Mexico has no shortage of good food.
This may be an obvious point to many of you.
If you only have one day to eat (and drink) all that Tulum has to offer, you’re in luck. I’ve mapped out where to eat on Beach Road in Tulum, Mexico.

Our Christmas Tree, Processo Cheese, & Pizza [WIAW]
Let’s talk Christmas trees.
Ours is the best.
I mean… have you ever seen a more perfectly shaped tree?

Running… Is a Struggle. Food is not. [WIAW]
Cool(er) weather makes me want to run.
My body sometimes has other plans.
There is a rumor that San Diego is 70°F (that’s 21°C) all year long. This is a lie. It was as high as 90°F (32°C) just last week! Yesterday it finally cooled to a comfortable 72 and I decided to hit the trails in Balboa Park.
This is my favorite place to run. It looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book!

Two Days in Cinque Terre: From Riomaggiore to Monterosso
Have you even been somewhere that looks like a postcard?
Cinque Terre is even MORE beautiful than that.
Cinque Terre is comprised of five tiny seaside villages on the north coast of Italy. It literally translates to “The Five Lands.” The five towns are: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. Each one is beautiful in it’s own way, but they all possess an almost magical coastal Italian charm.
Then main streets are lined with family-owned shops, artisan gelato, and the best seafood you’ll ever eat. The clear, glittering water will almost hypnotize you, and you’ll finish each day plotting a way to retire to one of the colorful old buildings. It truly is like something out of a storybook.

One Day in Piedmont: From Alba to Barolo
The city of Alba in Italy’s Piedmont region is my favorite place in the world.
It’s known for food and wine, so this shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.
The Piedmont region in Italy is heaven for those who love food and wine. It’s known for Barolo (the “king’s wine”) and white truffles, which are nearly worth their weight in gold (I’m not exaggerating). Don’t forget that it’s also the home of Ferrero Rocher and Nutella!
I highly recommend at least one day in the city of Alba, which is about an hour’s train ride from the larger city of Turin (Torino, in Italian).

A Day of Eats & a Donkey Race in Alba, Italy
Alba is my favorite European city.
I begged Vegas to stay.
Alba is in Piedmont, the northwest region of Italy. It’s been my favorite since my last trip here 5 years ago. This is the area famous for Barolo (the king’s wine), Barbaresco, hazelnuts, and truffles. We did it all!
I’ve had more white truffles than should be allowed. They don’t look like much from the outside, but these rare (and expensive) mushrooms are a delicacy unique to this region. You can only get them in the fall. Alba even has a festival dedicated to them!

Softball Debauchery & Anti-Inflammatory Eats [WIAW]
I can’t stay healthy.
Don’t ever age past 30.
We were in at the softball world series last week in Kansas City playing with our old Atlanta team. First Vegas went down with a hamstring. Then – because we do everything together – I did mine. 2 weeks before we go to Italy. I swear these things never happened when I was in my 20s! Sigh.
In other news, we had delicious BBQ that I ate so quickly I forgot to take pictures of. There were also breakfasts of Krispy Kreme and Fireball. #sorryimnotsorry

Three Friends and a Baby
The best part about blogging is the friends you make.
Some of my “real life” best friends are bloggers.
This weekend I got to see two of them – Lucie and Meghan! Lucie was making a pit stop at Meghan’s on her way back to Switzerland, so I decided to hop over to Cleveland to crash that party.
Really I just wanted to meet this munchkin:
