Our first full day in Paris, we decided to do some shopping. Which worked out to involve a whole lot of incidental walking. We started the morning at Notre Dame, because, well, we’re in Paris, so we had to go to Notre Dame. Which is fully as fascinating as a medieval cathedral should be. We […]
I’m back from a lovely weekend Down East, which included this fantastic interlude at the Jordan Pond House in Acadia National Park.

I’m back in North America after my too short jaunt to Maui with my sister. We had a great time, and I have tons of pictures to sort through, so I will start off with what may become my traditional food first post. Maui Coffee Roasters, Kahului This was by far our favorite breakfast stop
I’m back from a long weekend in Washington, DC. It was a great trip, and I have many, many, many pictures I need to wade through. We stayed with the BF’s younger brother. This was the third time I’ve made it into the city, but the first time I’ve actually stayed in the city limits
