A Castle in the Rolling Hills of Barolo, Italy

by

Finally on solid ground in the United States, and figured I would do a brief post with a picture that just keeps on drawing my attention above all others. We were eating lunch on our way to the castle of Barolo, which conveniently houses the wine museum (where you learn about the history of wine).

Minneapolis Skyline at Night from the Hyatt Regency

I spent the past two weeks in Minneapolis on business. While I was eager to take photos of the skyline upon arrival, that desire quickly died down as other commitments became more important. Here is the best (and pretty much only) picture I took during this trip, a photo of the Minneapolis Skyline from my hotel window (the 24th floor of the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis).
