Embassy Festival

The Lange Voorhout in The Hague is the location of the annual Embassy Festival. An international gathering where people and cultures from all over the world come together. On August 31st and September 1st 2018 the Embassy Festival will celebrate its sixth edition. (I think I have been to every single one!)

This year 60 countries will partecipate in the Embassy festival. You can listen and dance to live music, enjoy freshly prepared food and taste wines from unexpected countries; you can buy souvenirs (they make for great gifts) or get information on your next holiday destination. On saturday there are also activities for kids, such as decorating cupcakes.

One of my favourite restaurants will be there as well, KUA Mexican kitchen (https://tarasdolcevita.blogspot.com/2014/09/kua-mexican-kitchen-hague-netherlands.html). I can't wait to have one of their Margarita cocktails and some street style tacos!!

Besides tasting all the different kinds of food, the best part of the Embassy Festival is watching people! Especially the embassy staff... most of them dress up in their national attire. See you there?

Jlo & Arod in Capri

 

  

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez brought back Hollywood glamour to Capri! Just like in the old days, when Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis visited the island, paparazzi worked overtime to catch a glimp of the famous couple. Locals and tourists alike went crazy taking selfies, videos, clapping, screaming their names... Jlo and Arod graciously took it all in.

This august Jennifer Lopez and former baseball player Alex Rodriguez were in Capri and the Amalfi Coast to spend their summer holidays together; relaxing aboard their yacht, shopping at local stores Fiore, la Perla di Capri and menswear brand Isaia, having lunch at restaurant "Lo Scoglio da Tommaso" (in Massa Lubrense), dinner at "Chez Black" (in Positano) and simply enjoying each other's company.

One night they went to "Taverna Anema e Core" where Lopez spontaneously climbed the stage and performed her hitsong "Let's get loud"! Now that was truly La Dolce Vita!

The beautiful couple practically always dressed in matching outfits; Jlo was seen in a gorgeous white lace dress by Dolce e Gabbana and a floral-print dress by the same brand. They looked stunning together, but most of all... very much in love.

La Dolce Vita is... watching the sunset in Cartagena

La Dolce Vita is watching the sunset in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. This wonderful city is surrounded practically everywhere by the sea. The Caribbean Sea to be precise. Every day tourists and locals alike flock to the ancient city walls to watch the sunset, which is just magical.... Please take me back!

The best spots to watch the sunset are "Cafe del Mar" at Baluarte de Santo Domingo and "El Baluarte de San Francisco Javier", in front of the Hotel Charleston Santa Teresa. (Or you can just sit down anywhere on the old city walls.)
