Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Here… the water is salty. the wine is delightful. the pastry is outstanding. it’s a lovely blend of quiet and boisterous. it’s so reminiscent of Greece. our accommodations are made for 2 in a most perfect way. the walkways can be slippery. Shoes with some grip on the sole are my recommendation. the beaches are … Continue reading Pronto Polignano
I had briefly mentioned that N. and I had spent some recent time in North Adams, MA. I’m back now with all the deets, because you just might want to take some notes and replicate the experience we had. It was really that good.
