After London, Mike and I travelled to Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

It has been so cold in NY, that just the thought of wearing my flip flops again in Mexico made me smile. I love the sun and the water and the sand. We spent most of the time relaxing and swimming, but we did play a little golf and ran a few times. We needed some exercise after all of the pina coladas (my favorite!) and chips and guacamole.

The resort that we stayed at had a lot of wild life. Iguanas. Some strange animal (see if you can see it in the blog post) that looked like it was part squirrel but much bigger. Beautiful birds. Geckos.

I feel totally recharged.

Fabulous! Were you referring to Mike, or that cute little cross between a mouse/dear/wombat/groundhog-looking thing? Love all of the pictures!

We saw those weird little animals when we were there too! I can't remember what they were called, but we were told!

@ Erica - We stayed at The Royal Hideaway Resort.
@ Timmi - Haha
@ Nicola - I knew what it was called at one point too. It was the weirdest looking animal.
@ Efrat - Good catch! Wasn't mine but it was someone else's! Those birds were stealing everyone's food.

LONDON

Personal |

April 1, 2011

"Speaking of new experiences... I ate at an Indian restaurant. I had Naan!" -- Hank Hooper, Jack's new boss on 30 Rock

Yes, it's true, I too had a new experience. And I actually felt like I was bonding with Hank on 30 Rock for a millisecond when I heard that quote the other day. I had Indian food (and Naan!) for the first time EVER while I was in London. I am deathly allergic to all nuts, peas, beans, and lentils and am always nervous about eating Indian food. Since London is known for its Indian food (and it's Mike's favorite food), we went to an awesome restaurant. I LOVED it.

And I love London. I love the people. I love the fashion (trenches and leopard print scarves were everywhere!). I love the architecture. I love the way they do things.

*We did lots of sightseeing and hanging out with my sister Jennifer who lives in London and Mike's sister Emily who was there for work.

*We ran in Hyde Park and loved watching all of the yellow vested people cycling and running to work with large backpacks on.

*We ate fish and chips with the skin still on the fish and vinegar on the chips! I have never seen that before.

*We had high tea service at Brown's Hotel. I loved the clotted cream and strawberry jam on the warm scones.

*We rode the London Eye.

*We saw Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Covent Garden, Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar Square.

*We rode Tube and loved reading all of the names of the lines and stops. Much more fun to have a line called 'Baker Loo' than 'the red line'.

*We toured Kensington, Nottinghill and Portobello market. I would like to live in Kensington.

*We looked at the Picassos and the Van Gogh paintings at the National Gallery and Tate Modern.

*We walked across the Millennium Bridge.

*We walked on Drury Lane and didn't see the muffin man!

*We rode on a double decker bus.

*We shopped at Harvey Nichols and Harrods.

*We drank Pimms, flat whites, and Shandies.

*We ate a Gordon Ramsey restaurant and were completely 'wowed' by the food and the service.

London, I already miss you and can't wait to come back. Such fun!!!

Note: Most of these are taken on my point and shoot! ;)

What a great set of photos! They really capture what it's like to live in London. Don't you love the blue plaques like the one about Chopin that you captured?

SKIING IN SWITZERLAND

Personal |

March 23, 2011

Here are some of my favorite shots from my recent trip to Switzerland. I just love to ski. I started skiing at Whister Blackcomb when I was three, and I have been hooked ever since. It is so thrilling and relaxing to be up on top of the mountain skiing down fast, listening to the sound of the snow, and breathing in the fresh air. Every year I go on a ski trip with a group of my friends. This year since I was photographing Lotta and Anton's Wedding in Sweden, we decided to do our annual trip to Verbier, Switzerland.

Skiing in the Alps was incredible. The snow capped mountains. The raclette (cheese) served apres ski with little pickles, potatoes, and pearl onions. The vin chaud. The sun. The powder. The fondue. The fresh air. The french language. There is nothing like a ski trip with amazing friends.

SNOW DAY!

New York City | Personal |

January 27, 2011

We sure have been getting a lot of snow in New York! When I went out this morning, the snow was dazzling, blowing, whirling. I love when it snows here. The city slows down just a little.

'Find life experiences and swallow them whole. Travel. Meet many people. Go down some dead ends and explore dark alleys. Try everything. Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life.' - Lawrence K. Fish

Michael and I went to Greece over a year ago. When we arrived in Santorini, the view out to the Caldera took my breath away. Enjoy.
