“An American in Barcelona…” – next blog idea?! [Although I’d hate it if you stopped writing this one!]
Your travel ideas are wonderful – I completely took your tip and went on a little day trip further afield last weekend, and am driving down to the seaside for a mini-break next week. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that there are amazing places to visit that don’t require you to jump on an expensive plane!
ANYWAY – ramblings aside! – that espresso cup is exquisite, and I’m loving your round-up of Italian food-writers. Although I actually quite adore your sarcastic spots of ironic foodstuffs/bad restaurant decor!! xxx
ooh boo! I wrote a long response and somehow clicked out of it instead of posting.
In summary: I wish I was lucky enough to split time between Rome and Barcelona, but that is probably asking too much.
So glad you had a mini-holiday and explored the hidden gems in your proverbial backyard. It can do wonders for refreshing yourself after a hard week at work, without the major price tag.
Thanks for the sweet words of encouragement- so glad you enjoyed the posts π
This is a great guess! And I see how it makes sense with the Italy-connection, and the fact that it makes sense I meant a city beginning with “I”, but we were in Ireland visiting family and friends π
Izmir? π
Not Izmir… but now that I’ve looked up photos, I might have to book a trip! This time we were in Ireland π

Ischia?
An EXCELLENT guess. We are going there at the end of September, but this time we were actually in Ireland.
