So, it seems life got busy and my blog got quiet. I am back for 2013. I have posts ready to go – finishing up our European vacation posts, telling you about some of the fun things we have been doing and some photo posts. Funnily enough, in this downtime, I have still been blogging…

The first day in Paris
Our first full day in Paris was full of adventure. We got up early and headed out to the Lourve. On the train – Ready to explore! We ran around there quickly (Bill had to see the Mona Lisa – I had been beforehand) and back out before then, heading over to the Eiffel Tower…
Le Bouche à Oreilles
After settling into our room, drying off and relaxing, we headed out for dinner and ended up at this hip, cute little bistro nearby called Le Bouche à Oreilles. This place was so cool – a mix of locals, students and more locals. Old records were pinned to the walls and the place was loud,…
So… getting back to Europe…
With the hurricane bearing down on New York, there is no time like the present to catch up on my blog posts. I really have to get Europe out of the way! We’ve had a busy couple of months so with all the housework done and no other choice than being inside, it is perfect…
At 7.05am without fail..
I am walking down the street on my way to work and no parking starts at 7am to allow traffic to have a clear run. At this time in the morning, there is always a tow truck waiting to pounce. The NYPD waste no time whatsoever and I always try and pick the cars that…
San Marco and Burano
Our final full day in Venice was spent with a leisurely morning walk to Piazza San Marco, a visit to the San Marco Basilica and then the ‘Secret Itineraries’ tour of the Doges Palace. We then were to hop back on the vaporetto and head out to the beautiful lace making island of Burano. Luckily,…
Wandering around and Murano
To try and keep Venice as relaxing as possible, we woke up with the church bells, had breakfast and then went back to bed for a later sleep in! We hopped on the vaporetto and headed out on our adventure for the day. Through different neighborhoods, you see Venice change along the way. When we…
Oh Venezia!
Venice was everything I loved and remembered! It was great to have it as our rest stop after such a crazy time in Rome. We were able to just wander around and really take it easy and have as much of a r est – we were exhausted when we got there. The only disappointing…
4th of July Parade in Brooklyn
A month late but let’s go! This year, our 4th of July started early. On the Saturday before the 4th, we headed to 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights in Brooklyn for the 107th 4th of July parade that is organized by the Knights of Columbus. Because of MTA trackwork this involved 3 trains and two…
AALL Boston – I am there! #aall12
I know it has been ages since my last update – I really have to get on to documenting the rest of Europe. This is even more of a priority since last week we booked to return to Rome in February next year. Oops! We couldn’t help ourselves. We love Rome so much – we…
