...globetrotting: April 2011
http://margaretbyron.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 4, 2011. The strangest thing to me, in keeping with this odd juxtaposition of scandalous and sedate, was the great diversity of the tourists wandering the streets. Even on the roads that were completely devoted to sex and drugs (including one shop that had about ten different varieties of marijuana seeds- grow your own! Here are some pictures- I don't have a camera cable with me, so I stole them from the internet). Amsterdam Centraal Train Station. Sunset by the beach near the Kooy home.

Friday, May 8, 2009. NZ Days 7, 8, and 9: Punakaiki/Christchurch/Akaroa. April 20, 5:23am. It sounds trite, but it's true- all good things must come to an end. It's been a fantastic trip to an incredible country, but I think I'm ready to resume life as usual in Australia. Which is good, considering that I have class in about 5 hours. But you can be sure I'll write about it when I find the time! Our backyard at the Beach Hostel. Pancake rocks at Punakaiki. Steve and his speeding ticket.

Sunday, July 18, 2010. Here's a small sample of the hundreds of pictures I took in Morocco. They're in chronological order and should form a fairly continuous photojournal of the trip. Sunrise from a plane is way cool. The room in Nalika's house where we stayed. Probably my favorite thing I ate in Morocco: tajine kefta. G beef, eggs, and vegetables in a simmering hot clay pot. mmmmm. The Djemma el-Fna, main square of Marrakech. Koutoubia mosque at dusk. The medina of Marrakech. And I mean ANYTHING. Walls...

...globetrotting: Music, Justice, Whiskey: Dublin I

Thursday, July 30, 2015. Music, Justice, Whiskey: Dublin I. Where are you from? She asked, in the process of learning more about me. Oh, from Pennsylvania originally," I replied in a self-deprecating tone. After all, there's nothing that special or exotic about Pennsylvania unless you're from there (in which case it's obviously the best state in the Union). No, no," she insisted, "where are you REALLY from? As if he wasn't sure if I was kidding. I named the key and proceeded through a somewhat shaky ...

http://margaretbyron.blogspot.com/2013/07/crown-of-continent-glacier-national.html
Thursday, July 25, 2013. Crown of the Continent- Glacier National Park (part 1). Slowly making my way out from under the pile of unwritten blog posts! My goal is not to be more than a year behind. Last summer, after visiting a lovely lakeside cottage in Québec. And visiting my own family in Pennsylvania), I was able to visit one of the most breathtaking and majestic areas in the continental U.S.: Glacier National Park. Lake MacDonald, Glacier National Park. JM, searching for the perfect stone to skip.

Saturday, June 27, 2009. Here are a few pictures of my trip to Sydney a few weeks ago. I'm home now and I'll try to post a final entry within the next few days. Look what we found! Can't you see it? Walkway along Bondi beach. Nice overlook at Bondi. Walking from Bronte to Bondi. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Whitsunday Islands- Part II. Update: I'm DONE with finals! And started on F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise. Which I haven't yet read and supposed that I should. Our last morning we once again ...

Monday, January 21, 2013. Mis)adventures in backpacking, part two. The next day dawned full of promise, the rising sun casting its golden rays across the serene alpine meadow. The cool, fresh air seemed to sing with seductive invitation, beckoning us towards the distant mountains. A speckled fawn drank cautiously from the river, unaware of our presence. You don't want to go that way," I cautioned them. "The mosquitoes are just terrible.". Stinson Beach aerial view (from the internet).

Thursday, April 1, 2010. The last few moments of our trip are finally upon us. I’m in. About to board a plane for. And then a van to. Left alone with my thoughts and reflections on a whirlwind week. Yesterday was a travel day—we packed up and left the Hosteria at 8:30am yesterday and drove for six hours before we reached. The views were, again, absolutely breathtaking—. We headed to its actual namesake: the Equator (the 00°00’00” line lends its name not only to. God doesn’t care. God equips you perfectly...
