Finally found some European ham in the US. Andronico rocks.

Boring to death compared to the prior 2.

Convinced Remy to go see No Strings Attached... loved it :-)

I love Zara, and I love how cheap it is in Europe. I bought an awesome red top.

Wanted to learn more about TV advertising, but this book is just an endless list of definitions, with no insights at all.

My favorite baby clothing boutique in the South of France. I bought a Burberry dress for my goddaughter, she looks adorable in it.

Bought a very nice bracelet for Remy.

I went to Rome over the holidays so I had to see that movie (yeah, couldn't find a better excuse) and as expected it did suck but I love both actors, so what can I say...

Everything about this hotel is great, except the most important thing: the mattress. This was by far the firmest mattress I've seen, and sleeping on the floor was almost more enjoyable. They also had a small couch in the room, and I had to sleep on the couch for 4 nights. Add that to a bad jetlag, and you can imagine how full of energy I was in Rome.

This restaurant was unbelievable. What was also unbelievable was the the stomachache I got a couple of hours later. Maybe eating tomato rice + turkey with olive oil + pork with mustard sauce + pasta napolitana + polenta with gorgonzola + pizza wasn't such a good idea. And yes, they had a buffet, I didn't just order 10 different meals (I wouldn't put it past me though).

In order to track Remy's flight back to the US. Perfect for my total paranoia, thought it doesn't have a live flight map.

Amazing sea food restaurant in a tiny street of Rome. Super expensive, but worth it. I had the turbot with saffron and nuts (unbelievable) and Remy had the pasta with lobster. We got the chocolate dessert which is composed of a chocolate mousse, chocolate ice cream, a chocolate creme brulee, a chocolate brownie and a chocolate macaroon... That was chocolate heaven :-)
And the service is simply impeccable.

Tour of the Necropolis under the St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. You can see the tomb and the relics of St Peter, it's just unbelievable. Only 100 people are allowed in the necropolis every day so you need to get tickets well in advance. And of course, they don't have a nice online booking tool, so you need to email back and forth with the Ufficio Scavi to make sure you get on that tour. You can choose a tour in English - our guide was great. This is the highlight of our trip to Rome so far (only 2 more days left!).

After having our British Airways flight to London cancelled because of the snow, we had to find last minute tickets to Europe. We made it home on time for Xmas, but had to stop in Munich and Barcelona before arriving in France.

Their sushis are MASSIVE. Like BIG. Try the salmon skin roll if you like things that are very fishy (fishy as in "smells a lot like fish", not as in shady business).

I participated in one of those "buy gifts for underprivileged children for Xmas" campaigns, and I picked a kid who wanted a football helmet. I just wanted a real American gift because there is no chance I will ever offer a football helmet to anyone in my family (yes, we play soccer in Europe people). I thought it would be the easiest thing to find: I went to 5 different stores up and down the Peninsula and didn't find a single football helmet!!! I ended up having to offer a gift card instead, which is lame. Fail.

A lot of people from my family in France want gifts from US brands that they can't find in France... so Juicy Couture is my go-to place for holiday gifting. Bought my Mom a bag, and bought my cousins tracksuits.

A lot of people in my team couldn't believe that I had never watched that movie, so I had to check it out. It's an amazing movie, can't believe I missed it all those years, especially since I love Morgan Freeman, and love all the prison-related movies.

Loved it. Had to convince @remymiralles to watch it despite the subtitles but it was worth it.

Had to download that when I learnt that my flight to France got cancelled. This app told me that all the other flights were $9,000, so of course I don't like it.
