Adventures on planes, trains and automobiles
Since all most of February has been spent studying for finals, we celebrated the conclusion of exams last Sunday (I’m a bit late with this one) with a daytrip to Avignon. A quick train away, we arrived in the early afternoon to explore. We’d be interested in seeing the Palais des Papes for a while…Keep…
I like to pass through the epicerie du monde when I’m at any grocery store and I’m always perplexed at what I see. Apparently this is all America brings to the grocery world: Let’s take it by shelf-by-shelf, shall we? Pancakes/Syrup (Aunt Jemima, to be exact) Pepperidge Farms cookies as far as the eye can…Keep…
I’ve been a bit ambitious in the kitchen the past two days, mostly because I’ve been craving for some culinary comforts of home— but also because ever since I got my new sous chef iPad, I am constantly using it to look up recipes for our dinners, then using it as a cookbook come meal…Keep…
I feel like the last week or so has been a mish-mosh of stuff. Nothing that singularly lends itself to a blog post, but together, gives a glimpse of Montpellier life.

Oh hey 2013, nice to meet you. So I’ve been a bit delayed in getting a recap of our trip home together. Mostly because I forgot my good camera at my parent’s house {sniff} and with it, all the photos I had taken. Luckily for me, I can remotely control my parents’ computer back home,…Keep…
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,…Keep…
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…Keep…
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…Keep…
