A Pinay in Europe

Tonight is that one night of the year when we watch football. It’s the Euro 2008 Final and Germany vs Spain are two teams close to our hearts. France is our favorite of course but they were kicked out even on the first game. In few minutes, one country will be celebrating to the rapture, and as I type, Spain stands the chance since they already scored a point earlier.

Anyway, have you ever experienced preparing for a holiday not knowing exactly where your feet will take you after the first destination. That’s exactly what we are undergoing right now. Our first destination - Budapest - is already written in stone as I have already a dental appointment to meet. We may stay there for a week, two weeks, it depends on the follow-on treatment, but as to which country we are proceeding to afterwards is a big question mark. Greece is way too hot in July and with the heatwave we experienced last year, I begged H, and he agrees with me, that we have to postpone the trip till September when the weather gets cooler.

Well, wherever that is, we are driving off on Thursday, the car will be packed to the brim with boxes of wine, clothes and things. Water and electricity in the house will all be turned off as we might be away for two months. And who knows, after those 2 months, we might just go straight to where H would be next assigned to. Which country? We really have no clue!

Anyway, let me share with you my first sunflower of the year - my pride and my joy, so far the biggest size ever, at 24cm in diameter!

it’s way way taller than me so i had to tilt the camera at almost 80degree angle!
