Feet, Belur, India This photo holds a lot of meaning for me personally. This was taken when my husband and I were on our honeymoon in 2007. We had just had our second wedding in Bangalore and were traveling the countryside near by with his cousins. After a day or […]

from the Ponte Vecchio, Florence It had been a jam-packed day in Florence. We had walked the city, been to the Museo Galileo, stood by the River Arno watching the rain fall, debating on whether or not to continue on. The clouds parted, and we started across the Ponte Vecchio, […]
One of my favorite places in Florence, the Gardens of Boboli had a nice surprise – Cats! They didn’t want much to do with anyone, but I think if I’d had more time I would have enough cats to make a calendar. As we walked home one night, I also […]
portions originally written Oct. 12th, 2007 It’s truly amazing I can fly for 17 hours and still feel at home. Everyone speaks English, the stores are the same (well, high end, Bvlgari, Gucci, Burberry, Fendi everywhere – it’s like a large Santana Row or Plaza), the food is fairly similar […]

Lots of them. I took around 2700 pictures on this trip. Not sure how many I have posted, as I keep slowly editing and deleting in the albums. But, here are some quick links to the albums for each place we went (except New York, see last post): At the […]
Though, most of you already know that. It’s back to work for me today — somewhere in Zurich it hit me that I did indeed have a job and didn’t travel for a living. In Belur, this carving inspired me to pick up the feet pictures (like the one I […]
The keys are only slightly amiss here in Zurich. The Z and the Y key are switched, which is messing with me every time I want to type my name (and I’ve never noticed how many y’s one types in a sentence until just now). Zurich is wonderful — I […]
