Almost Ready

Sono quasi quasi pronta per partire.
Ready to go back home.

In Europe.
In Italy.
with my family.
il freddo.
gli amici.
le citta`.
la neve.
una trattoria.
la polenta.
le cose buone ed autentiche.
le mie montagne.
l'olio d'oliva.
un po' di rumore.
le piazze.
la gente

Sono emozionata.

Bolsa Chica

Today I swam in the shiny ocean with my new 3/4 mm wetsuit.
We have been in front of Bolsa Chica beach State Park.
Empty and wild.
Rays from the sun.
Cold and fresh water.
Long foamy waves.
With the boogie board caching the waves.
Easier than the last time with the surf board.
A kitesurf and the wind around us.

My desk and the interior order

Finishing my paper.
In the spare time I play with the golf ball in the water that the Secret Santa brought to our lab.

New blogging rules

Through my blog I have been sharing my thoughts, my photos and my life here along the Pacific, on the other side of the Atlantic.
It is time to change.
Now (the majority of) you are on the other side of the Atlantic!
I am not saying I am becoming too American...
I am simply realizing that not all of you can appreciate the nuances of my Italian posts even if you are very intelligent and you can speak Chinese or French.

First rule: My California blog will be more written in English, which is the local-world language.

Another rule: Everyone who will visit me will be kindly requested to write a part of my blog. (This is an incentive to come!)

Last rule: Everyone who is active part of my life here in California can write a post.

Waiting for your brilliant minds.

My Birthday

I had many wonderful gifs.

A big storm with rain and wind. I felt winterish for one day.
A fun and crazy week end in San Diego with Caroline, Liz, Salar, Azad and Rob.
Good wine, spaghetti al pesto cooked by an Australian, many colors, tennis balls and photographs.

Now it is time to go swimming in the ocean.
