Still Freezing in Todi
(notes from March 2025) But unfortunately, Sam developed food poisoning or something and had an incredibly epic barfing episode here which I have neglected to document 😀 Anyway, she has been a nonstop upchucking marvel ever since!! She’s gone about 36 hours without eating much of anything, but she’s somehow still not empty lol But… Continue reading

An Angry Nonna
For a guy trying to do a photo blog, this is pretty embarrassing: I have hardly any pictures to back any of this up! I guess if I’d known how epic this day would be, I’d have the whole thing on video 😀 But by now in Todi we had fallen into a rhythm, we’d… Continue reading

Couple of New Restaurants
(notes from March 2025) There was an intriguing-looking restaurant kind of across the street from Ristorante Scalette called the Osteria Valle. The menu looked good but we could never figure out if and when it was open. The few times we saw people inside, we couldn’t figure out how to enter! We had actually circled… Continue reading

We Visited the Todi Duomo
Then it was back to the flat for our work day. As luck would have it, the stock markets are melting down at the moment so I’m sort of in a “batten down the hatches” mode. And speaking of luck… I completely tested out all my equipment in Rome, everything was all well and good—but… Continue reading

Second Full Day in Todi
(notes from March 2025) By the time we were awake enough to leave the flat, it was time for lunch–remember we’re trying to keep our timezone closer to the US than to Italy, to make Sam’s meetings easier. If we can sleep in to 11:00AM or so, it makes Zoom calls after midnight a lot… Continue reading

First Meals in Todi
(notes from March 2025) We found this corner charcuterie place with a very gregarious proprietor, and Sam talked him into making us a quick tray of samplers for lunch! He was the third generation running this shop, and was pretty proud of that (as he should be!). We had a fun lunch in this dude’s… Continue reading

Final Day in Rome, Then Off to Todi!
We got up kind of late, sort of on purpose: Sam’s clients are mostly on US time, so there’s little point in us adjusting to local European time if she’s gonna be on calls till 1:00AM every night–better for us to sleep in and try to stay more on a US-based schedule. That works better… Continue reading

First Day in Rome
Jet-lag is killing us, day two is always the absolute worst! But we did get out for meals at least, and those were interesting. It’s been a very long time since we were served something we didn’t know how to eat 😂 It’s artichoke season here in Italy and so we ordered the special appetizer… Continue reading

First Night in Rome
We woke up this morning in Cincinnati, now we are looking for dinner in Rome! Travel days are just so bizarre! They are wonderful, but still so tiring and so strange… anyway, we headed out for a late dinner somewhere. For whatever reason, I have always been anti-Rome. Last time we visited (albeit at least… Continue reading
