August Catch Up: Copenhagen

August has gone by like a flash! This month started with travel, a wedding, family & friends... The second half has involved much organizing, decluttering and planning for my return to work. If my home is in order, then my mind, body and heart will be ready to embrace the busy season to come.

COPENHAGEN
We stayed at an airbnb with the whole familia. This is a sunrise view from our bedroom window and a lovely rooftop across from us.

Vera (Lim's cousin) & Simon's lovely wedding.

Copenhagen

En route to Copenhagen for a wedding, and then a stop over in London to visit with family and friends. This will be the last of my 2014-2105 travel adventures. It's been a remarkable year of art & travel & so many other good things. I am so grateful.

Go to my facebook page to join me on my travels. I'll be back in a couple of weeks!

Santa Fe!

Spontaneity took over and my friend, Soheila, and I booked a three day trip to Santa Fe!  Our itch to go to NM was caused by an amazing and generous (she actually met us for coffee!!!) artist who recently moved from Mexico to Santa Fe.  Her name is Gennine and you can follow her facebook and instagram here (beware, you may find yourself traveling soon).

 Did you know that Santa Fe's altitude is about 7,00 feet above sea level? Well, I found out about three days before we were meant to travel. Thankfully, the only effects were a little shortness of breath and and tiredness on the first day (it's important to stay hydrated and take it easy until you get acclimated).

The cloudy, 75˚ weather was a welcome change from NYC's steady 90˚s. The architecture, food, markets, art, people, ..., were so inspiring. We stayed in the historic district and there was so much to see, and do, and eat, that we never made it outside of this area. We fell in love with Santa Fe.

I'll be posting some museum pics soon :)
