With the internet back, you get pictures and nothing else

Internet at the villa was out for the past two days, and you would think that we were part of the Borg, wandering aimlessly when detached from the collective. We made do, and visited some local areas (including Florence and Castellina in Chianti), and I was finally able to upload pictures on our return from Florence yesterday. Being so flummoxed by lack of internet though, I have not prepared any thoughtful or engaging blog posts, so you will have to make do with photos from the past few days:
Villa blogging

Finally arrived at the Villa Fabbroni in the Chianti region of Italy to meet my family, after a lovely day in Genova. The internet access here is off and on, so I can’t really upload much until they fix it. Suffice it to say, we are eating well and having a nice time in a funny old villa. Check out my room for example…
a little over the top, no? I will try to blog more later if the internet holds out, I have some great pics to share…

Be careful in what order you upload pics to facebook
Images, juxtapositions, miscommunication — Stephen on May 16, 2011 @ 10:49 am — 1 comment
Meaning is often found in the juxtaposition of things. The following example is a case in point. Although I am sure my friend Fauzi didn’t intend to imply that he had fried up his cat in some exotic culinary creation, that was exactly the image I got from this part of my friend’s facebook feed:
Catskills mini trip
Images,Satori, ruins — Stephen on May 6, 2011 @ 7:58 am — 0 comments
I have friends in town from Europe, and a couple of days ago we took a short trip up towards Woodstock and the Catskills. I had never been to this part of New York State (or very much outside NYC to be honest), so it was nice to have the opportunity to explore a bit. I had heard amazing things about Woodstock the town (not to be confused with Woodstock the music festival which was many miles away), but I have to admit it didn’t seem like much other than a sad, overpriced tourist trap for aging hippies. The surrounding towns were much more interesting, especially Kingston, the first capital of New York. And even better, the surrounding landscape was breathtakingly beautiful. Just outside of Woodstock is a wonderful trail to a lookout point with ruins of a fancy hotel and a fantastic view of the surrounding area. I uploaded a bunch of photos of the trip, so if you want to see them click below to go to the full album.
