Places I've been
2026.04Italy
Bologna
Bologna surprised us more than expected. The hotel restaurant turned out to be worth eating at — fresh olive oil, proper balsamic, a good seabass. The next day we walked the porticoes and had the best tagliatelle ragù I've eaten anywhere. A city where the food history is actually in the food.
2025.09Greece
Athens
Athens is one of those cities where the old and the new sit right next to each other without much fuss. The Acropolis shows up unexpectedly between buildings as you walk around. We sat on the Areopagus rock at dusk eating olives. A good city to wander.
