I don't know if any of the Tower of London's former prisoners would have appreciated my smile, but I was excited to be there. Maybe because I got to leave, unlike them?
Blogtober (Redux) #21: The Underground (And the Rediscovery of Chivalry)
Public transportation is the lifeblood of city life in London. The London Underground (aka The Tube), buses--I experienced them all while in the city, and quite extensively, as my friend that hosted me doesn't own a car. So from the moment I landed at Heathrow Airport to the moment I went back to Heathrow to …

Blogtober (Redux) #20: Nells Ländchen
I visited this park in the city of Trier, Germany, and felt as if I was dreaming of an idyll. But it was very real, and it was beautiful.
Blogtober (Redux) #19: On Traveling, Time Jumps, and Trailing WiFi

Blogtober (Redux) #1: Keep Calm…
...I'm going to Europe. I greet October with a calm demeanor that belies the bubbling brew of excitement I hold underneath as this trip begins. I'm at the airport and very much trying not to squeal. And it's also Blogtober Redux! I don't know what to do with myself. Onwards and upwards, y'all.

Here's to blogging every day and enjoying …
San Diego.
In 2001, I had a nervous breakdown. No need to sugarcoat it. I lost it. I was 22 years old, a receiver of news that changed my entire life--I couldn't breathe. I was wild-eyed and crazed. All that said, while sitting placidly at work one day, I went on a travel site and booked a …
things I currently need #4 (Paris Edition) (because why not?)
Follow along... An apartment there. A mailbox there. A rendezvous at 10:30 (10 h 30) in front of that door. After which we enjoy our petit déjeuner at that cafe. And then continue eating there. There, too. Naturally, we’ll need to take une marche after all that food… During which we’ll find ourselves there. With …
