This Friday night, I enjoyed a delicious 'girls night' at Elaia & Olio. Over wine, cocktails and tagine, we discussed how overhelming it can be to keep up with all of our social media outlets and I lamented the abondment of my "Travel Home" blog. One of the ladies said that she had enjoyed the blog and suggested I bring it back- I was just glad to know someone was reading it. Back by popular demand is my blog, may it inspire you to do a little 'traveling' around you hometown.
