How have you all been doing these last SIX weeks?!

How have you all been doing these last SIX weeks?!

Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been six weeks since I last posted here. I’ve really missed you all! I am finally getting the hang of things with my online school. Plus we’re finally done with some of the harder things in music business like contracts and copyrights. I won’t say I know all of that stuff intimately, [...]

Portugal: Sintra

Portugal: Sintra

I don’t have a lot of photos from Sintra. It poured the ENTIRE time we were there and after a while, I gave up trying to keep my camera dry. But trust me, you want to go! The entire town is a UNESCO World Heritage site–well deserved. If you’re visiting Sintra as a day trip [...]

Portugal: Strolling through Lisbon

Portugal: Strolling through Lisbon

When we booked our Portugal trip at the beginning of January for mid-February travel, I had visions of basking in sparkling, warm, Spring-like days and enjoying a lovely coffee and a delicious Portuguese pastry in an outdoor cafe. In other words, we were going to steal away to what I imagined to be sun-soaked Portugal to ward [...]

Mannequins in Camden Town (London)

Mannequins in Camden Town (London)

We took a quick trip into Camden Town after the Peter White concert last Sunday. What a fascinating place! Roxi and I could spend hours and hours there. We definitely want to go back and have a girl day (shopping and lunch). This photo from my Wordless Wednesday post this week was taken in the Camden food [...]

I was in Guildford over the weekend (hello shopping, LOL!) and came across this old church: St. Mary’s, the oldest church and oldest building in town. The tower is from Saxon times (about 1050). Here’s a little more information if you’re interested. Also, if you’re a fan of Lewis Carroll (

Italy: Florence

Italy: Florence

Let me just say this upfront and honestly: I was not prepared for the number of tourists in Florence (of which I was one, I know, I know…). And because I wasn’t expecting them, the stalls in the San Lorenzo Market were like a slap in the face, and I am sorry to say it [...]

Italy: Lucca (ti amo)

Italy: Lucca (ti amo)

Lucca was a charming surprise! Located in Tuscany, this little town is surrounded by thick walls from the Renaissance era. Rick Steves listed Lucca and Pisa together in his Italy book, which I have to admit was the only reason we went. I am so glad we did, though. Lucca is a town with heart. [...]

Italy: Pisa

Italy: Pisa

Because we were “in the neighbourhood”, I really wanted to have a peek at Pisa. We did Rick Steve’s walk from the train station through the town to the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), where the Leaning Tower is located. We spent half a day in Pisa and half a day in Lucca. I’ll show [...]
