Happy as Mongoose: July 2013
http://erininaustin.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 29, 2013. The highlight of my time in San Diego was spending time with Rachel and her daughter Elie. I can't believe that my dear friend is a mom! To me, Rachel is still the girl who made up dances for the GFC talent show with me. And the girl who almost crashed her car when we ran into each other randomly at a 711 in Hillsboro. And the girl who I would talk to on the phone (actual land-line phone! Rachel Elie Me. and the mysterious babies from Jenna's shower. "Mama! Friday, July 26, 2013.

Happy as Mongoose: Italy 2014: Siena
http://erininaustin.blogspot.com/2014/12/italy-2014-siena.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2014. The only thing I knew of Siena prior to arriving was that it hosted the Palio - perhaps the most famous horse race in the world - and that it had a famous Duomo. So.not much. However, based on my visit I feel that perhaps those are the two things Siena is known for from a tourist perspective. The town seemed much more about a relaxed way of living versus crazy sightseeing. That being said, Joe and I were ready to sightsee! However, things got way too scary for me at the top, s...

Happy as Mongoose: May 2013

Thursday, May 23, 2013. Dancing Across Europe: The Video. Luckily when I suggested to Angie that we dance across Europe, she was 100% on board. I'm so glad, because now we have this! Yes we are giant dorks. Am I happy about that? Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Which brings me to my updated summer. I have five must-happen goals, and otherwise I am pretty open. Here they are:. 1) Take Spanish lessons in Austin. I am hopeful I found an outlet for this, but I'm open to more options. 2) Learn Excel like a pro.

Happy as Mongoose: Catching Up...
http://erininaustin.blogspot.com/2014/12/catching-up.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. After a year break of blogging, I'm picking back up to document my current European adventure. But first, some background in a Q&A format:. Q Did you and Joe almost go an entire year without getting to Europe? Q But surely you both have been traveling this year? Q Haven't you guys been to Italy before? Q So how did you pick Italy vs. somewhere new? A This was tough. I was pushing for South America. but we were sad thinking that our Europe x 1/year streak would end. ...We loved ...

Happy as Mongoose: Italy 2014: Venice
http://erininaustin.blogspot.com/2014/12/italy-2014-venice.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Venice. A city that lands near the top of nearly every "must see" travel list. I figured Venice would be stunning, but boy did I underestimate this city. Would it be weird if I asked the Hermes salesperson if I could buy something from the window? Knowing it was supposed to rain that afternoon, we decided to wander out of the San Marco province and over to Dorsoduro. Our goal was to be near the Accademia in case it rained too hard, and try to see another part of Venice....

Happy as Mongoose: April 2013
http://erininaustin.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 30, 2013. In my previous post, I mentioned that there would be lots of romanticism ahead. I'm happy to say that today delivered! I think we all know where this is going, right? Today I went to the castle! And I found the aforementioned puzzle! Look closely because this is as pretty as the castle will appear in the following pictures. By the time we walked back to the castle, the fog had somewhat cleared! And that the purpose was residency, not attraction at a theme park.). Again, there wer...

Happy as Mongoose: August 2013
http://erininaustin.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. Holy moly. I only have three weeks left in Austin! I must admit, I've been feeling pretty blue about leaving lately. I know, I know, Joe and the pups will still be here. My permanent address is here. But in reality, I am moving to Dallas and there really isn't anyway to sugarcoat that I won't call Austin home for the next few years. Time for a Reframe? So, for all of my talk about wanting to move. Now that I am about to leave, I can't imagine calling any place but Austin home.

http://erininaustin.blogspot.com/2014/12/when-in-rome_22.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. Italy 2014: When in Rome. I first visited Rome in summer 2000. After spending 1 week in Paris, my parents and I spent another week in Rome, and they pulled out all the stops! Our goal was to take a bus to the Appian Way and visit the catacombs. However, as we walked toward the bus we passed a near empty Colosseum and decided to visit, because how often is there no wait at the Colosseum? The Colloseum. not overcrowded with tourists! For 5 minutes and blocked our nice shot. After...
