January saw the New Year dawn on Nantucket Island. We rang in 2007 at Cinco, a delightful tapas joint. You'd think tapas on Nantucket would be sort of odd, but it's not. It's good.
Late January was the ill-fated annual Vermont ski weekend. Ill-fated because a benign sledding trip to the local golf course led me straight to the emergency room and some nice hardware I'm still toting around in my ankle. Not that I was ever a skier, but that pretty much sealed the deal.
It is no great surprise, then, that February and March were light on travel. Crutches can do that to a girl.
Luckily, all was redeemed with the April trip to Croatia with a brief run through Slovenia. Delightful.
May and June were chock full of time in Pennsylvania for work. Let's just say I don't have a lot to say about Wilkes-Barre. Hampton Inn isn't too bad. Enough said.There was an upswing in June with a wedding in Berkeley followed by a few days in Napa Valley. Much eating and drinking. Lots of sun. Can't go wrong.
August saw a baby shower in Boston early on. Then, at the end of the month, a lovely week in Nantucket, doing the lazing about thing. Complete with a visit to what I still maintain is the best restaurant on the island - Oran Mor. Foie gras with figs on Portugese toast - done and done.
In October it was off for a month in Peru. Many details to follow. Learned a little Espanol, hiked some mountains, ate some guinea pig, saved a sloth.
One more trip in December to Nantucket and then we wrapped the year with visitors in our new hometown, Philadelphia.
So, the updated map of the world:
