Ok, let me just say that I’m most definitely NOT one of those people who goes to a foreign country and expects them to speak English. That said, while my Spanish serves me pretty well in California, in all of my travels abroad, except for Costa Rica and that incident in the Italian emergency...

I feel like we’ve been going at a slower pace than we normally do on our trips… Maybe we are? In any case, yesterday morning we slept in and took our time getting out the door, and then instead of taking the metro, we opted to walk down to McGill University to check out...

Yesterday we spent wandering around the city of Montreal — lots and lots of walking. John and I have decided that it’s similar to being in Europe, but that there are some things that remind us very much that we’re in North America. All in all, it’s been a fun city to wander. :-)...

Yesterday morning, after I’d finished my blog post and the boys had consumed their Tim Horton’s coffee, we hit the road for Montreal. I managed to forget the obligatory breakfast shot, but I got one at dinner, so we’re good there. Anyway, Montreal. It was about a 6ish hour drive from Toronto, and we...

After I wrote the title for this post, it occurred to me that most of this trip has been and will be devoted to nerding out. We’re nerds. That’s what we do best. But yesterday (I’m writing this the morning of Day 4 since I fell asleep early last night) we went to the...

I’m slightly ashamed of the title of this post. In case you’re not familiar with it, here’s the Know Your Meme page for the reference, but the full title should really be somewhere along the lines of “Yo dawg, I herd you like travel, so I put some travel in your travel so you...

So yeah, I’ve given up trying to blog regularly. (A) I don’t feel like my life has been that interesting lately, and (B) I’ve been out living life. But I’m on the road again, and it’s important to me to write my travels down, so I’m blogging this trip. For the next two weeks,...

I was getting ready to leave the barn this evening when I caught this shot. This embodies everything I love about the barn and about summertime. It’s so close — summer is so close! And this weekend is our first horse show (and my first gymkhana!) AND the weather is supposed to hit 90F+...

No, my thesis still isn’t done. That’s why I’m posting a new blog post, of course! Every year since I was in college, March has always been a restless month for me. It’s when I start to think about summer, and about going somewhere awesome, or heck, just going somewhere in general! As much...

Anyone want to guess where I woke up this morning? :-)
