i am delinquent in posting these pictures, but i had the pleasure of spending the july 4th long weekend in cape cod. it was something out of a classic american novel – beautiful beaches (and freezing ocean water!), fresh fruit, campfires and smores, and fried seafood and lobster rolls. it was the perfect way to unwind after a busy stretch at work.

and just like that, this blog is five years old. i started it my final year of law school, and i would have never guessed that i would still be doing it now. thank you visiting this little corner of the internet. i know some of you, but most of you, i do not. i hope that this space continues to bring a bit of interest, beauty, and joy to your day.
it is perhaps fitting that this post is filled with pictures from philaldephia. i went back for my 5 year reunion and remembered just how much i love that city.
the liberty bell
independence hall
love all these murals around the city
dinner at vedge
my favorite dessert ever. salted caramel budino at barbuzzo.
blurry shot of the skyline from our hotel
homemade sourdough english muffins at the urban farmer
cinnamon ricotta doughnuts at talula’s garden
beautiful old architecture

after ha long bay, we headed to hanoi. it was a few days before the lunar new year, so everything was draped in red, flowers, and oranges. i loved the french influences downtown, and i think the cafes served some of the best croissants i have ever had outside of paris.

we stayed at the beautiful vin pearl ha long bay resort during our first stop in vietnam. it was probably the closest i have ever felt to living out a james bond movie. a small boat takes you to the resort, which occupies its own island in the bay. for some reason, the resort was pretty unoccupied most of the time we were there, so we had the beach entirely to ourselves. i was definitely too busy relaxing to take many pictures.

as promised, below are a few photos of some of the delish food we had in chiang mai. most of it came from markets or street stands, though we did have an amazing meal at ginger & safe.
i was also delighted to see so many brooklyn/new york style coffee shops. one of them was even serving stumptown coffee!

as i went through my asia photos, i realized that i had the most photos of chiang mai. as a vegetarian, it was my favorite place to eat (my next post will be devoted to food photos) since there were so many vegetarian and vegan outdoor cafes. the city was completely walkable, and there was so much to do and see nearby.

i spent an amazing 2.5 weeks at the end of january traveling through southeast asia. as with my trip last year to italy and malta, i plan to devote each post to a different city. we started the journey in bangkok, but since we were so jet lagged and only had a day, phuket was the first city i documented.
we stayed right on the beach, and took an amazing tour to the islands to see the sights.

i cherish every weekend i get to visit nashville, my hometown. especially when it is for a dear friend’s wedding. on this trip, i was lucky to hit up most of my favorite places.

i don’t know what it was about this trip, but i absolutely fell head over heels for rome. i remember being unimpressed when i visited in college, and now i realize how completely wrong i was. the city is unspeakably beautiful, and there was so much to do and see. i could have easily spent the full 2 weeks here alone and been more than satisfied.
sorry this is such a picture heavy post. i wanted to put all of these up just to remember what an amazing experience it was.
