Mediterranean Style

Hello, dear friends. It's funny how I don't even move now when there is a tremor in Peru. When we first got here I used to rush outside until it was over. There was a tremor about 5 minutes ago, but I've got so used to them, I just go on with whatever I was doing (preparing this post in this case) while counting how long it lasts - 17 seconds this time. I've been told I have to have a backpack ready in case there is a major earthquake. Sounds scary. Hope I don't have to use it.

Ok, so we are off to Spain today to visit a rustic home on the island of Majorca, overlooking the fields below and The Mediterranean Sea in the horizon. Not many photographs of the interiors, I'm afraid. These will have to do.

The Guest Wing in Denmark

A beautiful grey Sunday, here in Peru. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday too. And we are off to the North of Copenhagen to visit this former royal summer palace. A couple live in the guest wing now, and have preserved its original features.


This bench is from the 1800s and was designed by German-Austrian Michael Thonet. The Danish Empire style table dates from the 1700s.




The antique tea cups are used every day.


On this window shade there is an image of the palace's main building as it was in the 1700s.


Original 1700s pine floors.


An antique shaving mirror stands on a small table in one of the halls.
A beautiful Sunday to you, my friends!

Short and Sweet

Are you kidding me?? Where are the rest?! That's what I thought when I saw these three photographs. Only three :(
I scolded myself right there: be grateful Kifus that you can enjoy these three pics. Use your imagination (as SpongeBob would say) for the rest.
Ah well, a short tour today I'm afraid.
Short and sweet.







By the way, I forgot to tell you this house belongs to Johanna Karsten and is located in Finland.
