Cinque Terre
Looking back at photos from March 2008, I realized didn't really post any from our Italian trip to Cinque Terre. Jeff and I hiked between the five cities--all built on cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean and connected by walking trails. We stayed in the middle city, Vernazza, in a small B&B. I ate fresh calamari at least four times! Lots of fish, pesto, and good wine, as you might imagine.

Frankfurt Book Fair 2009
I'm in Germany visiting our oldest daughter, who lives in downtown Heidelberg. Earlier this week, I drove to the Frankfurt Book Fair and spent the day. My favorite part of the visit: watching the exhibitions put on by China, the guest of honor for 2009.

This dancer changed masks about fifteen times, I kid you not!

Lion dancers -- One guy for the back section of the lion, another for the front section. Talk about coordination.

This man played beautifully. A simple stringed instrument, but quite a range of sounds.

The California Redwoods
On our trip up the California & Oregon coastline last month, we drove through the redwoods. I can't remember ever seeing them before. Although my father told me we saw the trees when I was younger. Must have been the aborted trip to San Francisco when all four of us children misbehaved so badly that our parents threatened to return home early if we didn't shape up. I didn't believe them (neither did Dan, Beth, or Susan) --but Mom and Dad kept their word! So I must have been sulking on our way through the big trees... Note to younger self: sulking never helps.
A gorgeous sight. Glad I got another chance!

Eye Candy

Go to this link to see some gorgeous book covers.
Wish I could figure out a way to talk Powell's into giving me the leftover book promotion posters--that's what I'd use to wallpaper our house (not necessarily kidding)!
