Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I'd like to visit Atlanta one day.<br />@Barbara - I think we have to find the right kind of challenges for ourselves. Spreading our wings and taking the plunge is a good thing but that doesn't mean we have to get the South Pole either.<br />@Nicolette - Thanks so much for these kind words!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-51547507387868152432011-02-14T19:21:22.889-08:002011-02-14T19:21:22.889-08:00Yummy looking fritters and cake, perfect for a pos...Yummy looking fritters and cake, perfect for a post-museum meal.

I so enjoy visiting you here.<br /><br />You certainly don't strike me as a coward....start small and work up. Go with a more adventurous friend. That's the answer.

It's wonderful to be able to preserve artifacts from periods we missed. And who doesn't love zucchini fritters! Have you have cabbage ones!

Bises!<br />@Manon - Ah, I should have known you would recognise it. As you've already been there and love the place, I think the Chatwin book is definitely for you. It's quite unusual and some bits are more interesting than others but definitely a favourite of mine. I'd no idea you were in Berlin back in 2000 and I wish I'd seen the city back then too before Prenzel Berg took over and Mitte became too clean. I recall you're younger than me so you can't be old ;-)<br />@Lecia - I feel exactly the same about your stunning blog which I look at almost every morning.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-63490359016454517402011-02-12T20:11:59.700-08:002011-02-12T20:11:59.700-08:00I always enjoy seeing a bit of your world...thank ...I always enjoy seeing a bit of your world...thank you for sharing. xoLeciawphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387890066375679646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-51013973518362745912011-02-12T11:46:52.843-08:002011-02-12T11:46:52.843-08:00Oh man, cheesecake! :)

After a couple of hours in such museums, I'm happy to return to the modern age. 100 posts feels good but a little unreal too.<br />@Rosa - The museum is a real jewel and I hope to return there quite soon. <br />@P.K - Thanks a lot. The fitters are really delicious and so easy to make.<br />@Gracienne - Merci beaucoup Gracienne. Le titre vient d'un poème par Yeats que j'ai trouvé en feuilletant mon gros livre de poésie (j'ai souvent du mal à trouver des titres). Cette nuit à l'Alhambra était tellement magique. Je regrette un peu de ne pas avoir eu un appareil photo mais parfois c'est mieux de savourer de tels moments sans ce besoin de tout enregistrer.<br />Inès G - Yes, I feel exactly that way too and it felt so special discovering this place at last.<br />@Denise - The truth is many of these big adventures can be thrilling but so much can go wrong and there must also be moments of boredom so I'd choose the magic of a sunset or a walk in a new place any day. You're so right that reading books and blogs is a great way to broaden our experience.<br />@Sasa - Oh wow, my contribution to the world seems pretty small but the blog has made a big difference for me, if only for coming into contact with people like you.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-35308772972038276522011-02-11T23:44:23.821-08:002011-02-11T23:44:23.821-08:00100 posts, congratulations!

I'm sure we learn from them all. A beautiful sunset just a few blocks from home, back country camping in a tent, or walking beside the Seine on a Sunday -- I love them all. Your museum visit, and all of the adventures you share with us here, always transport me. It's nice to get to experience your adventures as well as my own.Denise | Chez Danissehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418226690328176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-2835602940632043642011-02-11T09:00:35.047-08:002011-02-11T09:00:35.047-08:00Yes, the Pergammon is an amazing museum!
