I wasn’t sure I would make a blog post today, since the majority of my day was spent driving home. But how could I pass up posting about my last morning walk and delicious breakfast in Québec?
Québec 2025: Day 4

Québec 2025: Day 3
I spent the day today surrounded by farmlands, vineyards, and waterfalls. Just a 15-minute drive from downtown Québec lies Île d’Orléans, a 74 square mile island in the St. Lawrence River that feels worlds away from the crowds of Old Québec.
Québec 2025: Day 2
They say a couple of days is plenty of time to see the highlights of Québec and I would agree. I’ve been here for a day and a half and I feel like I’ve seen most of what I came here to see.
Québec 2025: Day 1
Bonjour from North America’s most European city: Québec! For years, I have been wanting to explore and photograph Old Québec, and this is the week!
Cape Ann in a Day
You don’t have to go far to feel like you’re on vacation. Even though I was in Gloucester (MA) just three days ago, today I was back playing tourist in my own backyard. Gloucester is about a 20 minute drive from home, but today it felt like being much further away as I explored an old castle, took a boat tour, and ate some delicious seafood.
Chicago 2025: Day 5
Picture this: a day that starts with a flight of French toast and ends with tiramisu. What could be better? That sums up my last day in Chicago, along with a visit to the zoo and a sail on Lake Michigan.
Boston (Summer 2025): Day 3
Day 3 of going into Boston and today I tossed tea into Boston Harbor. Well, not real tea. And not actually into the water. But I reenacted the Boston Tea Party at the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum. I also had a yummy breakfast and drank a flight of cider, all while attempting to survive the high heat and humidity in the city.
Boston (Summer 2025): Day 1
Happy 4th of July! I’ve spent Independence Day everywhere from Yosemite National Park to Dublin, Ireland to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland to Munich, Germany to Denali National Park, but this year I’ll be spending it in one of the most historic cities in the U.S.: Boston, Massachusetts. I’ve done the concert and fireworks on the Esplanade in the past so today will be more of a low-key celebration.
A Day in Portland, Maine
Since I don’t have any major trips planned for this summer, I’ve decided this will be the summer of day trips and local adventures. And my first stop is none other than one of my favorite New England cities, Portland, Maine. Since I’ve been to Portland many times before I wanted to do a couple of things I hadn’t done before.
Amsterdam 2025: Day 7
Another cloudy morning, but that didn’t stop me from going out for one last walk around the Amsterdam canals before heading to the airport.
