Tastes of Europe: A Food Tabblo

EuroTrip 2008: Budapest Tabblo

In June, after having spent a week in Ireland, I flew from Dublin to Budapest to meet up with a friend and attend the wedding of a couple he knew. We ended up spending three nights and the balance of three days in Budapest and Lajosmizse, where the wedding was. It was an incredible experience. You can read about my travels here. ...

Europe Trip 2008: Ireland Tabblo

I spent a week in Ireland with family from June 6-13, 2008. We stayed in the small seaside town of Baltimore, located in County Cork on the southwestern peninsula of the Emerald Isle. Here is a collection of pics (mostly mine but some taken by my Mom) of my travels around Cork, including the Beara Peninsula, Sherkin Island, Kinsale, Bantry, Glengariff, Skibbereen, and other places.

Fisherman's Feast

For the last 97 years, the members of the Fisherman's Club of Boston's North End have celebrated Madonna del Soccorso di Sciacca (Our Lady of Help of Sciacca, Sicily) with a big four-day festival. On Thursday evening the Madonna is taken from her home inside the Fisherman's Club, paraded around the streets, and then set in a chapel for the remainder of the feast. The next few days and nights see the streets filled with people listening to musical performances, eating all sorts of food from the vendors - fried calamari, rice balls, sausages - and enjoying other festivities.

The Feast culminates on Sunday night with the spectacular Flight of the Angel, in which a young girl is hoisted on a rope strung up between two buildings, and "flies" out and down to deliver an offering to the Madonna. I have the good fortune to live in the center of the action, in the corner building right across from the Fisherman's Club. Here is my gallery from this year's Feast. Enjoy!

Every Fourth of July (and several other times annually), the USS Constitution takes her Turnaround Cruise from her berth in Charlestown across Boston Harbor to Castle Island, where she turns and fires a 21-gun salute to the gathered crowd of
spectators.... See my Tabblo>

New Tabblo

Hm. I completely forgot about this partially-completed tabblo I had. I thought I lost all these pics when my MacBook exploded, but turns out I had already uploaded the pics. These were mainly just testing my Mom's camera. Some cool cars there though.

This is a series of pics from a car show in October of '06. I was mainly testing out the camera that my Mom let me use. Her "old" digital which is actually a very nice camera for serious photography. ... See my Tabblo>
