Morocco – Spring Break 2018

Posted onApril 2, 2018May 11, 2018AuthorKBKLeave a comment

I have been terrible about updating the blog. We went to Morocco for Spring Break and it was cool to see all of the differences in one small(ish) country. You’ve got beaches (the beach at Imi Ouaddar did NOT smell good) Deserts Mountains Palmeraie Gorges Even a town that looked and felt like we were Read More …

Snoop: New York and Chicago

Posted onAugust 23, 2017April 22, 2018AuthorKBKLeave a comment

We could not possibly have had a better time. 6 shows in 5 days, vegan dim sum and black & white cookies galore. The photos speak for themselves: I got to talk to THE Gavin Creel! King George was excellent! Dear Evan Hansen! I am obsessed. And, I got to meet Jennifer Laura Thompson! Come Read More …

The Great Italian Gelato Throwdown, Part 2 – Florence

Posted onJuly 24, 2017August 10, 2017AuthorKBKLeave a comment

As the birthplace of gelato, we expected Florence to have the very best gelato. It did not disappoint. For this visit, we were in town forless than 24 hours, so, we had to hit it hard. First, Dei Neri – Via dei Neri, 9/11, 50122 – had one of the best pistachios ever, and, the Read More …

The Great Italian Gelato Throwdown – Part 1, Rome

Posted onJuly 21, 2017August 10, 2017AuthorKBKLeave a comment

“When in Rome, live as the Romans do; when elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.” – St. Ambrose. Our interpretation of this astute quotation is – since gelato was created in the 16th century, for, no less a being than Catherine dei Medici, and we’d love to live like a Medici, we must eat all Read More …

Snoop: Bergen, Norway

Posted onJuly 20, 2016April 22, 2018AuthorKBKLeave a comment

I LOVE BERGEN. I would live there if I could. Well, I would live there in the summer. Even though it was mostly cold and rainy, I would love to stay there for a month or two or three every year. We got to hang out with my mom’s friends, Shari and Per and their Read More …

Snoop: Budapest, Hungary

Posted onJuly 16, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Two words: ESCAPE GAMES! We played a couple of different Escape Rooms this time in Budapest. Wicklewood from Claustrophilia was fantastic. We were just inches from getting the final key out – we needed about 30 more seconds and we would have been triumphant. The Pirate Cave is even cooler. It is heavily themed and Read More …

Snoop: Romania

Posted onJuly 14, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Romania is a little bit different than what I expected. I thought it was going to be more Slavic, but, our guide told us that they were “an island of Latinity in a Slavic Sea.” Hearing the language spoken, there were definite similarities to Italian, so, I could pick up words and phrases here and Read More …

Snoop: Bulgaria

Posted onJuly 3, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Bulgaria is beautiful. I love the people and the scenery. The drivers are still rowdy, however I believe them to be more cautious than in the rest of the Balkans. I did not like the food as much in Bulgaria as I did in the rest of the Balkans. The cities themselves did not seem Read More …

Snoop: Serbia

Posted onJune 30, 2016July 13, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Serbia has at least one great hotel in Nis. Since we were only there for one night, that was basically all we saw. For our one outdoor excursion, we went to see the Tower of Skulls. I would only recommend going if you are staying right near it, as most of the so called tower Read More …

Snoop: Macedonia

Posted onJune 29, 2016July 13, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Macedonia looks just like Albania. The people aren’t as nice, but luckily, there is some variety to the food to make up for it. The people drive like maniacs, yet I have not seen any accidents. My favorite part of Macedonia was the beautiful boat ride we took on our only day in Ohrid. I Read More …
