Ode to My Fashion

Hello everyone. Over the summer, I kept up our tradition and took the boys to Somone. This place has really become a staple for us. This time, we started out in a cosy little guesthouse - Havre de Paix and then moved to a proper hotel for our last few days ( review here ). True to form, we didn’t plan much. The boys, now at that “leave-me-alone” phase, mostly entertained themselves with mindless YouTube videos and gaming. They enjoyed the pool and dining out, while I relished some downtime, watching the Olympics on TV and diving into a few good books. "Le Havre de paix" Bed and Breakfast We ventured to a few new restaurants, starting with a beach shack right by the sea called Chez Atty The place had rave online reviews, but I admit, my first impression was a bit iffy. Still, the spot turned out to be a gem. We had our feet in the sand, watching the sun dip below the horizon as our food arrived. It was fantastic—honestly, I didn’t expect it to be that good. The drinks were ju...

My Dad drove all the way to Saint Louis (Ndar) one sunday morning. We stopped by a small village near Kebemer, to buy cute potteries and fans made in plastic. I bought two clay pots used to burn incense. They were too cute to resist. The irony is that I never burn incense because I am allergic. On top of that, I bought them hoping to decorat...

Hello! Next on the Dubai content is food, or restaurants. I did take the time to eat in Dubai, and it was always such a pleasure. With my friends, we had decided that we were going to try a different cuisine each day: Indian, Lebanese, Italian and such. We wanted to have the full experience: breakfast, lunch, diner with snacks but most days we would just have breakfast and diner. The breakfast at the hotel was so filling. Here are the places I went to and how I rate them: Bonjour! Aujourd'hui, je vais vous parler de la nourriture ou des restaurants ou je suis allee  à Dubaï . J'ai pris le temps de manger à Dubaï, et c'était toujours un tel plaisir. Avec mes amies, nous avions décidé d'essayer une cuisine différente chaque jour : indienne, libanaise, italienne, etc. Nous voulions vivre l'expérience complète: petit-déjeuner, déjeuner, dîner avec des collations, mais la plupart du temps, nous ne prenions que le petit-déjeuner et le dîner.
