I’ve just eaten about 7 Dove Promises and it’s Wednesday … which means it’s not a long weekend anymore. The weather this Memorial Day weekend could only really be described as bipolar. Pretty much every weather forecaster in Boston is trying to tell us that Memorial Day is the start to summer. For about 70%…
Just a quick post before I head out for my last full day in Italy. I wanted to share how insane the breakfast spread is at the Waldorf Cavalieri in Rome. And yes, that is the size of a piece of toast (above). It is the biggest piece of bread I’ve ever seen.
Let me start by saying I have no idea what day of the week it is. I overheard someone in the lobby this morning talking about potentially having trouble getting from Naples home. WHAT. so, I cancelled my last half hour of water gawking and ran to the train station. Strike starts at 9 and…
I’m up early for breakfast just like normal. The roosters are crowing. The sun is rising over the mountains. The fog is slowly burning off. But Mount Vesuvius is nearly completely hidden by the fog. It’s not that far away and yet it is completely indistinguishable that there is a volcano behind that seamless layer…
sciopero in Italian means “train strike”. This was one of the words I learned before coming here …. And we came back to our hotel last night from dinner and saw this little note on our bed. Yikes. So our leisurely morning changed to an earlier wake-up with the hopes of getting back to Florence…
Well, we are bidding Venice farewell and hoping on the train to Florence. If we are comparing notes on train infrastructure, I would say: – South Station is prettier – European trains are more organized – 2nd class travel is like the Acela
Things that I’ve been thinking about: How much weight will I gain in Italy? My (self) manicures normally last for 2.5 weeks. What about that last 1/2 week?!? Will Ray Bans make me look like a tourist? I hope it’s sunny so my hair gets lighter. Should I try and keep track of how much…
Hi there internet, I wanted to provide an update on my Birthday Wish to get 300 people to join (slash donate to) the Be the Match registry. I’m currently at less than 10 people … with about a million people telling me that they’d love to do it. I’ve been meaning to write an update…
I’m not sure what I’ve done to give back in a meaningful way in a long time. I’ve been thinking about this a fair amount, especially as I approach 30. Life isn’t just about me, it’s about those around me. What am I doing to impact the lives of others? Well, yesterday it came to…
Right now I’m sitting on my couch after a weekend at home. My body feels a little bit like it spent the weekend in Vermont or Maine. My face is a little pink from being outside, I’m sore, and perhaps a bit tired. But, that isn’t what happened. Instead, I fell for the allure of my parent’s…
