• 19.01.05 Let it snow

  Last night it finally snowed in Milano for the first time in the 2004/2005 winter. Usually it does not snow and it will probably be the last time this season…

  

• 17.01.05 Clark Terry

  

  Yesterday we went to see the trumpeter Clark Terry at the Blue Note Milano.
  He was fantastic with his trumpet and flugelhorn, but it was really inspiring when he actually sang!
  Also David Glasser’s alto saxophone was quite impressive.

• 15.01.05 Vals

  In the middle of the Swiss Alps, 4:30 hours by car from Milano, you’ll find one of Peter Zumthor’s most famous work: Vals Therme. Last week we spend two wonderful and relaxing days switching from, saunas, to 32C pool, to 32C with rose scent, to 42C and red walls, to 36C open-air (-2C and snowed) pool. Not to mention the fine architecture, concept, details, materials, colours and textures, it is a magical place to stimulate all 5 senses, while enjoying the pleasure of a hot water during the winter.
