it's less than a week

till we will head for our holidays. I was worried about Milou, he started to be too quite and needing too much sleep for his usual behaviours. So I brought him to the vet and now he's since a few days on antibiotica and some "fermenti lattici" tabs, it's always incredible to see, how fast a dog can feel better and run around like crazy after the right medication. If it would only be so fast with us. It can be. Depending non how we live. For example helping us with a Shiatsu treatment, an external help to get back in harmony in our bodies. I'm very happy that I have the possibility to do my formation to become a Shiatsu therapist. It's a gift. The 4th level is a totally new beginning of something I've already knew. But now Mr. Masunaga comes in to play and what this man had to tell and what he wrote about our meridian system is just amazing.

I will write once in a while during my holidays to let you know what's going on and how interesting - or less - the voyage is.

Have a great day!

good news

It's nice and warm again, and just the right time to get a cold. Not only my mom who is in holidays on an island here in Italy, but like every one around me including myself. How can you possibly dress the right way (means warm and cozy) if we have 28°C degrees? No way! Anyway, this means as well, the sun came back, one can see allover funny, colored spots in vineyards - which means people are harvesting!

We where on a extended virtual shopping tour, try to make desicions for our new home we will move in. But frankly, before you don't live in a house, you don't know what matches. Particularly if it is a very old house, very tuscan made with "cotto", wooden beams and stones. Rustic. It will be fun to find all the furniture and colours to put in there.

Guys, feel free to leave comments, ask questions or whatever.

cari saluti!

ask Christina - frag Chris

Do you have questions about wine and in particular Chianti Classico? Something around your stay in Florence (where to eat and what to do or where to shop)? Here's the perfect spot to ask your question. If I know the answer, I will tell it to you.


Hast du Fragen rund um den Wein und speziell Chianti Classico? Oder du hast Fragen rund um deine Florenzreise (Essen, Trinken, shoppen)? Hier ist der perfekte Ort diese zu stellen. Wenn ich die Antwort weiss, werde ich sie sagen.

Bad weather, holidays and something exciting

It's real bad weather, it's cooler, it's raining and some vineyards had to stop there "vendemmia" - harvest - due to the rain. Hopefully the sun comes back as I'm really eager to know, how this years wine will be. Which I will know anyway after my holidays.

I spent some intense days to put the whole itinerary through France, Spain and Portugal together. Which means my eyes where blurry and I had a hell of a headache.... As we go by car and we do a voyage just to travel wich takes us 21 days... it's quite an intense journey. But we never where in Andalusia or the southern part of Portugal, nor the northern part of Spain "Galicia".

Where it was very hard to find a hotel which allows dogs. As Milou, my personal assistant and beloved family dog will join us.

That's him, having fun last year at a short trip to the tuscan coast. I don't tell you now how he smelled... but dog owners may know how it is... some dead fishes hanging around the beach, dog owner doesn't notice, but dog does....

Well the exciting thing is def. that I fullfilled the test to do now my 4th level to be a future Shiatsu therapist. But here in Italy one have to pay attention about how you use this words. I will be - once I did all the levels and get the diploma in my hands - a "Operatrice Shiatsu" in Switzerland (my home land) where I could work with the same diploma I would be a "Shiatsu therapist". Here the word "therapist" is only for medics and paramedics. It's as often a strange world... at the very end we are learning things like that to give some inputs to people to heal. But hey, I'm looking forward to the next two weekends, then I will go into new adventures with the flow of Meridians.

Wish you a perfect start into a lovely week!
