Hometown adventures

 These are some of my favorite shots from this past year.  Boston is an incredible city, the architecture, food, people, everything.  It doesn't matter how many times you have been here there is always something new to see and do.  Go for a walk and make your own adventure.

Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to Rome we go....

Rome.  If you have never been you MUST go.  You can take a Hop on-Hop off bus to get the lay of the land, but in my opinion it's a great walking city.  Yes your feet will hurt at the end of the day,  but it is well worth it.  Grab a gelato and stroll.  The architecture is amazing, and around every corner there is something to see.  The food is delicious.  The best are the mom and pop places where you can spend an hour or two just enjoying the food and your surroundings.  It was fun being a tourist in this beautiful city and I look forward to doing it again.

More Italian adventures

After an hour and a half train ride from Rome and a 2 hour boat from the little town of Formia, we arrived on the beautiful little island called Ponza. The weather was perfect, the food delicious, and the wine was exceptional. The people are some of the most warm and inviting people in the world. If you ever have the chance, take the trip and visit this little slice of heaven.
