Springtime in Spain

We've been celebrating this lovely springtime weather for 2 months now. And keeping our travels a little closer to home......


A quick day trip to Aranjuez (just 45 min south of Madrid)



and a weekend in the Basque Country for the "Bilbao Bilbao" bike race

Work and Play

My 2 last work trips were to LA and Dubai. How great that I could catch up with close friends while I was there! Unfortunately, I was left with only my BB camera.



Liz and Chris took me to Susan Feniger's "Street" in LA for a new twist on street food from around the world. Highly recommended. We spent the weekend shopping and dining in Malibu and checking out a great travel bookstore that Liz has found. Such good hosts and I can't wait to get over there again soon!


Next to Dubai where I could visit with Katia and her adorable kids. We only had 1 night together, but it was sooo sooo nice to catch up. We went for sushi by the Dubai Mall fountains. (Katia is a good friend of mine from my Genoa days)
