After six years if frustration, I finally made it to Richard Meier’s dazzling, elegant church commissioned to celebrate the new millennium. It was dedicated in October of 2003, is located in a working class neighborhood, Tor Tre Teste, six miles east of Rome. Not an easy drive with terrible traffic. WELL worth the effort to see, however! A masterpiece…..

Bud and I took part in a marvelous six day adventure, ballooning in Switzerland in mid June 2009. We were fortunate to join Sibby and Bob Brasler in an auction item to benefit the Arthur Ashe Junior Tennis Program in Philadelphia. We celebrated Sibby’s birthday on the 16th of June and Bud’s 80th on the 17th of June!!! Our masterful pilot, Stan Hess, and his “chaser” wife, Mary, led us on our adventure. Joining us as well, Kim and Neal Blackwell, helping Stan and Mary.

We love visiting Maesa Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The elephants are well cared for and are totally accessible to visitors. It is an enchanting experience. During their show, six of the elephants paint, an amazing thing to see.

The Temple of Dawn, Wat Arun (Arunratchawararam) on the west side of the Cho Phraya River is one of the most recognizable monuments in Bangkok. It is stunning to see, with its porcelain and colored glass mosaics covering the prangs, rows of figures, sculptures of animals and its dizzyingly steep staircases to the upper two terraces of the 260′ main prang. One is rewarded with marvelous views and the sense of accomplishment for having climbed them…

We visit Melbourne every year to cover the Australian Open. It is a wonderful city, Sister City to Boston, cultivated, great eating and dining, quantities of public art and the most wonderful friends we’ve made there. It is a highlight to go there every year.
