We arrived to our lovely Airbnb flat in Firenze (Florence)! A bottle of chilled Prosecco was waiting for us in the fridge which we cracked open on the terrace.
Tillamook! I was really amused to see a little package of Tillamook cheese in the meal during the flight from Newark to Munich (where we were then connecting to Florence, Italy). Tillamook is from Oregon. A little Pacific Northwest love in German. I haven’t taken a really long flight in awhile… uff, 7 hours was rough. […]
First leg of a trip I just returned from… SEA > PHL. And then PHL > FLR. Seemed kind of silly to be buying swag at the Philly airport when I was going to Florence, Italy but ya know… Swatch is Swiss so that counts for something, no? 🙂
This (to the left) is a screenshot of an email I was sending to myself of things to remember to pick up at the store. For some reason, I still, unconsciously, continue to spell “jogurt” with a ‘j’, Czech style. I do the same with ‘jo’ (instead of ‘yo’). And now that I’m learning Deutsch, […]

I am determined to post every single old picture upon this blog at some point! “LOL”, as the kids say.

(A great idea, I […]
It’s been unusually hot for an unusually long time here in Seattle. I generally hate Summer to begin with so… don’t get me started. Last night I was just so wiped out from the hot day that I let my son watch a video and I laid in bed with my phone, scrolling through people’s […]
Rainy days with a sick kid at home mean cleaning and organizing! In going through & organizing all my photos, I came across several scanned images, including these scans – business cards from places I visited or frequented while living in Prague. Lehká Hlava (“clear head”) was a lovely vegetarian (actually, if I remember correctly, it […]
