those places I looked at people who live there today and saw their pride for having the mandate of their ancestors to preserve and make accessible this priceless art for me and you.
In this holiday season I am raising my glass to all the beautiful places on Earth that came down to us despite all the wars, and destruction, and cataclysms that happened in those places in history, and to all the people who live in those places today because they make sure beauty lives on! What is life without it?!!
Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year to all!

My favorite Christmas ornaments.

I love my Christmas tree! All the glistening and sparkling ornaments make it look absolutely magic. With Tchaikovsky music streaming all day long, it's easy to believe these ornaments have a life of their own (when nobody's looking).

The pooch is waiting for his Christmas gift!

I am afraid to leave cookies and milk for Santa on the mantel because my pooch will think it's for him!

Ah, this is a cool place to contemplate in Vienna

When traveling, I always try to find time to think in quiet about places and people I came across and how they impacted me.

Thanks for the kind words. I need to update the crazy products atlas, as I have found so many more, including an advert for bread we found in a Budapest magazine that had a fly crawling on one of the rolls :).
