Day Trip to Morristown, NJ

Larry — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 01:00:27 +0000

I heard from some co-worker last year that this little town in NJ was worth a visit, so Lisa and I jumped on Ruby (our Burgman 650) and took a ride out there. New Jersey highway quality aside, it was a fun trip and the town was, in fact, worth a visit. Just barely. The […]

Back in NYC!

Larry — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 21:58:20 +0000

Much to our surprise, we’re back in NYC! After nearly 7 months in Europe and an extended and very welcome stay in Utah with family, Lisa and I have returned to the scene of the evacuation just over a year after the move from the underworld (both meanings). At least this time we smartly left […]

Italy Wrap Up in Pictures!

Lisa — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:19:18 +0000

Our last few weeks in Italy were a whirlwind of activities and travel and preparation for repatriation back to the good ole’ US of A. Being that I didn’t have time to prepare individual posts given our frenetic pace, I thought I’d tell the story in pictures. It’s a big blur of locations and activities, […]

All Saints’ Day: Cortona, Italy

Lisa — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:33:08 +0000

November 1st is All Saints Day and the residents of Italy celebrate by making a pilgrimage to their local cemetery to decorate the graves of their loved ones. The graves are then illuminated with artificial candles after dark. Cortona’s only cemetery is perched dramatically on the edge of the hillside – it’s spectacular! Larry spent […]

The Largest Antiques Market in Tuscany: Arezzo, Italy

Lisa — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:39:06 +0000

Larry and I had read that the largest antiques market in Tuscany takes place in nearby Arezzo on the first weekend of each month – of course we had to be there to experience for ourselves. We set out one afternoon for the 45 minute drive north to check it out, and then spent at […]

Jack O’Lanterns in Italy

Lisa — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:25:24 +0000

Halloween is an American holiday, for the most part. You do see small slivers and hints of it here and there in Europe – a few costumes or spooky trinkets trying to inch their way into the stores. It’s trying but it hasn’t quite caught on yet. We were planning on being a good example […]

Sunrise and Sunset on the Hill: Cortona, Italy

Lisa — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:03:59 +0000

One of the things we’ve been enjoying most about our current location is the altitude. Cortona is a hill town, and we are at the very top of this particular hill town. The views to the valley below are spectacular, especially at sunrise and sunset. Larry went out one recent morning to capture some of […]

Sunshine, Venus, and David: Florence, Italy

Lisa — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 01:45:20 +0000

Florence is only about an hour away from Cortona, so on a recent sunny day we decided to take a road trip. Tony came with us too, so we could release him back into the wild. He was looking a little worse for the wear on the ride and I was worried about him, but […]

It’s Olive Harvesting Time! Cortona, Italy

Lisa — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:47:03 +0000

While in Provence, Larry and I loved seeing the cute little baby olives on all the olive trees. Traditionally, olive harvesting time is in November and December, so we’re in Tuscany just in time to catch the harvest (and take home some fresh olive oil!). Recently we were on our way out shopping when we […]

Antiques Market: Castiglion Fiorentino

Lisa — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:23:52 +0000

One recent weekend Larry and I went on a drive and ended up at a little antiques market in the neighboring town of Castiglion Fiorentino. What a great spot for people watching, on top of interesting antiques (and junk).
