1. To walk about at large, to roam without restraint; to move about freely in space, wander at will. 2. To speak or write at some length; to enlarge; to be copious in description or discussion. I spent the morning expatiating, in both senses of the word, with my friend Camilla in the Villa Pamphili [...]

Today was beautiful. Daylong full sun, a few big cumulous clouds drifting by, sandwiched between rainy days. This morning I went on an epic shopping run, stopping at two open-air markets for fruit and vegetables, the GS supermarket, and a toy store (for the birthday party tomorrow), pulling my heavy cart behind me. When I [...]

Going to Venice for a long weekend is like being transported to a different realm. In this immersed city, we immersed ourselves in grand-scale Renaissance art, long winding walks, gelato, spritz (Amaro—a bittersweet red liqueur—and prosecco), and seafood. What everyone says about the acoustics stands out as a strong sense memory: without the sound of [...]
random sightings and a bad meal

Everyone says it’s impossible to get a bad meal in Italy. That’s not true. After spending a wonderful morning in the galleries of the Museo Borghese, feasting our eyes on the Caravaggios, like his “Self Portrait as Bacchus,” and on the sculptures Bernini carved—improbably rendering marble as smooth and pliant as flesh—we took the bus [...]

Tropical Storm Danny is pouring long ropes of rain down the walls of the Truro Public Library. I’m taking advantage of the wireless, while Jack negotiates with the hordes of other kids for a few more minutes with the trains. He’s into non-fiction lately, so we’ve just read books about tornadoes, hurricanes, the first railroads, [...]
Pane e Salute

A meal at this osteria is a total immersion experience. It was a celebration for us, so we went all out, from the delicate prosecco to the late-night liqueurs: with wine pairings, sopressata, chanterelles and homemade papardelle, wild sockeye salmon, sour cherry cake, and espresso in between. Everything about the restaurant is an expression of [...]

Going to Pane e Salute tonight with Peter. A little taste of Italy in Woodstock, Vermont. An aperitivo to our trip! Check in tomorrow to see what was on the menu.

The other day, I went back to visit friends from high school, whom I hadn’t seen in about fourteen years, in the town I haven’t visited much since then. Why not, I can’t really explain. It was one of the strongest experiences of sense-memory: watching the curve of the off-ramp come into view; feeling the [...]
