Alte Frau, New Life

Dateline: Somewhere in Tuscany

In a beautiful hotel with sketchy wifi

My family and I are traveling this during the Berlin schools’ autumn break.

Current mood: Need way more espresso, way less pasta and pinot.

Just now it took me two tries to type the word ‘pasta’ correctly. See above-mentioned pinot, and also I'm updating via my phone because the hotel wifi and my tablet don't like each other.

I'll have travel updates and more, next week.

But, for this week, I though you might enjoy some links to older stories from Alte Frau, New Life that you may not have seen the first go round.

Also - as usual - I'm linking some good reads, listens, and watches from Berlin and beyond.

Check them out.
