Travel ’16: New Orleans, Part III (Fun Stuff)

Go to New Orleans. There’s not much else I can tell you about the city other than you need to visit it at some point in your life. Alright, maybe there are a few things I can say… No matter who you are, no matter where you’re from, and no matter how old you are […]

Travel ’16: New Orleans, Part I (The Food)

Leave it to me to eat the touristy food in new cities; I’ll take that “burden” with a smile and some grains of salt, thank you very much. Although it took a great deal of arm twisting on my part, I can finally review my favorite food from my spirit city. New Orleans is known […]

Creative Words: People Watching in Jackson Square, New Orleans (6/9)

I’m ridiculously behind on my blogging (I know and I’m sorry), but with reason–pretty words have been floating around in my head for the last few weeks. I’ve been drafting most of them, but by far, the most successful writing I’ve done lately is to just get snippets out of my head and onto a […]

Travel ’16: New Orleans, Day One (6/2)

My inner thighs are chaffed and I’m getting a terrible Tom’s tan on the top of my feet, but I can cross an item off my bucket list–I’m finally in New Orleans. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always been drawn to this city. I don’t have family ties here and I’ve never visited before, but […]

1516: Prague, Part II (The Sites)

Hello, everyone! I’m not sure if the correct term is nostalgia because it happened so recently, but I found myself missing Prague today. I can only imagine how bad it’ll be in a few years. Anyway, what better to way to get over it than to relive it, right? Before I get into this, were […]

1516: Prague, Part I (The Food)

Hello, everyone! First and foremost, I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve. I hope the weather was pleasant and that you got to spend it surrounded by the people that mean the most to you. For me, it was the first NYE in three years that I got to spend with my husband; […]

1516: Munich (12/27)

Hello, everyone! This story starts with a road trip (story of our life for the last year). This time, we were on the way to Munich. First, traffic was nuts. What should have been a 2 and a half hour ride turned out being closer to four. (German highways don’t have as many exits as […]

1516: For Food’s Sake (12/16)

Hello, everyone! The trip has been amazing so far (and we haven’t even really done much yet). I’ve heard some good music, seen some beautiful scenery, but above all, I’ve had some great food. This first dish (I don’t remember its name from the menu, I’m sorry) is what I’ll call a bread soup. It […]
