Hello again! It’s been way too long since I’ve shared a travel story. I won’t say that my attempt at the Take 12 Trips Challenge was a complete failure, just that I took a three-month hiatus. I’m going to use a lame excuse and blame my busy work schedule but I’m back with another new trip and […]

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and inspired by my roommate and nonbiological sister, Sarah The Half Dietitian Half Human, I’m dedicating a blog entry to the things that I am thankful for. I’m limiting my list to five because when I attempted to make it longer I ended up with a list of my favorite foods.

While searching through my photos I realized the majority of them were of things that are tall or extraordinarily large so I’ll stick to the theme and keep this post short by only sharing a few. Short Breakfast: Cafes Richard in Paris, France (2013) […]
