"Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream"
-The Bangles, "Manic Monday" (or, as my sister used to call it, "Man Named Monday")

A city girl's search for paradise at home and around the world.
My Blog List
About When in Rome
Whether you travel to another part of the world, or to your next door neighbor's house, there's always something worthwhile waiting. The search for paradise - personal, spiritual and experimental - can be exhausting, but if you have a little fun in your search you never know what you might find. This blog is about those experiences.
About Me
- Frogger
- "Frogger" is a nickname I got after my first trip to Paris, when my overeager self dashed through traffic across a 4-lane rotary, narrowly escaping death in a way that reminded my girlfriends of the quintessential Atari game. I'd like to think I earned a 100-point bonus. I'm a journalist who savors different countries, cultures and life experiences on my path to personal paradise, and I invite you to join me. I promise we won't get run over.
