I will take a funicular ride to these trails and take a run - hopefully twice! There will be wine with lunch...followed by late afternoon naps. I will spend hours outdoors walking around to see as many of Gaudi's buildings as possible. Should there be rain, I will check out the Picasso museum. I will … Continue reading Next week when I’m in Barcelona…

Le Petit Bistro – Rhinebeck
Have you been to Rhinebeck? Long before Hudson got cool, Rhinebeck was the destination for a Hudson Valley afternoon of fine eating and interesting shopping. The drive is lovely with many different roads which all lead there in a most scenic fashion, as I’ve experienced it, be it from the north, south or west and … Continue reading Le Petit Bistro – Rhinebeck

Eating with abandon – an entire pint of Cherry Garcia, burgers actually on buns, … Continue reading Things I miss

The Times Union's Steve Barnes had mentioned Husk to … Continue reading Sunday supper – Husk, Nashville
