Personal and Professional Musings
Well, we made it to the United States. It was a looooong day of travel, but we made it. It started with a 4am wake up that was partially due to the excitement of going home and partly because I wanted to make sure we had everything together well before we walked out the door…
Dave and I leave Saturday morning for The States. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited we are. We’ll spend a week on the east coast in NY/Maryland, then a week in California and I already have a whole list of things I want to eat and buy (shampoo that doesn’t make me…
Dave and I went on a Christmas decor photo-taking adventure on Sunday night. The Marché de Noël was in full swing in the Esplanade, with these tiny log cabins set up for each vendor to display their wares. I tried to take photos but it was so incredibly crowded, which was surprising to me because,…
The Saturday morning we spent in Barcelona was reserved for our visit to La Sagrada Familia. If you were able to sit through the marathon post about Barcelona, you will recall that I mentioned our visit to La Sagrada Familia was truly spectacular and warranted its own post. We took about 200 photos of it…
Warning! You should probably get comfortable. This turned out WAY longer than anticipated. At what seemed like the crack of dawn on Black Friday, Dave and I got ready for shopping our impromptu trip to Spain. Our tickets said “registration” was at 8am and the bus station was about 20 minutes away by tram, so…
Last week, it was Thanksgiving (obviously, for those Americans reading this) and try as I might, none of my Thanksgiving plans wanted to work out. Dave had been told that he had Thursday and Friday off (coincidentally, though it later changed to a half day on Thursday and all of Friday off–that seems to be…
I’m incredibly behind with my photo challenges. But the weather here turned blah and rainy and sometimes it’s really hard to be creative with these challenges. That was, however, the purpose of doing it- the challenge of getting me out and about in the city and really exploring things around me; not just quick scans…
Yesterday I got caught up on a project and didn’t go out in search of my daily post, so today is a 2-for-1 posting. Day 7 – Something funny I saw this at the grocery store the other day, in the produce area with the broccoli and the cauliflower, and had no idea what it…
This post is a bit late…mostly because I was tired in the morning and slept in past the morning sky. I suppose technically a 10am sky is still in fact morning, but it didn’t have to same “freshness” so I decided to hold off and double-down on posts today.
