Nice to be back

Welcome back, loyal readers and hello, newcomers!

Sorry to have been away for so long. Probably you haven’t even noticed, but it’s been nearly two months since my last confession, er, posting.

As my friend David said, I have been muggled. Twice. Taken down by computer meanies who want to get into my system and send you all  annoying messages about Dr. Oz’s latest diet and the miracles of Viagra. I deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

This has been a learning experience for me and one I am still not entirely finished with. It’s a day-to-day thing. For that, I ask your patience.

I’ll be back next week, I hope, with some new stories.

Meanwhile, I hope you’ve had a safe Passover and are anticipating a joyous Easter. This has been a tough “spring” for most of us, no matter where in the world we are. In the U.S., it’s snowing where it shouldn’t be snowing and dry where it should be snowing. The Aran Isles look like the Arctic. And a friend of ours has fled England to be in Florida for the duration of the so-called spring.

Let’s hope normalcy returns soon.

When I was three and toothless, I referred to it as "The Clip House." Still love it, though . . .

I’m leaving you with a pic of me and Tim at the Cliff House in San Francisco. My parents took me there 100 years ago. It’s still got a great view, and it makes me happy. Jaded SF-ers need not comment. I know, I know.

Buon viaggio e Buona Pasqua!

It’s been a little over 5 years since we met in Italy. I love that I can still touch base with a few of my travel companions from Go Ahead. I have been traveling within the U.S. and to Mexico to visit friends. But my ultimate plan is Italy/France 2014!

All the best,
Lakisha

November 1 is Reclamation Day

There was only one sign for pumpkin spice anything, and it was at the train station in Rome. Starbucks, of course, and my apologies to all who love the fall-themed brew. But then there was the Trick or Treat sign on the Irish pub (!) in my Italian town of Sulmona. It was jarring. Halloween hasn’t yet come to Italy in a big way, and that’s fine with me. Call me a grump. Because the rest of the year (as most of you know) I live in Salem, Massachusetts where, over the past 20 years, Halloween starts in early September and runs through mid-November. The crowds are staggering – nearly one million people come into town on Halloween weekend alone.…
