4 x 4 Meme

I've done this meme before but it was called the 4 x 8 last time.  I could say no but when my new New Zealand Italian blogging friend  Marina passed it on, and she is such a lovely person, I decided to play.

4 PLACES  I'D LIKE TO BE AT THIS MOMENT
Club Med Lindeman Island where my son is working.
R & S's garden on the Gold Coast having breakfast, reading the papers and deciding where to go for lunch.
Walking the Camino in Spain and about to arrive into Leon where there is a really nice wine bar near the cathedral.
Running a half marathon anywhere in the world.

I'm going to keep this in New Zealand and pass it on to Gilly.

Nice stuff... tough to keep track of all that is happening. I end up reading 100 odd blogs daily. Plus there is news. You could also enrich your blog by adding current news on your blog... try out the news widget from widgetmate.com

I love Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's so fun since it was shot in Chicago. Also, I would never eat liver either. I know it's really good for you or whatever, I just can't get over the smell and the appearance.

[chrisb]

Barbara through this meme I've learned a little more about you which is nice. I no longer eat liver but I do miss it- liver and bacon with onions and thick gravy was a regular when the girls were growing up- not that they were very keen I might add!!

[Rosemary in Utah]

Hooray! More liver for me!

[barbara]

Ruari - thank you for sharing.
Kelly - I didn't realis it was filmed in Chicago. I shalllook out for landmarks next time.
Chris and Rosemary - I used to eat liver until I saw a photo of my own.

I saw many many times Ferris Buellers day off,and I always enjoy, also Babette's fest (one of my favorite movies). And I love jamon iberico specially pata negra. Great post

[joey]

Jamon Iberico -- Yes! :) So good! It's always nice to learn more about you :)

I guess looking at your own liver is off putting...how about the kidneys?
I have done my meme as you know and overnight have thought of another 4 wonderful movies, had trouble with food I don't like.
Great fun

[Golly]

Mmmmm ... Don't forget the pastry shops in Leon with those fabulous little treats which you could eat with wild abandon knowing the road ahead would burn them for you!

[Benito]

Barbara,

Mind if I take this and use it on my blog? I'll give you full credit, of course. :)

Cheers,
Benito

[barbara]

Sylvia - thank you.
Joey - another jamon fan.
Gilly - I don't like the texture of kidneys.
Golly - oooh yes the pastries. There was a shop opposite the cathedral I remember.
Ben - Feel free. I look forward to reading your 4x4's.
