the swimming was awesome and we met some very nice locals.

Used to visit NYC with my expouse. sigh No excuse to go nowadays, but the Met was one of my favorite places to spend hours, when I could convince him to go. The art garden, the Temple of Dendur. MASSIVE sigh simply wonderful.

went to school here for my senior year (‘90-91) on a year’s exchange program from college. Wonderful small town, lots of history (there’s an old OLD castle in old-town that Cromwell blew up) and the people can be quite friendly (more so since I was Californian and not English =) ). Lots of good walking to be done. I’d recommend pubbing around by the waterfront.

quiet suburban, near to BART and other public transport, the sushi restaurants are ok, and I feel safe here.

Venice and florence only. Want to go back to Venezia for Carnevale!

well worth it. saw the queens guard march down from the castle to meet her majesty’s yacht… soooo cool.

...but that was before the 1986 earthquake. dunno now. Was really polluted, is one of the things I remember. shrug

I’d love to go again – we spent most of our one day, shopping for shoes or something as my travelling companion had a mishap. Saw bloody little actual history.

cymry wales…
aberystwyth – 9 months on a year abroad… felt more like home than home did.
sigh

now I’m getting all “homesick”...

yum. wish I’d had more than one day here.
