Nestled in the province of Lecco, Italy there lives a Hawaiian girl named Rowena and her dog. Oh. And there’s husband too. This magical place on the Internet is called Rubber Slippers in Italy Italy. Today they are taking a Walk In The Woods, one of many adventures large and small that has become part and parcel of this couple’s life. They are frolicking in the hills of France with their adorable dog Maddie. You might think this a typical vacation-type blog at first glance. Dig a little deeper and you find post after post of beautiful original photographs of their travels — commentary by Maddie — and a sense of adventure and love between a young husband and wife.
It’s charming.
One of my favorite shots is the one you see here of Maddie in Paris.
The caption reads, “What I wouldn’t give to bury a bone under the Eiffel Tower.“

Mimi–
We just received an email asking if winners of Blog of Notes are eligible for the award. I hadn’t heard of them. Judd assured the potential reviewer that they can win. You picked a great post and wrote your standard great review. Well, done.
Hi Judd,
Well here I am, finally! Thanks for the mention although I truly think all this fuss is a bit much. However, I would love to submit a post by one my favorite bloggers, Kat from Our Adventures in Japan. Her post entitled The Climb is about a trek up to Mt. Fuji! Fantastic read, with illustrative photos of the trek.
Congrats to you Rowena !
I’ve been a regular at her blog since quite awhile and I do think that this is well deserved.
I’m not a food blogger like she is but she does so many mouth watering posts. And it is also a great window on her life in Italy.
Aloha to you my friend.
