Sardinia #6 - Hotel Le Dune

Our hotel is located on the top of a cliff overlooking "isola dei gabbiani" (Island of the seagulls). The view from the hotel "terrazza" is a real treat even when there are storm clouds on the horizon, as there were on our last day...
The beach arching into the peninsula is a haven for all windsurf and kitesurf enthusiasts. Carlo got in some good hours on the boar..

Sardinia #5 - Agritourism

Dinner at the Agritoursim was a really neat experience, especially since the view was amazing and some very cute animals were greeting us upon arrival..

Sardinia #4 - SelfPortraits

Ok, the every-present sel-portraits have to find their place somewhere...:-)
Along with a few other silly shots...

Sardinia #3 - Dinners

Since we stayed in a hotel and didn't have a kitchen to cook for ourselves we sampled the local cuisine of many local restaurants and "agritourisms". It was a feast and may good times to be had...:-)

Sardinia #2 -Wilderness

The vegetation shows similarities to California and Texas. (No wonder I feel at home here!) Yuccas, bougainvillias (have to check spelling later) canna grasses, cactus, olive trees and the ever-present oleander in all colors never let your eye tire.

Colors that inspire..

While Carlo was away basking in the sicilian sun this past weekend - I used some spare time to bask in another form of vibrance... colors and paint!

The colors on our balcony are so vibrant - I just had to get some of them on canvas! :-)

All abloom!

Finally a few pics of our balcony, where I am currently cultivating somewhat of a small jungle of plants! :-)

The weather is hot and sunny at the moment, yet almost every evening we have these really strong thunderstorms that cool off everything!

I hope they will continue while we are on our vacation.

Suprise Party!

This shot was taken on June 12th at the surprise party for Carlo's boss Yiannis...whose wife had organized a wonderful dinner for 15 people at their favorite greek restaurant. It was deeelish!

This is the only picture we have of the evening...but better one than none! :-)

Grill-party at the Isar

Our good friend Elke is moving away to Washington D.C. to pursue her MBA soon...
She celebrated her friends and good times with a grill-party get-together on the banks of the Isar river, which flows right through the city of Munich. There are many wooded areas along the river bed with many opportunities for a BBQ! :-)
We will miss her south-american energy and joyful character!
