Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Layover in chicago - wrigley field. Spent a few weeks relaxing in the CA sun, spending time with my fam, and getting ready for my coast-to-coast wedding tour of the United States: jet-setting from the Bay to Baltimore and back to Berkeley. Celebrating my birthday at home with flowz and filipino cake. To get ready for the upcoming wedding extravaganzas. Reunited and it feels so good! Commence mexican food diet. Dranks with pops, broham, hubs. Macarons in the city.

Sunday, October 2, 2011. Muir beach, ca. Looking back on the friendships, the memories, and the entire experience of living in Dublin.I am confident I'll live abroad again. Next time it will be Chile or Germany or Spain or Thailand.the possibilities are endless. Picking up and moving across the globe one year ago made it so simple to do again- I think it gets easier each time. I plan to test that theory! Muir beach, ca. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, April 30, 2011. Dreadlocks in the moonlight. We took a quick ride on the DART to spend the day in Dun Laoghaire and Sandycove. Technically, it was the beach. Hubs, Nathan, and I went to a local market to pick up a loaf of bread, some brie, stuffed olives, and pasta salad for a leisurely picnic. As soon as we found some big, flat rocks we were settled. Me 99 flake cone paddywagon = tom haverford face. Forty foot, no fishing - Sandycove. What is a tog? Friday, April 29, 2011. Today I went into th...

Saturday, May 28, 2011. There's always something to protest on O'Connell Street. Friday, May 27, 2011. We recalled our crazy nights in San Diego and the few months in the summer of 2005 when we were living and working together. I wish I could explain the warm fuzzy feeling I got hearing old nicknames after so many years! I am thankful to have those genuine friends you can talk about anything with. The rare ones who pick up right where you left off. Remains of the killer chocolate birthday cake we shared.

Saturday, September 10, 2011. Farewell party - Against the Grain, Wexford Street, Dublin 2. As most of you already know, my time in Ireland is over. This blog has been a great way for me to keep friends family caught up with my adventures. As you can imagine, things are on hold for a bit. The last two-and-a-half weeks I spent in Ireland were unforgettable. What a gift- to return to a city I love, see friends, and say a proper goodbye. Everybody was supportive: from the landlord who ignored the le...Life ...
