For some reason, I convinced myself to pack extra light for this trip and decided not to bring my tripod. And of course, that meant I would end up wishing I did. So this long exposure… https://t.co/NEUvaeSSNF

Post-therapy lunch with my mom. I came for calamari, which was excellent, but was floored by the grilled octopus. Best pulpo I’ve had since Barcelona. @ La Sorrentina https://t.co/7y6bsoExRl
