    Una Guia para Granada, Spain

    *The following posts about Andalusia document our trip together before I was grounded (no longer able to fly while pregnant).  However, I am blogging about these adventures post-baby, and appreciate the patience it will take for me to upload/complete these posts between parental duties. 23Feb2019: On a random search for lunch between our drive from…

  • Florence and a slice of Pisa

    Florence and a slice of Pisa

    I didn’t realize the Leaning Tower of Pisa is set alongside other picturesque buildings in the center city plaza.  The evening hours were perfect for a viewing with few crowds and few selfie sticks.  We ate just off the restaurant row at a steakhouse surprisingly full of locals.  We didn’t order the steak though.  Il…

    Belfast, Very Fast

    KK and I caught up on the drive up the Irish coast to Belfast.  It’d been two years since we’d seen each other.  Admittedly, we made a few detours between Dublin and Belfast as we were gabbing so much we forgot to check the GPS.  Lori and her colleague, Gabe, in the car behind us…

    Rome wasn’t built in a day…

    But we tried to see it in one. My mom felt that she might not return to Italy so Rome became a must on her list.  I planned an itinerary that brought us to some of the most visited landmarks.  My mom participated in the local coin toss at Trevi Fountain, and bought rosary beads…

    Barcelona Through New, Yet Older Eyes

    “It’s…like…in your face amazing. Wow!”: My mom’s first words when we got out of the metro station at Passeig de Gracia.  I had just pointed out Casa Batllo was directly across the street and it blew her away.  She said she imagined Gaudi’s architecture to be tucked away, maybe more like a garden or museum…
