A story from London

March 9, 2010

A few nights ago over dinner, the Boy and I were talking about cities and their personalities. Places are like people. They have their own quirks, faults, assets, mannerisms. They can be moody and giving, beautiful and bland, intoxicatingly intriguing or tragic. And often times, like the most important people in our lives, we can [...]

Verona. Love.

August 30, 2009

We spent two nights in Verona to meet up with some friends for an evening of opera (Aida) at the Roman arena. It was beautiful. Long, but beautiful. And though admittedly I’m not an avid opera fan, the experience of Aida in Verona in the dead heat of the August summer in an ancient Roman [...]
