I love a good door
No matter where I am in the world, i am always drawn to doorways. From brightly painted ones surround by tropical pants in Brazil, to gothic relics in ancient Italian fortresses, to rusting wrought iron in Lebanon, I love them all. The older, and more derelict the better in my book:
Bastia’s beautiful signs
The Englishman and I are planning a trip to Corsica this summer, and I have been getting excited thinking about another visit to what has become one of my absolute favorite places in the world.

Turning 30, riding the bus, and going back to school
After a summer of non-stop travel and excitement I am settling back into the apartment in Nice and trying to stay put for a few months. It is quite a change to be back and to be adjusting to the pace of life in the South of France. I spent so much time in the … Continue reading
Top Travel Tip: The San Francisco Ferry
Today’s Tip: Ride the San Francisco Ferry I used to think of San Francisco as a place you needed a car to get to. Not anymore. Golden Gate Transit is good, and the ferry system is a thing of beauty.

Turn right at the burning dumpster and keep an open mind
The great creaking travel machine that is my summer has gained some momentum and feels nearly up to speed. The Englishman and I returned to Nice from Corsica and then almost instantaneously boarded our next flight back to London to keep the Birthday celebrations going. The weather cooperated beautifully with our cautiously optimistic plans for a … Continue reading
Water, Sewer, Gas, Electric
In my travels during the past couple of years, I started noticing all of the varied utility covers embedded in the roads and sidewalks in cities all over the world. I became so fascinated with the rustic, industrial, beauty of the water, sewer, gas and electric lines and covers, I have started a photographic collection … Continue reading
Facing My Fear… of the Post Office
I am terrified of the post office. There I said it. Ridiculous, I know, but its true. Its not that it’s difficult to get to, there is one two blocks from the apartment. I pass by it most days on my way to the beach or the grocery store or wherever. But I’m afraid to … Continue reading
