• reading on the old leather couch in our canal apartment, sunlight streaming in and listening to piano music Alexandra Strelisky
• eating cacio e pepe with a glass of local Riesling in the courtyard of the Church of St. James in Brno
• swimming at Chryssi during my lunch break, eating a PB&J in the water
• Christmas mornings as a kid with my family, eating opera fudge and cookies for breakfast and opening presents on the living...
