Portofino

Portofino, Italia, July 2006


We went to Portofino on a day that the Brits would describe as 'changeable': the weather kept going from sunny to rainy. The fortunate effect of this was that we got the beach to ourselves.

Lille, France

Lille, France


S and I went to Lille a few years ago for our annual November trip. We rode Segways, marveled at the amusing Bombay tribute on the main street, walked among giant statues in one of the parks, and spent quality time sipping hot cocoa and cappuccinos. Very pleasant, indeed.

Winchester, January 2006


S and I went to Winchester a few years ago for our 'between birthdays day,' a tradition which we have not really managed to maintain. Read more about our outing on my blog here and click on the photo for a larger version on flickr.

We visited my grandfather in Montana a few years ago. A few of us spent a day fishing.

I spent most of the day taking pictures, including the colorful rocks at the bottom of the clear river (this week's photo, top.)

Despite my father's best efforts, lilsis was the only person to catch a fish that day. I was quite relieved not to catch any fish. It turns out that I prefer live fish swimming, or dead fish wrapped in rice and seaweed, but not the in-between stage. I'd make a terrible hunter. Just as well, really.


Off to the supermarket!
