La Gringa is in Peru 🇵🇪

Hello, so surprise 🤗 ….I am out of the country and stuck again, haha. These are actually chosen situations at this point right? Covid has really taken over and changed life for all of us I feel. I luckily did not have a hard time overcoming my inevitable infection, and am taking precautions now to maintain my health as to not re-catch this virus and spread it around. After my Bae and I were separated for Xmas and his bday, we decided we HAD to see each other when our simultaneous infections of covid were clear. After being together for 10 months straight, (the first time ever in our 7 years together), we realized we really need to focus on spending more time together in this crazy unknown that is life now. So, here I am in Peru enjoying life and of course the President decides we should stop movement, close the airports and quarantine for a few weeks. Good timing right? Lol 😂

If I’m being honest though, I am grateful. With actually, physically no available hospital beds in Lima at the moment (people are literally in lines outside of the hospitals trying to save themselves from covid), I am happy that they are trying to calm the spread and give people a chance to survive. People that we care about are fighting and dealing with loss here because of Covid. Lima is so populated that there needs to be extreme measures taken like this. In the states it seems a bit different and manageable (almost) with more widespread access to care, but the people here, people that I am close to and care about, are suffering immensely.

It really puts things into perspective. Makes you appreciate your health and spending time with your loved ones. So my prayer for you reading this is that you can enjoy your relationships with people more than ever and cultivate more love and good energy into your lives.

I pray for good vibes on you all.

Well, I just wanted to share a little tidbit and keep you updated and will of course share some cute Peruvian moments I had before our quarantine starts next week. TQM 😘.

Exploring Istanbul/Constantinople.

Uncategorized

I took the day to explore the history of Istanbul/Constantinople, some of it. ❤️ Such a rich and beautiful history, including the Ottoman Empire that is well preserved. Went inside the Topkapi Palace, constructed in 1459 after the destruction of the Great Palace of Constantinople. This new Palace became home to the Ottoman Empire Sultans and their many wives and children. Then I visited the Basilica Cisterna. This was where during the era of Constantinople, they created a water storage facility to protect the water from poisoning. The new Ottoman Empire however, preferred flowing water and the cistern was used less and less. Then we visited the Hagia Sofia. Built in 537, it was the largest Christian church of the Byzantine Empire. It then became a Roman Catholic Cathedral from 1204-1267. Then after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453, it became a mosque. For the last 83 years it was solely a museum until this June, when they changed it to allow people to pray here. Women must be covered of course, and entering to pray means you must also wash your hands, face and feet and leave your shoes at the door. Respect. 🙏🏼

Hope you all enjoy this little history treat.

Social Distance Party

Uncategorized

Well not exactly, but we did get to go to a new restaurant this past weekend. We went to Roomers hotel here in Frankfurt and had a lovely meal at their Burbank restaurant. We liked it so much we plan to return next weekend. After dinner we stopped at the bar, which we intelligently made a reservation for ahead of time, for an after dinner cocktail. The COVID laws here are relaxing but this bar at Roomers has decided to only let in a select few a night as to not overwhelm the already quaint bar. We luckily had the opportunity to enter and I had a lovely gin and tonic with a splash of cranberry. My mom has mentioned only about 50 times that tonic contains quinine which is claimed to help defend against this virus. I don’t know if it works but it tasted great so who cares at this point right? I recently ordered this absolutely beautiful two piece from PrettyLittleThing and felt so good in it all night. I made sure to use a good layer of BondiSands of course to spruce up my quarantine skin. My bf and my mom said I looked great in it so I think that qualifies it as a successful purchase. Hope you guys enjoy this outfit and make sure to come say hi on my new store page on Instagram. We expect to launch for Black Friday so if you want to stay updated then find me on @ititaboutique for now or sign up for news directly through our site Itita Boutique.

I’ve Been Stuck in Frankfurt for over 2 months!

SEND HELP!! JK. I have been here in Frankfurt since March 11th. What started out as a lovely trip to Germany to visit a doctor ended up being a forced permanent vacation until my boyfriend’s country, Peru decides to reopen their borders and let him come home. We are enjoying our time together though. Having a long-distance relationship for 6+ years now, this is actually the longest period of time we have been able to spend together non-stop. So, we are enjoying every minute and trying to maintain our health and sanity here in our hotel. Eating healthy and clean foods and exercising every day is helping us with that. I have done about four 1000 piece puzzles already, started uploading to Youtube more, making TikToks, you name it. I am really taking advantage of all of the uninterrupted downtimes to really get things done that I would have made excuses not to do before.
Today we went to a doctor’s office to get the Covid-19 antibody test done. This is a test that will determine if you have or have had the novel coronavirus. I wanted to know if I have had this or not to help me with how I approach mingling with society again. We both did test negative, so what this means is we have never come in contact with this virus. So, that nasty upper respiratory infection I had in January was not, in fact, this virus but another infection. What this news changes for me is just that I do know now that I absolutely need to be vigilant in maintaining my hygiene when going outside and maintaining my social distance, as to not get infected. Restaurants have finally opened back up so we’ve decided to go one or two days a week to have dinner. A chance to get out of the hotel but still not going out every day to minimize our risk and exposure.
I am sharing some photos of my time here in Frankfurt so far and I really do hope you are all taking care of yourselves during this time and finding ways to entertain yourselves. Stay Safe!
Lots of Love. By Bonnie Sue.
