Renaissance art, picturesque bridges, Italian wine, and mouthwatering ravioli. What's not to love? Our first objective upon arrival was lunch. Famished, Becca and I entered a nondescript little restaurant near our hotel, where I had a simple chicken dish with a delectable sauce. I was still under a slight shoe-induced deli...

Our night out in Galway left me so dazed that I forgot how to combine words into coherent sentences. Having recovered at last, I offer a brief overview of the magical mystery tour we experienced that memorable evening. Trinity College boasts the library of my dreams. Old books rock. The historic Temple Bar district is hig...

I ♥ writing. When engaged in the former, I have no time for the latter, which makes me :o{. If you don't recognize the above image, this means you've never checked out the trippy 80s classic The Labyrinth. Eager for those pesky gemlins to restore my freedom, I press on . to Tuscany.
