Minka Kelly Instagram – My early Christmas gift to myself: I visited three countries—Spain, Portugal, and France—specifically Madrid, Lisbon, and Paris. This trip turned into what usually happens: me daydreaming about moving to another country. And this trip did not disappoint! Here are a few highlights, not in any particular order, that were truly the highlight of my year.
1. Selfie in the bathroom in Madrid. 🤷🏽♀️
2. Don’t you all hire real estate agents and tour apartments when you travel?
3. I watched my friend’s kid play the piano and asked for the instructor’s contact because, why not? What if I move there?
4. Potatoes, cauliflower, jumbo prawns, stew, and curry sauce.
5. My favorite restaurant in Lisbon.
6. Hello, Kristof coffee shop—chef’s kiss!
7. The Folks Sé: pistachio latte.
8 & 9 At Dreamin’ Man Coffee Shop. I have a soft spot for people who still read the newspaper. This coffee shop has one of the BEST pour-overs I’ve ever had. The owner worked at Fuglen Tokyo and all of the barista’s are the best.
10 & 11 Friends hosted Christmas dinners, and everyone helped the chef, Geoffroy Langella from Bistrot Des Tournelles, one of the best and kindest chefs in Paris.
12. Dessert: mousse with cheese and ice cream.
13 & 14. Klover Coffee has the sweetest barista named Lee; please tell him the annoying picture-taking American named Khatira sent you.
15. I had an official dinner at Bistrot Des Tournelles, where I learned about the epic dessert, Baba au Rhum.
16. Things that never get old: Eiffel Tower.
17. Just two best friends sitting on a bridge, the Pont des Arts Bridge.
18. To end this journey, it wouldn’t be a local experience where I daydream about living somewhere if I didn’t take the metro.
To be continued, if I somehow convince my family to go on an adventure and move! | Posted on 27/Dec/2024 00:03:38
