What shape do dreams have?


Hi to eveybody! And many sorry about my lack of comments on your blogs rececently but I have been veeeeery busy ... There has been something which has completely caught my attention....


I am sure you can guess what I mean... I went to The Netherlands!! And that was something I really have been dreaming about hundreds of times from when I  got acquainted with Greetje through her blog 


Amsterdam is a really beautiful city, but I have to confess that I only had eyes for  Greetje!


She is wonderful indeed ( I am not only referring  to her physical aspect ) and did so much to make my staying there the most comfortable and enjoyable!


We walked in the city,  had a lot of great cappuccino breaks ( we two are very fond of it! ), chatted as we were old friends, and she was so kind ! ( on my part I can't tell how sorry I was when I realized I was not  able to take good photos  of her with her camera!!)


We did some shopping together ( isn't that what women are born for??   :-) 


and I met a very special person :
Ron, her husband, whose hospitality and  friendly smile I won't forget!
(  despite the rain, he also arranged for me a wonderful travel in the canals on his boat!! )


We visited a delightful museum dedicated to bags,
and, at last, we focused our attention on Dutch design ( and we bought a new pair of sunglasses because that was  the one we two extremely needed!   :-)


Just a  few things of life are as precious as friendship!


Greetje promised she will come to Turin soon, so...let's stay in tune girls!!
