While taking the long way home along the coast from Rhode Island last weekend, we stopped at a car repair shop that was hiding all sorts of classic beauties. Among them was this MG and I instantly fell in love. Perfect shape, color, interior… A must-have weekender for when I grow up!

While at home in Budapest, we had the chance to go to Austria for a few days to snowboard in the Alps. We randomly picked out Kreischberg by Murau and even though the mountain looked rather humble from the bottom, after taking the lifts up to the very top (2118m) we were the ones humbled. The view was absolutely breathtaking, overlooking the mountains around us. We couldn’t help but stare at the panorama during our ride down the slope and remember how lucky we are to be able to experience such beauty.

Oranges

The secret to the best orange juice for one: 3 oranges mixed with one banana. Try it!

Being home for the holidays means so much goodness: frolicking in Budapest, catching the last of the Christmas Market, lots and lots of baking to do and of course, last but not least, having fresh squeezed orange juice with the family every morning.

Battery Park: Lady Liberty from afar.

Having a friend in town visiting for the first time gives any New Yorker the perfect opportunity to do all things tourists do, but we never make time for. So much fun walking around lower Manhattan with Gabi on this mild and sunny day!
