Welcome to the 2d international cocktail party meme: Drinks ‘Round the World, hosted by Lifecruiser Travel Blog & Travel Experta the 1st every month.
How suitable this drink are, right now. You see, this is a drink I had at the bar at Lauters at our summer paradise island Fårö last year. I will not tell you what it is in it, simply because I don’t remember! *giggles*
I do remember though that tomorrow, Thursday 2 July, we’re going to Fårö for 4 weeks!!!! I’m in the middle of the packing. The summer don’t really start until we’re going there.
Yes, we will have internet connection there, but if it’s hot weather, we’ll mostly be at Sweden’s best beaches playing with our toes in the warm sand…. or the Baltic Sea…. ah….
This is all about having fun together, so you can just show us a photo or write something - it’s up to you. If you’re making your drink while writing, drinking while commenting: even better….
Leave a link to your drink post in the comments, so we all can come over and have a sip!
Be sure to mingle - and please be aware of the fact that we have different time zones, so be sure to check back later too.
When we were in Majorca in the beginning of May, we also visited the two adorable mountain towns Deia & Valldemossa at the northwest coast. We love doors & windows, so for us it was like going through the door to heaven!
Deia is a truly picturesque little town up in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain, which we fell in love with at first sight. It’s said to host many artists, painters and other celebrities. It’s also there the world famous La Residencia Hotel is, owned by Richard Branson once upon time.
Even Valldemossa has some celebrities, Michael Douglas own a house nearby and can be spotted in Valldemossa from time to time. Otherwise it’s known since Frederic Chopin and his lover, the writer George Sand lived there.
So did we see any celebrity? We’re not sure. We did see a very beautiful woman drive by in a cab in Deia, followed by a car filming her driving on the roads there, so we guess that had to be someone famous - or soon to become famous.
I’ll not say much more about those places, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves - even though photos never can show how it was to experience it live.
Those doors have seen many people coming and going. If they only could tell us their history…
Saturday afternoon the 27th of June we went to one of Stockholms most visited parks: Rålambshovsparken where Casa Peru Suecia had arranged a festival.
The festival were called Inti Raymi - The sun festival: “Everybody joined under the same sun”. This was the first time for this festival and such a multicultural performance which we never have seen before in Stockholm!
There were songs and dancing from all over South America including a very special cultural integration performance with the inka and dancing to the sun gods honor - among many other scenes.
Sitting there in this very Swedish park seeing this cultural event so far from our country did feel a bit unreal, but also very, very interesting!
It also gave me visions of South America and especially the Andes mountains. Suddenly this park scene felt not beautiful enough for these scenes.
It’s great that this cultural exchange between our countries has started and we all want to see this festival become an annual event.
