My piece on visiting one of the most popular Greek islands without all the bustle appears in today’s Washington Post Travel section. This is my first story for Post Travel and I’m thrilled to see it! Reporting the story wasn’t so bad, either.
More than a year has passed since I last handed over a slim blue book and held my breath.
Will it somehow have expired?
Will he question me about a stamp from China, Israel, East Africa?
So far, no rejections based on my passport, nor cargo I plan to haul across international borders. I hope my record holds for my next trip in August.
As I rev up to dust off those pages, I present a view from last May’s trip to Geneva. I had spent a week in boisterous company, feasting on fondue and rosti, throwing back at least one beer for each article I copy edited. This balloon art hovered over the ground floor of a Swiss mall that I visited on my last night in the country. I ate mediocre Mexican food by myself and drank sangria from a glass rimmed with pink sugar.
I didn’t realize until today how much this scene looks like a model.
