Kelley and I wanted to go somewhere Christmas-ie in December and what better place (we thought) than Rome and the Vatican. Well… it turns out there was probably more Christmas spirit in Galway than Rome but it was still a great trip. You cannot go wrong with Italian wine, food, and a dash of chaos…

Failte! That’s “Welcome” in Gallic! It has been a while since I made a guest appearance on the blog and a lot has happened since the Spring of 2016 in Tel Aviv… the biggest difference is that my wander-lusting parents moved us to Galway, Ireland where it rains…. a lot… based on my paw count…
