Ljubljana Christmas Market
We stopped in Ljubljana, a mere two hours from Venice, on a whim on our way home from the Advent in Zagreb Christmas Market. The snow had lightly began to fall, it was misty and foggy, and it was freezing outside. We considered just driving right on by, and oh, how glad I am that […]
The Joie de Vivre at Chateau Prieure Marquet

Europe’s Christmas markets elicit thoughts of Germany or Austria, hot mugs of gluhwein and sausages sizzling on grills in tiny wooden houses.

A Guide to the Best Places to Eat in Rome from a Local
I met Gillian on a press trip last summer to the Amalfi and Cilento Coasts. She’s a fellow American who came to live in Italy through her husband’s job, just as I had. Based in Rome {in an apartment with a view of the Colosseum, no less}, Gillian was living out every fantasy I ever […]
