Globetrottin’

Picturesque Pinhão

Took the train up the Duoro Valley to Pinhão, where we stayed at a hotel with it’s own entrance off the station. We visited four vineyards in 24 hours, and tasted many of the fruits of the region.

O Porto

Took the train from Lisbon to Porto, for more fancy fish dinners, warm nights, and sweet fortified wines.

Lovely Lisbon

Taking a week off elections work to visit with friends, eat seafood, and drink wine.

Istanbul Once More

I keep finding myself in Istanbul, thanks to generous layovers on Turkish Airlines. This is fourth time in ten years, and I now feel like I know at least the European side of the city.

This Year in Jerusalem

I planned a trip to Israel with my mother, who had never been. She was so upset at the wars in the 70s that she swore not to go until they “made peace” with their neighbors. In the 40 years since, it became clear that wasn’t going to happen, and so we are here together for Mothers’ Day.
