Paella Feast.

Spain seems a distant memory – ok so it was only 6 months ago. During our stop in Spain, my Europe companions were on the hunt for delicious paella. We had paella at least once a day while we were in the country and NEVER did we get tired of it. Finding delectable paella was definitely a hit and miss but the experience was priceless!

My sis, S, recently organized a night at Brandy Creek Winery (Regional Victoria) for their paella feast. It was definitely a road trip but when we arrived the view was picturesque and the aroma was mouth watering. For a set price, entrée, paella, dessert and a drink was included. There were five different paella’s available, a mixture of meat, seafood and vegetables.

Good company, great food and memories of Spain – what a night!

Thanks for the pics N&LDC.

Venice

I was watching the news and a special on Venice was on where experts are predicting that the city will be underwater by the end of the century. I have had the pleasure to visit this beautiful city a few months ago. So many little alleyways to get lost in and picturesque buildings overlooking the canals. I’m heartbroken knowing that Venice will literally disappear. Those who have visited know what I mean, those who haven’t – you have less than a century to find out!

Fast Fact: Venice has around 150 canals connected by 409 bridges, and over 3000 alleyways on the 117 islands. Basically every time you see a bridge it is connecting two islands. WOW!

Have I convinced you yet?
