On Sunday afternoon Stan and I took an architectural boat tour around the entire island of Manhattan. It was so much fun, and we learned lots of history about the waterfront New York.

***the tour was through Classic Harbor Lines if you are interested, and led by AIA architects***

This time last week I had just arrived in the a place I hold near and dear to my heart, the ancient city of ROMA! I wish I could snap my fingers and appear back on the cobblestone streets right now. The trip was full of great friends, fabulous food (lots of pasta), red wine, ancient history, relaxation, cappuccinos and for me… A SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT!

Happy St. Patty’s Day!!

-From a happy girl because of the sunny filled weather forecast in NYC! It’s about time. Out for a fabulous “girls day” with my visitor for the week…Mom!!
