Something to write home about. Keeping in touch from around the globe. Galway: neon green hills, local music, and torrential rainstorms. As we were exploring the harbor we got caught in the most intense wind and rain storm I have ever been in! We stayed inside the rest of the afternoon and evening playing cards, writing postcards and making frozen pizzas to avoid the rainstorm outside. not to mention massive amounts of kit kats on sale that became a significant staple throughout our trip (wow. ch...We ve...

Something to write home about. Keeping in touch from around the globe. Grateful for (ten things). The top ten things i was grateful as told to my friend cristina for her book-binding project. she put together a two edition book entitled, "grateful for (ten things)" and compiled the lists of people she has encountered in her life. here it is. 1 the only solid and crazy constant in my life: my family. 2 my three best friends: they are the people who know me, appreciate me, and love me exactly as i am.

Something to write home about. Keeping in touch from around the globe. This may be the most underrated city in europe. So in the past two weeks. I traveled to bray, a coastal town just south of dublin. the beach was made of all rocks, the water was frigid, and the sun set behind the classic green irish hills. Tried whiskey at the jameson whiskey factory (never again. gross). I watched the boys of our hall beat botswana in a pick up game of soccer at ucdublin. Its a weekend excursion to the countryside!

Something to write home about. Keeping in touch from around the globe. Madrid: siestas, fiestas, tapas y sol! Besides the craziness of the nightlife, visiting spain was definitely a dream come true, and it was certainly everything i had hoped it to be. and coming from rainy dublin, the first sight of sunshine shocked us all! I had forgotten what it felt like to really feel the sun! Ha wow we are really obsessed with food huh mom? Jardines de sebatini (gardens of sebatini) next to the palace. In spanish t...

Something to write home about. Keeping in touch from around the globe. Swim play dance and dress up. As i sit here on the third of december listening to christmas music on repeat, i cannot help but ask myself where the month of november went! Now, it clearly was not as cold as it has been recently (it hailed last weekend! And i must say it definitely woke us up. I used to think lake tahoe was cold! Pre- and post- atlantic swim in dublin bay. Two farmers and audrey hepburn. naturally. I told them that i h...

Something to write home about. Keeping in touch from around the globe. Edinburgh: the most magical city in the world. We had five full days in edinburgh so we rented an apartment with a view of edinburgh castle. it was such a perfect way to spend our time there, rather than dealing with hostels, no showers, and large rooms with strangers. what a wonderful way to start the day with a cup of tea just staring out the window! Here is michelle and jake with the castle behind them! I recognized the lion at the...
