Looong week-end

Last week my week-end began on Thursday. A simple call from a sweet friend of mine, asking me if I wanted to go to concert the same night. Chico & the Gypsy were playing at the Gardens of Trauttmandorff Castle! We had a great night! Singing, dancing and laughing all the time, an amazing scenery was surrounding us all...

On Friday began the Matteotti Street Festival, a party with rock music and nice food to eat. We went there on Saturday and had some gorgeous chanterelles with dumplings and vegetables by Erwin's Pasta Fresca.
After that we enjoyed the dessert by Poehl, a tasty Sacher and I was in peace with the world!



The day after I got up early to meet my mum and a friend for a trip in the mountain. We went to Voeran, left the car at the parking place and went up to the station by walking. It took us nearly two hours, it's 900 m altitude difference, fortunately it was fresh and shady, so we could go up without suffering the heat. As we arrived, we rewarded ourselves with a big, sweet breakfast: coffee and self-made cakes...! Wow :)

What a gorgeous week-end!

We just had a spectacular week-end!
While some pharmacists were still strolling around with their black bags and their heads full of new information and knowledge, Asfaltart had its start with a funny parade in the heart of the city. Jugglers, musicians, jokers and artists of any kind walked up to Piazza della Rena to celebrate the beginning of one of the funniest and beloved events in Merano. The performances could be admired by the folks until midnight.
The day after - Saturday - the "Kurpromenade" was awaiting another event, many persons where looking forward to: the "Meraner Frauenlauf". A course for ladies only, a fair contest opened to all passionates who want to get the heebie-jeebies for the emotion to run among other 500 enthusiasts. "Pretty woman" and many lovely bio-specialties received the heroines after having reached the finish line. There was a lovely corporate feeling in the air...

On Sunday the street artists diligently amused their public till evening and another edition was finished again :)

And now, after a sunny, windy day I'm happy to recollect these impressions and feel lucky I could be here this week-end!
