-La Basilica dei Frati Cappuccini: always wanted to take a shot of this blue domed church perched on top of a hill but Nikky's 135 lens never gave a clear enough shot even at closer points. but this one... i like it's reflection on the waters of the River Po.

-Snow. Frolick. Childish. Cool...

grazie ading! yah, I thought I'd better get it done. We've got to go to Reggio Emilia this week (you know, professional pilgrimage...)otherwise, i'd much rather stay home, do some more sewing, cooking and finish the book I started reading.

today, Papang drove us 2 hours away to Citadella di Alessandria. There's a very good Designer shopping outlet in there. worth the ride but I only bought a couple of items. it's always fun window shopping though...The view from here to there and back was snow-covered hills and planes through and through with the occassional pastel coloured Italian villas in the middle of it all - which was really quite an amazing experience for us both.

Hello joi and keng! how are you guys doin? anyway, thanks for the postcard-so how's Thailand? I'm thrilled to know more...We just recently discovered a new nearby thai restaurant here in our place-and I'm so into eating pad thai with beef!!!(gained five lbs already from eating too much take out from the place!) I'm guessing the pad thai you had there is way better than here...
take care always and keep on blogging!=)
