czech us out

Strolling around Prague is like stepping inside your favorite fairy tale.  The castles, fire works, soldiers-  that look and act like toy soldiers, bright colored buildings, the architecture you could only dream up … it’s all inside Prague.   you feel like you are a character in shrek.   i am fiona. (: i love […]

Milano part 1

Milano holds a special place in my heart since I spent first grade  as a milanese. My father was the first major leaguer to play baseball overseas in Europe.  I never thought about it before but he is quite the pioneer.  I remember two italians flying all the way from Italy just to get my […]

Positano – straight out of my dreams part 2

just a few more pictures… i couldn’t help myself! a bougainvillea ceiling!  One of the best things about Positano is how few tourists are there compared to Capri.  It is an oasis of rest and relaxation.   please visit!

Capri – little slice of italian heaven

Venice in photos

A Museum and a monumental birthday!

Yesterday we took a day trip to Riehen- just outside of Basel.  I had been wanting to go there for a while as I had heard about their incredible museum – the Fondation Beyeler.   Years ago Mr. Beyeler started amassing an extensive personal art collection – he was even good friends with Picasso.  Then […]

Lucerne – second time around

Lucerne once again!  This time with a friend – Kelly.  We rode up the gondola and then down the steepest cogwheel in the world.   two times I’ve been in Lucerne. Second times the charm – it was clear enough to take a trip to Mount Pilatus. We walked up these fresh new steps … […]

Meet Lucy.  Our middle aged Boston Terrier who we love sooo much.  She is my snuggle buddy since I’m without my JB.  Her funny face never fails to cheer me up! And she has a frosted out collar.   Lucy and I wish you a happy wednesday!!!
