dreams of sushi

24 July 2012

hey friends, i hope you had a lovely weekend.

i have officially started the countdown for my vacation in portugal. and since i’m leaving in less than three weeks, all of a sudden i feel the urge to have long walks on the beach, do a lot of exercise and get a long lasting sun tan!

on the weekend, we watched the documentary jiro dreams of sushi – have you seen it? i love watching documentaries (and sushi!!). this one is about jiro ono, considered to be the world’s best sushi chef. it is beautifully done and gives you huge sushi cravings!

“Find a job that you love, take pride in your work, and always strive to learn and improve.”

Have you any documentaries to recommend? Would love to hear :)

i have a new addiction in provo – and it’s the cappuccino from lemon2go coffee.

i know you would think that living by the beach and in the heat of turks and caicos i would be addicted to rum punch or margaritas.

i seriously have to stop myself from stopping by for a cappuccino every day – the quality of the coffee is amazing (forty ninth parallel) and the cappuccino is perfectly prepared every-single-time.

they have other coffee options, like iced lattes and frapuccinos – check their facebook page for their daily inspiration.

the setting is gorgeous, they have, not only, the best cappuccino on island, but they also sell the most beautiful flowers. i love every time i come in, the shop is packed with flowers, candles and soaps, amongst other temptations – i want to buy them all!it’s my definitely my favorite coffee spot and oh so miss it when i’m off island!the shop is located on grace bay road, in front of salt mills, call them on 1 (649) 941-4487 or check their Facebook page and their website.

thanks to simone for graciously posing for the pictures :)

this weekend we had dinner at krave, a restaurant at grace bay club, by the estates, i had yet not tried. the setting is awesome, quiet and a bit more relaxed that their high end restaurant anacaona (and i still can’t believe i was able to resist this!).

we also watched the film che, it has two parts. it’s been a month since we’re back from havana, so we found it really interesting to learn more on cuban history.

did you see the second post on our trip to mexico? i’ll be posting the last one this week, so watch out.

wishing you all a happy week! oh, and i hope you like my new logo – thanks to sweet joanna from waterfall creative!

we had a quiet weekend – had plans to go out for dinner on friday but the weather was threatening rain. when it rains we never go out for dinner, it sounds like we are lazy, but it’s actually because there aren’t many restaurants with indoor seating!

and when we woke up on saturday we were out of power…island wide? yes, it is possible. out of power for the whole day, and finally got it back at nine in the evening, just in time to save all our food in the fridge. but we had a good day. with no power…no cooking, no light, no tv, no internet, no mails – it seems you have more time for yourself, to spend time with your thoughts, to tidy up, to talk and to read.

we went to the beach too, of course.

i do hope you had a great weekend and here’s to a good week ahead!
