Flamin' Libs: March 2014
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Oregon Arts Orchestra - Day 8 Venice. Lucy took us inside the Doge's palace and across the Bridge of Sighs to the prison. I stuck close to her to hear as much of the discussion as possible. The wealth of these places is amazing! Our concert was in a covered area in the main square of the town. There were a lot of people out enjoying their Sunday evening who were very curious to see a bunch of American's all dressed in black walking...

Flamin' Libs: August 2015
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Monday, August 17, 2015. The final thing on our Mediterranean Turkey to-do list was the Saklikent Gorge. This is a gorge (obviously) cut into the mountains by a river of snowmelt. You pay 3-6 liras to enter (kids-adults). Then you get to hike through the river up the gorge. After the fast section, the water slows down. Our waterside lunch restaurant. From an Australian woman in front of Kip at one point. We all left our flip flops and sandals back at...The wa...

Flamin' Libs: The worship of art
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-worship-of-art.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Thursday, July 23, 2015. The worship of art. People go to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa. She is one piece in thousands housed there, but she is the one people want to see. Everyone knows her and her half smile whether they care about art or not. Outside, the kids and Kip had grown restless. Frankly, I hadn't expected them to last as long as they had. We found a play area with spinning toys and slides and the kids set to work befriending the oth...So glad yo...

Flamin' Libs: Au Revoir, Paris
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2015/07/au-revoir-paris.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Au Revoir, Paris. Before heading there, we found ice cream and sat on the edge of a dormant fountain to enjoy it. It was just what I needed. I felt my blood sugar climb and energy level increase until the thought of 280 more stairs was a challenge I was eager to take. The staircase at the Arc de Triomphe is a spiral one, of course. Paris wouldn't have it any other way! Location: Kılıçali Paşa Mahallesi, Turkey. Mr and Mrs. Pacman. Flying...

Flamin' Libs: Goreme Sights
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2015/08/goreme-sights.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Wednesday, August 05, 2015. Saying goodbye to the hotel dog, Panda. The next day, Thursday July 30th. On me to buy ice cream bars and sat at the last café to wait. Kip and the B's (Becca and Bill) arrived a little while later and we drove like the wind back to Ankara and Aunt Wendy. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mr and Mrs. Pacman. The lot of us. The Waters of Kalkan. The Big Balloon Event. On the way to Cappadoccia. Lots of happy people.

Flamin' Libs: Hot or Cold
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2015/08/hot-or-cold.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Saturday, August 08, 2015. I learned something about my headaches today, Friday, July31st. At least, I developed a new theory. Something along those lines has been happening here. We entered the tunnel and were greeted by a blast of cool air. It was amazing and I joked about how, if I worked at the museum, I would always be over at the tomb. The farther down the tunnel we went, the colder it got. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Flamin' Libs: May 2014
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Sunday, May 04, 2014. Oregon Arts Orchestra - Day 10 Milan September 3. We had a very short walking tour of Milan focusing on the Duomo. I was worn out. I didn't get much out of the tour. We had time to relax at the hotel that afternoon and Kip wanted to get travel snacks and more chocolate (of course! Labels: Oregon Arts Orchestra. Oregon Arts Orchestra - Day 9 Venice September 2. Burano was absolutely charming. The boat dropped us and we opted to find ou...

Flamin' Libs: Istanbul
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2015/07/istanbul_30.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Istanbul from the plane. This is a big city. I thought Paris was big. Paris had a population of 2.2 million people. That made Portland and its 600k seem tiny. Istanbul has a population of 14 million. I can't even wrap my head around that. The city seems to spread out in every direction, spilling from the core of Old Town out over endless hills and even across bodies of water. What an amazing city! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Flamin' Libs: October 2012
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Sunday, October 14, 2012. Plumper Pumpkin Patch, Oct 10, 2012. Becca had her preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch on Wednesday. It was at Plumper Pumpkin Patch, which is the same farm we've been going to since William was in preschool at Young Learner's. I have pictures of him helping push the manual pumpkin seed planter and checking out the milking area from when the farm used to have dairy cows. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Mr and Mrs. Pacman.

Flamin' Libs: Sunday in Istanbul
http://killpacktravels.blogspot.com/2015/07/sunday-in-istanbul.html
Thoughts and wanderings of our crazy family. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Taking a break at the end of the metro ride. Becca brought Flavio to church to keep her company. Church in Istanbul was like what I expected from the church in Paris. It was a small branch and probably a third of the attendees were missionaries. Everyone was really welcoming. One of the missionaries gave a talk about teeter totters. It had the kids riveted until he went into his analogy about trust. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
