A taste of autumn in Dublin

I was back in the dirty old town for five days. I met my friends, went to my favorite places, visited the Knitting and Stitching Show , got dripping wet, then a sore throat and a cold, and ate some delicious carrot cake. I loved being there again.

An old book

I love Eastern European music, so I was extremely happy when our friends from Antikvariat Mingus in Prague gave me this book. It's an old Czech book about Romanian folk songs, showing a selection of folk music scores with lyrics both in Czech and Romanian...

A Swiss moment

In the latest posts I got very excited talking about Freiburg and I forgot to mention that before we arrived to Freiburg we spent a few hours in Basel, Switzerland. Here are some pictures: This is one of the moving objects in the very eccentric Jean Tinguely's...
