Saw a note about this really cool art installation at the Jewell Fall trails on Instagram. (I follow Portland Trails.) They’re there for a week, and next Saturday, when it’s over, you can “forage”, and take one home. I have other plans that day, but am really tempted to see if I can make a […]

We were in VT last weekend, visiting my in laws. They live Bennington, which is in the corner of the state that borders Massachusetts and New York. The town right over the border in MA is Williamstown, home of Williams College. It also happens to have one of my favorite coffee shops (Tunnel City), so

Our next day (still rainy), consisted of the British Museum, which I have already taken enough pictures of I won’t bore anyone with my newest ones, and making our way over to the theatre district for a production of Peter Pan Goes Bad. I have not laughed that much in ages – those guys do

We spent the day (one of the two rainiest) around Regent and Oxford Streets, doing the Christmas shopping thing. We’d never made it to Fortnum and Mason before, so pretty much had to do that to see their windows (I came out with tea and jam, and BF got an ornament). We then back tracked to

We went to a local concert for the first time in forever last night – Loreena McKennit was back at the Merrill Auditorium in Portland. This is our third time seeing her there, and it was another great night. The tour is officially for the 30th anniversary of The Visit, but she also played some
We had credit with Cirque du Soleil to use up, so we ended up in another French speaking country just two weeks after coming back from France. It’s lovely being able to drive to another country – we went up through the Newport entrance at the top of I91 in Vermont. That part of their

Bonus street art from our wanders – we didn’t even hit any of the real hot spots. I was really impressed with the variety out there.
Thursday was an incredibly varied day. We started at the Catacombs – that was interesting. It’s very humbling to see all of the bones. I don’t think I’d ever need to go down again, but it was worth seeing once. Our next stop was the Place du Trocadero. You can get a really good view

Our first full day got a little off kilter because we slept a lot later than we should have. We’re not entirely sure we’d fly through Iceland again. The flights were great, and being able to go through immigration at Keflavik airport instead of Charles de Gaulle were definitely an advantage. The extra travel time

So my sister got married on the third. Which meant we got to go out to CA for the event. (I was a bridesmaid.) The family part of the trip is covered on Facebook, and elsewhere, because this is not a family oriented sort of blog, but the BF and I did
