Flashback

From our first blog: Sunday, August 21, 2005   Forget the rest of the trip–our time in Italy was defined by the past three hours. It began on top of the Palatine Hill, overlooking the ruins of the center of the world: the Roman forum. We descended into a copse of ancient pines, and climbed [...]

London is touted as one of the “financial centers of the world” –right up there with New York and Hong Kong. It is also reputed to be a great place for enjoying the best of world cuisine. However, if you would like to cook your own food, rather than paying someone to do it for [...]

Soccer, and more specifically, the EuroCup 2008, is quickly and fiercely wooing me.  It’s hard to resist ninety minute games, constant motion (that, more often than not, reseambles dancing, not a field spot), precision, national competition and Very Attractive Men. I watched the Croatia/Turkey game with the Shephersons this afternoon.  We had our own Turkish [...]
