Scheming

03.13.11 – 16:03

Once upon a time, let’s say 4.5 years ago, I got married (incidentally, so did my husband). I had this idea that where we really wanted to honeymoon was Iceland. Who knows where thoughts come from? They just appear. Because Stephan was spending all of his vacation time on finishing his MBA, though, after the [...]

And now, the post you’ve all be waiting for: OMG FUN DUBLIN* WOOOOOOO! * Again: arguable. I don’t get out much. My peeps, having unconsciously arranged themselves into an aesthetically pleasing formation in front of some pretty buildings.

Boring Dublin

01.20.11 – 08:01

You are so lucky to have me, Internets. I could be showing you all of the interesting bits of Dublin, but here I am tough loving you with the boring parts first, so you will really appreciate the fun parts* when we get to them. This hurts me more than it hurts you*. You’ll thank [...]

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

01.18.11 – 08:01

Okay, Internets: I’ma shoot you straight. The real reason we went to Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge was because it’s near Giant’s Causeway and it’s a National Trust site, so Stephan and I got to traverse it for free. Not like those Americans always hanging around with us—suckers! Which one of these things is not like the [...]

Some Castle

01.16.11 – 10:01

So way back in December 2010, our friends Tony and Cenaida and Cenaida’s boyfriend (Stephan’s BFFF) Gary came to visit us. We let them stay at our house for one whole night, and then drove them across all of Wales to Holyhead, from whence we ferried across to Dublin. We spent three nights in Dublin, [...]

Giant’s Causeway

01.14.11 – 08:01

Remember how you had to wait and wait and wait until well after 2010 was over to find out about my five most excellent 2010-visited places? That’s because I knew that I was going to Giant’s Causeway on December 30, and I was saving its spot on the list. Good thing it lived up to [...]

Los Gatitos de España

12.27.10 – 08:12

Our other other favorite part about Spain was the overpopulation of cats. They seem to have cats like other places have squirrels—semi-feral, in all the parks. But they all looked healthy, and some were downright friendly. Stephan y gatito de la Alhambra, Granada

Guernica

12.24.10 – 08:12

Our one museum stop in Madrid was the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Spain’s national modern art museum. This is why: Picasso’s Guernica (click to view larger) I don’t really do art. I don’t understand it, despite one whole college quarter of Art History, and when I do have an emotional response to [...]

Granada Paving

12.22.10 – 14:12

One of my favorite things  about Granada, and especially the Alhambra, was the intricate paving. Albaicín district
