Ciao Bella
Our big summer trip of 2023 is finally here! Today, Ellie and I are flying to Rome. My friend Peter was kind enough to shuttle us to the airport.

A Little Trip to the Big NY
I've not posted anything here for a long time, and I was very close to simply abandoning this blog the last time it came up for renewal and letting it drift away into the history of the internet. But at the last minute, I decided not to let that happen. So after 3 years, here's … Continue reading A Little Trip to the Big NY
Returning Home
After our lovely Saturday evening in Prague, I started my journey home Sunday morning - but not too early! The three of us had a quick breakfast at the airport, which wasn't cheap, but surprisingly good. Then we headed on our separate ways. The girls are staying in CZ for an extended period. I miss … Continue reading Returning Home

In addition to high quality, inexpensive wines, they offered delicious estate made grape juice for kids in the tasting room, a … Continue reading Cape Winelands – mostly
Pizza, Penguins, and a Party
We had one final morning of unsettled weather so we headed over to the Two Oceans Aquarium mid-morning on Boxing Day. A lot of other people had the same idea, too - the place was pretty packed! We got to walk through an interesting skeleton made completely out of scavenged plastic - bottles and jugs … Continue reading Pizza, Penguins, and a Party
