In no particular no order. And as you'll see, some things made the list that not everyone would think was comment-worthy. But here we go.............
Favorite picture of us: Taken on the terrace of the Il Sanpietro di Positano, in Positano, Italy
Best Market: I can't really choose, but I'll say it's a tie between the Rialto Fish Market in Venice and the Saturday market in the Jordaan district in Amsterdam
Best cheese (like I said, maybe not important to everyone - but I'm kind of obsessed with cheese): Without a doubt, the fresh pecorino that they make in Pienza, Italy. I would weigh 300 pounds if I lived here
Most unique city that not many people (especially Americans) visit: Lisbon. Beautiful and gritty at the same time
Best wine tasting this year: Montalcino, Italy. Here is Camigliano Winery, which I'm sure Pat would buy if he could
Most picturesque city that you need to see before it's gone: Venice, Italy. All of my pictures were perfect
Best outdoor activity: Umm, beer drinking, of course!
Most scenic spot for a cocktail: Hard to choose, but I'm going with the top of the Ritz Carlton in Moscow, over looking Red Square
Best ballet/symphony/opera that I saw this year: Again, in Moscow, at the Bolshoi Theatre. Giselle
The place that I 'd like to explore more of, because I really thought it was cool: Stockholm, Sweden
Best vacation, and the trip where Pat relaxed (so we need to repeat it): Amalfi Coast/Positano, Italy
My favorite place to escape Russia for the weekend: Amsterdam. I could live there, no problem
Best history lesson trip: Berlin, Germany
Best 1AM glass of wine in total daylight: Mansarda restaurant in St. Petersburg, Russia, on June 21st
Best White Night photos from St. Petersburg this year: both were taken around 2:30 - 3:00 am
See you in 2014!
Beautiful year and beautiful pictures !
