Voter up!

My ballot finally arrived today and the sight of it made me jump with glee. Now I just wonder if they'll actually count my vote...

Applets

Happy wedding!

Congrats to Andrea and Morena (and little Esther!). Note the 'photographer' in the background there - he was one of the random Dutch tourists sunbathing in the middle of the wedding reception (in 60 degree weather!).

Bookish

The only good side to Andrea's school books is their blue tones.

Birthday ribbon

Happy bday Chiara Megan!

Hangin' NY

Thanks Elina for the cool keychain!

You're welcome!

Love this Thank You card we got from Mer, Carlos & Mopez!

Netted Baby

Must be hard to feel so jailed in!

Baby Time

(Gaia and Zio Andrea)
The twins come to visit!

Silver stream

While cleaning the bedroom today this silver bubbled platter caught my eye.

Returned!

Back home where she belongs!

eMOTIONal

Decided to take this picture of a Frida Kahlo painting postcard without the flash and the result was funky!

Grilling

Coolest. Invitation. Ever.

Forgot to get a pic of this one prior to our trip. Behold the spark that set the idea in motion: Adam & Eliza's awesome comic book invitation!

Golden Gate

Mission Mural

Seeing as we spent all day today on airplanes/in airports, you're going to get a recycled picture from this week's San Francisco load. Same goes for tomorrow!

Dum dum duh dum...

Congratulations Adam and Eliza!

Boy walking

In the Yerba Buena Arts Center park on our way to see the SFMoma Frida Kahlo exhibit.

Pagoda

A walk through the very relaxing Japanese Tea Gardens (including stopping for some hot green tea!) inside Golden Gate Park.

Alcatraz!

I admit it, Andrea took this one - but considering I was feverish and just barely able to keep myself awake, I think I can be forgiven. Oh, and, yes, feeling that sick only made Alcatraz feel that much creepier!

Mission Dolores

Cemetary around the back of the Mission Dolores church - oldest surviving building in San Francisco.

Sea Lions

No idea why these guys are a permanent installation out on Pier 39...but they're cute!

San Francisco!

Arrival at the fantastic Argonaut Hotel.

Planty

Our newest edition from Paolo and Alessandra. Name TBD!

Fuud!

Table set up nice for dinner with friends at our place.

A/C!

My lifesaver and BFF for the past 3+ months!

Umbria Best

The newspaper I translate. Last edition's front page was from the Infiorata.

NY

Black and white New York themed corner of our living room.

Colorful

Very cute bookstore bag.

Darkness

It was only about 6:30pm when I took this - and very stormy!
