On Nathan Road Kowloon

June 4, 2015

This pretty much sums up what we did in Asia. With eyes bigger than our stomachs we gawked, stalked and ate from hawker stalls in street corners and back alleys at all hours of the day. Our bellies and second chins are still enjoying their food comas.

My Notting Hill

November 4, 2014

At LHR. Walked past a man whose cologne reminded me of early days with G. Cold morning walks from Fabian Road to Fulham Station. A peck on the cheek at Notting Hill Gate. Navy suit. Red tie.

El arte de la sobre mesa | The art of the long table

June 6, 2014

I love Europe for its museums and castles, Asia for its food and beaches, and North America for the countless things that make it a great place to call home.  But South America I love for its sobre mesa –  the art of the long, drawn out table where friends and families loiter together for […]
