Figure Skating Halloween Costumes

My country: Italy!

live abroad for the past 5 years, but few seem not. I noticed yesterday returning by train from Milan to Zurich talking to two women who were traveling with me, both comic with the same name and both live in Switzerland with her boyfriend. I reported back to the time when I spent all weekend on the trains and possible bridges between Italy and Switzerland to meet my then boyfriend (aka Lombard) lazy that he preferred that I join him in Switzerland, in fact it was also more convenient time since I shared a house with a sister and we had complete privacy.
Since then many things have changed, no trains, are always the Cisalpine equal and swaying gondolas always mad and I feel less strange every time I arrive in Zurich and Swiss German feel, or better say I feel more at home in Switzerland and Italy. Italy is my land, I love her, I know its flaws and appreciate its virtues: the climate, first of all, it's always hotter than in Switzerland as though these days it rained and it rained!
Just today we celebrate Italy, its unity under one flag, those beautiful green, white and red that make us sing the song very often only during sporting events. I remember, however, when children study the Renaissance and when the teachers of elementary and his companions went in front of the monument of our small country to sing the anthem, learned in weeks of preparation, not understanding at all the words we sang. We laughed at all ' helmet of Scipio, who was that Scipio anthem? Boh never understood! Despite this we pride ourselves in our white apron with pink ribbons for girls and blue for boys, for the occasion ironed and spotless white .. this week was colored smudge of ink, etc. chocolate stains. That day, no, we were all perfect, even now when I see a group of children on television with their flags ready to repeat the anthem I get emotional because there's all that .. we represent a people made up of many people with different ideas sometimes but a single and united people: Italian!

bloggiste thank all who have given me an award, but I appreciate very much prefer not to post and not return. Virtually gift the prize to all those I read and I read!

How Do I Not Be Awkward Around The Guy I Like

Cows ... muuu

I never talked about the cows, the chocolate even tell the truth, but it is now understood that I go crazy. In particular I love that milk, milk the cows! (Ok agree there is goat milk, coconut, chocolate, ass etc. .. but I understand that you face with that of cow or not?)
For people like me who grew up with a mother who has lived until she married into a farm with farming (farm or for those who lived outside New York), the cow has always been my favorite animal, rather one of the first animals I've ever seen, apart from the mosquitoes (ah those are not insects) that are low in sell a kg in the summer season, of course, the mosquitoes would not call an animal that you miss indeed ..
Cows in my area, except in rare cases, the typical black and white Friesian (also called Dutch Friesian). Those big beautiful cows you see everywhere, in short, the cow par excellence. This photo here.

My uncle is an expert in the field and from a young age I enjoyed listening to his explanations on cows, that is so passionate in their honeymoon did not give the occasion to go and see the cows American (family legend?) and just may take part in beauty contests for cows (not a joke and there are very serious! ).
When I arrived in Switzerland I knew that I would have seen the other (more experienced uncle), here are brown and in fact much more active than those of the lower valley. Below is a copy in order to show in Switzerland.

Mind you, it is that cows do gymnastics Swiss and Italian no, let's just say the Frisian are put where they are comfortable .. .. Swiss cows move much more.
In Switzerland there are three breeds of cattle but the best known is the Brown Swiss (ie the Brown), what you see in all the cards on the Swiss and has a big face and a mica tonnage laugh.

Like Friesian milk is produced, the milk! Nearly 5 tons of milk a year, if it is a good year. Were selected for the Swiss because unlike other breeds are very strong, especially in the cold, rain in short, to weather in general. I challenge you are always out, never mind the cows of his uncle who took refuge in the barn when it rains.
Another feature of the cows are here cowbells. Nearly all the cows from pasture and they have one hell of a noise, among other things, the movement of the cow just creates a repetitive effect after 5 minutes of play or sleep or do pull silly. The size of the bell increases with the size of the animal and then sometimes you find cows with bells by Guinness World Records. I always ask but the torticollis is the cow in question?
continuing to put so I suppose not, but who knows maybe one day we will put together a mo 'syndicate and will be moving around with slogans such as: stop the bells, metteteveli you who are ridiculous and weigh as well!


The photo comes from this Swiss cow site ... for those who wish, in the vein of fun, buy a bell;)

Custom Mcfarlane Baseball

Wappen: lions in the canton of Thurgau (Thurgau)

I'm going to talk about wappen, or coats of arms of Swiss cantons and we are 26 .. street, in summary we have seen seven so far so if I'm not mistaken we still have nineteen, eighteen removing that we are discussing today.
Bello coat of arms is not it? it draws a lot of arms and noble family, namely the county of Kyburg (the coat of arms is almost the same, changing only the colors of the town of Winterthur in the canton of Zurich). The emblem of this family represented the original two golden lions on a black background (this is called the eleventh century!), later were modified in 1800 and chose the colors green and white for freedom for the innocent (but do not know what to translate from German Unschuld).
The canton Thurgau Thurgau or is on the border with Germany, and in particular with one of the most beautiful areas in Switzerland, in my view, the region of Lake Constance, also known as Bodensee, a sea of \u200b\u200bwater.
The lake forms the border between southern Switzerland, Germany and Austria to the north to the south-east. The funny thing is that if you take a ship that goes around the lake in less than an hour moving from Germany, Switzerland and Austria in one go!
From the perspective of the canton is a natural spectacle, from the point of view of language as also being so close to Germany and Austria, the Swiss to keep us here to voice their dialect, the dialect that I have discovered is also present in the maps of the region. We are currently debating whether to go back and change the names as the Swiss German umlaut has too many to pronounce, a facial paralysis threatens to tell all and every municipality also gave his version of the name;)
Here I make a digression on why the use of dialect in the Swiss cantons, especially the border with Germany and here we go back to World War II. Many times we forget what it was like in those days to be German and not wanting to be identified with the Germans, so in turn did the easy association = Nazi Germany. It is not so and it was not so but you know the story is made by the winners not the losers! The Alemannic, the language from which part of the Swiss dialect, is a language even more ancient of modern German, is used in other dialects of Germany. As time has changed both for internal migration to Switzerland itself (the French and Italian) and for the migration of other peoples, the Germans and Austrians in the first place. It is a complex dialect, sometimes I can not understand properly, but degrades only guess what people say, just enough to move to 20 km and have accents, words change. But in the end I thought the same thing does not happen in Italy? I just think to my beautiful london, I move about 60 km south of Pavia and Piacenza and I feel I am in the Piacenza with those lovely open vowels, a little 'higher and I find myself feeling the dialect of the valleys of Sondrio and Varese. True Italian (the hoch italienisch say here) is widespread in Lombardy, the dialect now we hear only the elderly in the mouth (sometimes not even them, often feels more in Milan Neapolitan / Roman / etc Puglia . that in Milan) and young people in the country, but only for a laugh .. In southern Italy is a bit 'different, the Neapolitan is a language in some areas of Naples, sometimes I just feel a certain foreign .. everyone knows (?) speak Italian but the language of the heart, the language that makes us express emotions with their families, which makes us remember where we came from is the dialect in Italy, pace the league that he understood but used as a means to divide rather than unite.

Can Iron Gym Break Door Frame

Women .. women

's greetings to the women I made them, I spoke of mimosa .. I have left? ah you wanted to talk to sisters.
Sometimes it's nice to deal with another woman in a home that is not the mother or her friend, someone like you who lived through the same experiences and that always brings you back down to earth when needed and comforts you and makes you. . whenever you need it.
Today, as often happens, we compared via mail, the only way I can hear it as it is worse than a top manager, not the bill ever, is still around or better to say my bad times Swiss Italians fit into his schedule (see Milan).
Theme of the day: the experiences and the differences between older sister (me) and younger sister (her), reproached me that I ruined the career of a dancer, you just a career!
a child just because our mother enrolled me in dance school and since then I was not already own the classic Princess (sister of words) after 2, maybe 3 months, I planted there .. second unidentified sources (mamma!) me I always ache stomach every time I go to class .. mah memory invalid;)
or I should say that my mother was a repeat offender, he has tried with the plan, or it was me because even with the hole in the water .. I gather you have also struck down a career as a pianist at the sister?!
Probably you are right, the older sister (also applies to the brothers of course) if you are positive experiences that are made to repeat the latter usually negative if you save.
said this beautiful dance etc. but not all the girls are taken, and I want to dispel the myth that the girls on the right foot and lean as nails are perfect for dance .. I was skinny as a rail, but also graced with the desire and perseverance ; of even then a sloth. The
sciura said Eva was right: the dance s'perda time, I went to Mass and Mei ..
and this would have ended any conversation between sisters.

Acostic Poem For Republicans

sisters

I know today is the feast of women, there are those who celebrate and those who do not. Here in Switzerland it is not heard or at least I do not see around mimosa, I presume because it's too cold here for the mimosas. Once I asked a colleague why there were mimosas around looked at me weird, did not understand what it was a mimosa. In fact, the mimosa (Acacia dealbata ) is a custom Italian, the rest of Europe do not use this flower to celebrate on March 8. As I have always made fun flower, is a beautiful bright yellow but it stinks as hell .. I know there will be someone who likes the smell (smell for me) to this plan but I just do not. Instead
much appreciate a flower that I found in New Zealand and could become a beautiful flower in my opinion for the Women's Day. He has an unpronounceable name .. Pohutukawa flower and is the symbol of Christmas in this country, eh there at Christmas it is hot and then flourished different plants including roses ....
Okay .. not yellow but red is a beautiful flower and puts as much fun, no?
Ah Good Women's Day to all!

What Is The Standard Residential Hallway Width

Flowers and Horses and Snow

Weekend devoted to horses and the snow, just the order .. the first horses and then the snow.
This week I was back skating rink at my favorite one on the hill in Zurich, they 'had found an ad in a horse race on the ice for Saturday. Horses on ice? The thing I was curious and accomplice of her husband's passion for horses are gone. We arrived as usual, it was almost finished all but a few horse, Rossli in Switzerland (in German horse Pferd ) was still there .. they were trigger-happy, horses similpony .. I'm not an expert in horse breeding. .. who went on the track made ride-on (the ice was made rough) with enviable grace and posture, along with their mistresses. It is because they were almost all young girls.



Sunday however, we are back in the canton of St. Gallen, in the ski resort for skiing Pizol .. I skied very little despite the snow and the weather was ideal, powdery snow, ice and sun away from the show. I let the photos speak.

How Much Does A Cupcake Cake Cost At Kroger

Wappen: Uri with the bull ring ..! Wappen

The canton of Uri was one of my favorite coats, say my favorite .. the bull with a ring on his nose, makes me mad, who say they are strange, I know!
always reminds me that wiki is one of the four forest cantons, others will get there sooner or later I suspect, also known in German Waldstatt . It is located in the mountains if it was not because I always see the emblem before crossing the Gotthard I do not even notice it passing through to stay there. The canton is in fact the very center of the above Swiss canton Ticino.
The emblem is a bull, you ask why? Well maybe I will not ask but I will explain the same .. you think that the name Uri is derived from Old German, I suppose that everyone here call Alemanno that is merely the base from which drew "inspiration" the Swiss dialect, which means wild bull.
The canton is famous for the legend / history, is still under discussion at the time, said that the famous William Tell was born and lived in the town of Bürglen, in the canton of Uri (attached to the St. Gotthard to be precise). The country's and I invite you to visit, everything reminds Wilhelm Tell William Tell or as they call them. The statue below is located in the town of Altdorf where the hero does his business.


Per le foto e le info ringrazio come al solito wiki ; )

Does Eating Before Cholesterol Test

: St.Gallen St. Gallen


Il finesettimana mi ha portato a visitare una ridente località termale in questo cantone: Bad Ragaz.
Analizziamo prima il wappen: sempre wiki ci racconta che il verde dello stemma richiama la libertà mentre il simbolo altro non è che il fascio littorio romanico che in questo caso sta a significare l'autorità giuridica. Il canton St.Gallen racchiude delle piccole perle, in particolare una delle regioni della svizzera che preferisco: Heidiland!! La regione di Heidi, dal paese dove si dice Joanna Spyri abbia preso ispirazione dell'orfanella for the character, well known to all, thanks to Japanese cartoons.
The landscape is beautiful and the spa of Bad Ragaz worth a visit. We do not come often Heidiland only if at the Gotthard tunnel we already know to find the queue and we aim to avoid the alternative route to the San Bernardino. The first time we went there I told myself that I had to return because the scenery around Lake Walen are magnificent.
This time we wanted to ski and relax, pity the weather was not the best so we opted for a nice walk around, Bad Ragaz is very touristy and has a beautiful park with an adjoining camp and summer must be a paradise, and a pond with different ducks. Among them was one of my favorites .. the Mandarin duck!
Here it is:
