Fourth Stop: Berlin November 21, 2011 1 Comment

I promise I’ll stop blabbing about my trip soon. We’ve only got two more cities to conquer and then we’ll be back to the usual programming…. Berlin was the fourth stop in my European excursion and after my love affair with Prague I didn’t have too high of hopes for the city. I thought it [...]

More From Prague November 17, 2011 No Comments

Just a couple more shots from Prague before we head onto our last two destinations. The top image and left images were taken atop the Prague Castle grounds, which was quite a sight even with the fog. We walked our way up the backside of the Castle and then strolled through a vineyard on the [...]

Third Stop: Prague November 16, 2011 2 Comments

Obvious reasons aside, Prague was my favorite stop during my time in Europe. It’s an incredible feeling to be able to walk around a city where everything thing is so rich with history. Statues are black with age, streets are all hand laid with individual 2-inch stones and the architecture doesn’t compare to anything in [...]

Second Stop: Vienna November 14, 2011 3 Comments

After some time in Budapest with my mom, my two aunts and I boarded a train and headed to Vienna, Austria. Armed with some thorough notes from my cousin who studied there we visited all the hot spots and some lesser known gems as well. My favorite, above everything we saw though, was definitely the [...]

Work and Play November 11, 2011 No Comments

Why hello, Friday. Where did you come from so quickly, you sneaky little devil, you? Maybe it’s my abrupt entrance back into the real world or some exciting events gearing up at work but this week has been a flash. I’m still unpacking bit by bit, sorting my photos and trying to catch up on [...]

See What I Mean November 10, 2011 1 Comment

Remember what I was saying about loving a city even more at night? Well, with a view like that I think it’s hard not too. This beautiful sight was one of the many I spotted while cruising along the Danube in Budapest. Being on the water, removed from the city chaos, was the perfect end [...]

First Stop: Budapest, Hungary November 8, 2011 2 Comments

I just started to upload all my pictures to my computer and am about 1,000 deep with 300+ more to go! It’s a marathon, my dears. So I’m going to spread out my photos and stories over the next couple weeks, if you don’t mind. Other than giving me time to get organized and digest [...]

I’m Back! November 7, 2011 4 Comments

Friends, I’m back in the USA and have so much to tell you! I’m still processing the whole trip so I’ll share bits and pieces in the coming weeks. To hold you over I grabbed some pictures I snapped on my phone during my time abroad. Instagram makes my weak sauce photography skills look much [...]

From Margo… November 4, 2011 No Comments

Another great travel spot from Margo (catch her first post here)… I often find myself forgetting we have many fantastic places in our own backyard I have yet to discover. I have been itching for a European vacation and would love to jet-set off to one of the many foreign countries on my ever-growing list. [...]
