We spent the last ten days with The Stepkids, driving from London to Berlin, stopping (for shows) in Vlieland – a remote Dutch island for the Into the Great Wide Open festival – Amsterdam, Wuppertal and Erfurt. We’re back and missing it, of course — warm sunlight pale with autumn, crisp evenings, good beer and herring, sliced fresh and served with sweet pickles, empty beaches … Continue reading the netherlands + germany.
We spent the last two weeks working our way east across Europe. Stepkids had a tour that ended in Lisbon and vvitalny had a performance in Warsaw ten days later. With a little luck and some family members well-positioned for visiting, we were on our way, each step taking us deeper into our stock of warm winter weather wear. From pastéis de belém to pretzels … Continue reading lisbon. munich. warsaw.

This time, the (rickety, 15-passengar) van took us through Los Angeles, San Diego and Tucson, with some memorable moments both food and otherwise. The American southwest is lovely!

Oh la la, where to begin? A week in Paris and too many delicious things to keep track of them all! There are a few musts for Paris: hours spent in a market, charcuterie, crêpes, a truly spectacular croissant, an equally spectacular baguette, and, apparently (this was news to us), falafel. And macarons. (Really, the only must in Paris is macarons.) We arrived just at … Continue reading paris.
The Stepkids finished up a mini-tour in Chicago June 9th at Lincoln Hall, which left us with a van-full of equipment to drive back to Bridgeport, CT. Foodie road trip was born. Here’s what we learned about the northern Midwest and upstate New York: 1. chicken is the American meat; 2. there is, apparently, no seltzer outside of our East Coast existence; and 3. Michigan … Continue reading chicago to new york.
