Luckily, my brother is much easier to deal with ;-)<br />@Susan - Oh no, tornadoes, hope you stayed safe. Don't worry about not being up to date, I miss plenty of your posts which is a pity as they're all great.<br />@Denise - You're absolutely right that the story makes me laugh now. I regret the apple struden too but I guess I'll have to return to try it soo. As for the cakes in Italy, you're totally right that I indulged.<br />@Sasa - Yes, we can definitely go to Pomeranza and many great cafés round there. I'm sure you'll love it.<br />@Hila - Why thank you! I seem to attract those kinds of people unfortunately...<br />@Barbara - You're welcome anytime!<br />@Mary Laure - It's funny that you mention Brodsky because I'm dying to get my hands on a copy of that book. In Venice, I found his house and saw his grave on San Michele. What a genius!<br />@Magda - All these compliments! I'm very flattered. I was so amazed by those two women as well. somone was photographing them so maybe it was for a magazine shoot or something. My brother says it's just how he imagined the Germans to be!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-21768245148051653672010-11-02T10:08:09.208-07:002010-11-02T10:08:09.208-07:00Ohhh I love this post, maybe one of my favorites! ...Ohhh I love this post, maybe one of my favorites! What a great story, how can you still doubt that you are definitely a writer? What a great portrait of an elusive, unique character.<br /><br />And those photos... The two with the women having breakfast in front of the East Side Gallery are amazing. They struck me by their graphic qualities, their colors and movement, their symmetry, their life.Magdahttp://cequetulis.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-3779821476534299032010-11-01T16:52:05.843-07:002010-11-01T16:52:05.843-07:00I love the humor and tenderness in your story abou...I love the humor and tenderness in your story about the visitor... I usually LOVE having house guests (my South American heritage) but they have to be respectful of course and not flood the bathroom.<br /><br />I'd love to try the Japanese style crème brûlée; it certainly looks delicious. And lemon meringue pie, that's one of my favorite desserts in the world.<br /><br />I've never been to Venice. Sigh. I recommend you read Josef Brodsky's "Watermark", about Venice, if you haven't already. It's a small book, a big treasure.Mary-Laurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014386827410465480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-2010252163297212962010-11-01T10:04:09.111-07:002010-11-01T10:04:09.111-07:00Your house guest was a creep of the first order.

I loved the bit about the "overpowering mixture of strong body odour mixed with Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent"! I'm sure it wasn't very funny at the time, but it must be now, in retrospect. And too full for famous apple strudel? This is very sad news. I hope you made up for it with your "sharp lemon and crumbly pastry".

It's nearly 10.30 your time so perhaps you're asleep to get up early. For Venice. Ah. I was just working on something about la Serenissima. I look forward to your post(s) & also to catching up here & on the blogs you link to. I have been remiss.
