stop drinking for a month

look no further. fornax bakery in roslindale village is where you should go. it’s my favorite bakery in boston. they bake gorgeous, hearty breads, delicate pastries, and their scones are the best i’ve ever had (as is their irish soda bread). they make great sandwiches, too. it’s local, friendly (in that excellent boston kind of way), hard-working, and unpretentious.

in october of 2002 i sailed the mediterranean (how do you spell that??!!) coast of turkey on a beautiful 65 foot boat with an archeologist leading our group on daily land expeditions (followed by an evening swim, shower (one in each room), cocktails and dinner). it was the best 2 weeks of my life. i’m going again in october of 2005 and anyone who’s interested should let me know. this trip will be a little more physically active in that our day hikes will be in the 7 mile range. but we still sail daily and still eat and sleep on and swim off of the boat and the theme is still archaeoligical. we can only take 14 people on the trip, so let me know!
