Brantôme, France
Thanksgiving is such a great time, especially when your kids grow up and leave home. They come back for Thanksgiving and it is such a blessing. My 2 sons are back in town from college, one on the West Coast and one on the East…
Eating in style in Helsinki
I guess it is a little surreal to pay about $80 for a meal in an old jail. But that is what you are likely to do in Hotel Katajanokka in Helsinki. I was part of an event to celebrate 25 years of work of a…
The New London
The interesting thing about London is the emergence of modern architecture that is as classic as the old. The whole area around City Hall and the Tower Bridge is fascinating because of the timeless buildings, buildings that will be tourist attractions 100 years from now,…

Fabulous Florence
Firenze, the Italian name for Florence, is a gem of a city. Many years ago our family visited Italy. We started in Venice and made our way south through Rome and onto Pompeii near Naples. We absolutely loved Venice, who wouldn’t? We found Rome a…
Alpine Glass
