Because we would like to go camping and fill the summer with sporty activities such as skinny dipping, tennis and mini-golf. And because bearded beauties like you should not be allowed not to smile at all of life's wonder.

Because the girls are going to Barcelona, and for some reason beach life, backstage, beer and boys in bands, seem slighty more appealing than a new membership at the video store and rainy days of Sweden.

Because we are in Istanbul and would enjoy a fun guy in a fez.
Also because, as GPS-preparation Dad gave us a map from 1905, since it had "the most inclusive overview".
In other words, we're walking around Konstantinopel, hearing things like; "A carpet is like love. But unlike a women, you can always stand on your carpet. A carpet will always respect you."

Diana Vreeland knew what she was talking about when stating that "Pink is the navy blue of India". She also said; "The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it."

We love a guy who can pose in front of the camera, and what pleasure to drown in those brown eyes. We can't wait to walk around in preppy outfits, eat lobster for lunch and have cocktails on the porch of our summer house in Montauk. After you've become an indie-electronic millionaire, that is.

Another Christmas reading from The Economist, concering on of our more intagible great loves; United States of America.

The article further discuss;

...that countries and regions and cities are engaged in a global battle for talent. The most creative people can live more or less where they want. They tend to pick places that offer not only material comfort but also the stimulation of being surrounded by other creative types. This make life more fun. It also fosters technological progress. When clever people cluster, they can bounce ideas off eachother. This is why rents are so high in Manhattan.

Yes, sir. But there are plenty of free drinks, too.

Not to mention all those intellectual New York men.

Already fans of the Swedo-Americano combo, we have now found something even better - the Danish-Americano. Preferrably born in New York and raised in Argentina. Just like our future kiddos.

Allow us to dream of summer.

Because Spain is always sunnier, a twilight of the matadors and there is a dude called Don Juan, that at least in an American movie says;
