Stacia Slept Here & There: Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse

http://staciaslepthere.blogspot.com/2010/07/halles-de-lyon-paul-bocuse.html

Confessions of a Travel Writer. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse. Paul Bocuse, the creator of Nouvelle Cuisine, put Lyon on the gastronomic map and Lyon returned the favor by adding the chef's name to its glass-enclosed gourmet market, containing 59 purveyors of the finest produce, cheeses, fish, meat, wines and desserts in all of France.

Stacia Slept Here & There: Corbusier Church in Firminy, France

http://staciaslepthere.blogspot.com/2010/07/corbusier-church-in-saint-etienne.html

Confessions of a Travel Writer. Friday, July 9, 2010. Corbusier Church in Firminy, France. When Corbusier, the father of modern architecture, designed a church for Firminy outside of Saint-Etienne, an industrial town in the Rhone Alpes, you could've heard a concrete block fall. His ingenious design which fills the chapel with natural rays of light was not appreciated by the local clergy who cherished their medieval, gothic and renaissance cathedrals.

Stacia Slept Here & There: Annecy, France

http://staciaslepthere.blogspot.com/2010/07/annecy-france.html

Confessions of a Travel Writer. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. If you like romantic canals, swans, snow-capped mountains, crystal clear lakes, chalets and scrumptious cuisine, you'll fall in love with Annecy. This is where well-heeled Parisians ski in the winter and sail in the summer. You can smell the money in the pure, crisp mountain air. The outdoor Antique Market on the last Saturday of the month along the canal. Posted by Tally Strawbridge. August 2, 2010 at 6:12 PM. Dear Lord, that looks so heavenly!

Stacia Slept Here & There: Dining in Lyon

http://staciaslepthere.blogspot.com/2010/07/dining-in-lyon.html

Confessions of a Travel Writer. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Le Mere Lyonnaise, a 100-year-old Lyon restaurant now in the capable hands of two-star Michelin chef Mathieu Viannay, won me over from the first course - succulent raw oysters in a basil jelly with caviar. The private dining rooms are the former bedrooms of the original owner and give the contemporary restaurant a Belle Epoch intimacy. Dining here is theatre that will leave you shouting, "Encore!

Emerald Street Urban Farm Project. Farm Stand and Hoedown! Travels in India/ Changes ahead for ESUF →. November 10, 2010 · 6:39 am. Early nights are good for reflection! I always love this time of year! The days get shorter, the temperatures go down but are still strangely comforting and suddenly there isn’t much more to plant, water or plan … Heaven! It’s quiet. As close to silence as you can get in Philadelphia. I love it! Oh man I’m excited! We’ll keep you posted on upcoming farmstands. Without the bi...

Stacia Slept Here & There: Dante & Luigi's

http://staciaslepthere.blogspot.com/2011/07/dante-luigis.html

Confessions of a Travel Writer. Sunday, July 3, 2011. Back in the late 1960's, you could walk into Dante and Luigi's in South Philly with a five dollar bill, dine on veal parm with wine, and leave with change. These days, the prices have gone up but so has the quality of the food. Mama isn't in the kitchen anymore. She's been replaced by a classically trained chef who puts the focus on the freshest, finest ingredients in season. Posted by Tally Strawbridge. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Stacia Slept Here & There: 10/25/09 - 11/1/09

http://staciaslepthere.blogspot.com/2009_10_25_archive.html

Confessions of a Travel Writer. Sunday, October 25, 2009. Whose woods these are, I think I know. Covered wooden bridges, bubbling streams, waterfalls, bike trails, the clip clop of horses, dogs dancing on the ends of their leashes, ducks and geese gliding in the river, autumn leaves crunching underfoot. All good reasons to abandon your regular routine and head for Forbidden Drive, the 5-mile scenic trail that meanders through the Wissahickon Woods. Posted by Tally Strawbridge.

Stacia Slept Here & There: 7/19/09 - 7/26/09

http://staciaslepthere.blogspot.com/2009_07_19_archive.html

Confessions of a Travel Writer. Friday, July 24, 2009. Posted by Tally Strawbridge. Divine B&Bs in the Holy Land. The best and most affordable way to see the littlest big country in the Middle East is to stay at a B&B. I found a furnished two bedroom apt with a view of the Old City in the quaint Yamin Moshe neighborhood of Jerusalem for less than half what I would pay for a single room at any hotel.

Stacia Slept Here & There: 7/12/09 - 7/19/09

http://staciaslepthere.blogspot.com/2009_07_12_archive.html

Confessions of a Travel Writer. Saturday, July 18, 2009. Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Salvador was the former port of entry for Brazil’s slaves. As a result, 80% of the city’s population is of African ancestry. I could hear it in the music, taste it in the palm oil seasoned food and see it in the colorful costumes of the Bahianas, women street vendors who sell acarejé, deep-fried bean cakes. The singer’s voice floated like silk over bass drums so low they sounded as if they were coming from the earth&#...
