Happy New Year!

It was our first New Year's away from home. But even without our families, sans the traditional fabada, jamon and queso, Noel and I had a grand time ushering in 2007. After having a delectable feast of authentic Italian dishes at La Toscana, we trooped to Penn's Landing where, together with our friends Tony, Trish, Dot and Karina, we watched the fireworks display. Thousands of multi-colored sparks lit up the dark sky, and there we were... looking up, full of hope for only the better things this year and always.
