Sâmbǎtǎ on the Calea Victoriei (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my last post I featured a photo I took of a badassed little street pigeon in Bucharest: In this post I’d like to show another side of Bucharest, and so I’m opening with a different Bucharest street pigeon - they’re all the same species, btw, even with the different coloration. This one liked to loft down from above, from the fringes of a building under renovation, swooping down on morsels and crumbs hitting pavement between the feet of diners at street cafes. <a class="image-link image2 is-vi
A Fulbright Goes to Bucharest (opens the original)
Read excerpt

One Wee Trip to Tokyo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently visited Tokyo with my mom and daughters. It was my first visit to Tokyo, first visit to Japan, first visit to anywhere in Asia — it was my first time past the bold, cold, wet line where the Pacific Ocean touches the North American continent, because, while I did once live in San Francisco and many times walked along the Pacific coast, I never set more than a toe in that ocean.I knew before I left that everything there would be new to me, so I wanted to take it slow.
