before/after: italian dolomites edition

In & around Corvara and San Cassiano over the Brenner Pass from the Austrian border.
Beautiful mountains, exhilarating air, insane snowy roads, so much pork.
Next stop…Liverpool?

Sunday: to the Dolomites

On the road again

Home in NYC for a great month. Now it's somehow February & I'm back in motion. To properly re-discombobulate myself I stayed up all night Thurs, slept a few hours on Fri and took an early morning Sat flight to London. Tonight I'm at Yotel, the newish "pod" hotel in Gatwick. Japanese-style capsule hotel in a grim mall area of a British airport. Surprisingly good shower. Brought to you by the folks from the not-very-good kaiten zushi chain, Yo. Early flight tomorrow to Innsbruck, where I'll get a car, drive to the Italian Dolomites & eat speck as soon as possible.

The morning after

Survived 07. Pretty strange year for me. Some terrible—but so much good. More on all of that later. Happy new year, imaginary readers.
