My Year in Review

January has greeted me with a fast pace. We came back from our Christmas and New Year vacation in Austria and I feel I have boarded an express train which has allowed me very few stops so far. It is more than time for my year in review. Time to slow down the pace, get off the train and look back at 2017. It was a remarkable year.

A year of finally feeling properly settled down in Iran which…

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Frank Sinatra is singing a Merry Christmas on my laptop and I’m feeling emotional and not that merry. It’s almost Christmas and I’m in beautiful Austria, land of my husband, the best Christmas markets and an almost guaranteed white Christmas. This year though the only snow in sight is from the ice rink but one can still hope. My Christmas rambling today is going to be a…

Stranded at the Belvedere

Stranded at the Belvedere

I knew I was stranded at the Belvedere. From great heat to sudden rain, what to do? Stay a while longer with Klimt or venture outside and get wet?

I had come to one of my favourite museums in Vienna, the Belvedere. Built in the early 18th century, it is the work of the famous baroque architect Lucas von Hildebrandt and served as the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy who died in 1736. It…
