There was a lot of nostalgia eating on this college visit trip to the big apple. We got to spend time with old friends we haven't seen in far too long and meet in real life new friends from the virtual world. I revisited many places that I have loved from many New York visits over the years.
The peripatetic expat life is an exciting and sometime glamorous one. But. Sometimes it can be a disorienting and tiring one. One remedy that I have employed against feeling that way has been going to the same place over and over (and over) again. Instead of visiting friends in gers in Mongolia or shopping in New Dehli or trekking in Nepal, we return, like swallows, to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
We are in the states for a few weeks doing the college visits tour.
We started in Boston. These are the things we loved.
After the windy drive from Rome to Positano, my husband Mark's first priority is a cold beer on the beach. Last week we headed straight to La Brezza Net Art Cafe for a Menabrea on tap and a plate of cold figs and salty proscuitto.
On my recent trip to Venice to see the 55th Biennale, my friends did all the where to sleep and seeing art organizing and research. They left the where to eat in Venice research to me. Thankfully my pal Elizabeth did all the hard work for me and all I had to do was download her App, Eat Venice and I was pretty much set. I also called on my other well traveled pal Rick, who shared some of his best recommendations.
