It’s so nice to be home for Thanksgiving. One thing great about foreign travel: When you get back home…you’re really thankful. I hope you enjoy this little clip from my hometown — which I’m savoring with friends and family this holiday. (I’ve spent so much time in Europe, I get flamenco and flamingo mixed up!)
Speaking of Thanksgiving: Thanks to the more than 800 fans who have already responded to our Bread for the World Christmas Fundraiser Challenge (donating $100 to BFTW in return for three gifts from us and a promise that we’ll match their donation). But that means we still need 200 more people to help us make our goal of raising $100,000. With my matching donation — and if we hit this goal — a total of $200,000 will go to fighting hunger. Help us by donating to Bread for the World. What a great way to counter all the Black Friday frenzy with an initiative true to the meaning of the season. Thanks for joining us! And Happy Thanksgiving.

Good For You! Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy your time at home.
Don’t get me wrong. I like Rick. And I especially like the RS people with whom I have come in contact who are part of his teams. But to send me a request for Bread For The World juxtaposed with an RS Black Friday sale on luggage etc etc etc just strikes me as what’s wrong with capitalism and RS. Even Rick Steves seems to me to be as much a part of the problem as he is the solution. Nevertheless, on the scale of justice, commercialism and self-interest, I’d still give Steves the benefit of the doubt. “It’s an American thing” and I trust the rest of the planet understands that the ends justifies the means. Right Rick?
Greetings from a fellow Seattle-ite!
We have recently returned from what was my very first trip to Europe.
Over about one month we visited London, Paris, Sorrento, Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre, Volterra, Siena, and Venice. While we had many amazing adventures on our trip and can hardly wait to return, it is SO wonderful to be back in the comforts of home.
It really is true that there’s no place like home!…and Seattle makes a GREAT home.
Thanks for sharing the video of Dale Chihuli’s installation in your backyard.
F.Y.I. – In St. Pete, just west of Tampa, there is a fine museum with many of his beautiful works. It’s just a short walk from the new (and amazing) Dali Museum.
