Join me on this life's adventures
The Guy and I came to Prague so I could get ICL surgery. I visited Prague 10 years ago and was enchanted with the Baroque architecture and especially the Charles Bridge. You access the bridge by going under a large tower and it's lined with statues of patron saints. The gothic style and historical significance lend... Continue Reading →
Gorgeous Vienna, where the waltz originates, is home to classical composers like Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss to name a few. Numerous famous scientists, writers, and artists also hail from here. My personal favorite is, of course, Freud - founder of psychoanalysis. Viennese culture is strongly rooted in long leisurely meals surrounded by magnificent architecture on... Continue Reading →
Budapest is a beautiful European city split in half by the Danube, connected by multiple bridges. Buda and Pest actually developed independently of each other until a little over 100 years ago so are fairly distinct in personalities. Pest is flat and dotted with trendy bars, shops, cafes, and restaurants. On the other hand, Buda... Continue Reading →
I've been legally blind for most of my life and relied heavily on glasses or contacts. I once asked my doctor, "You know how perfect vision is 20/20? What would mine be?" About 20/10,000. That means something you can see perfectly clear 10,000 feet away, I can see 20 feet away. Except I have to hold... Continue Reading →
New York City is called the City of Dreams for a reason - it's one of the most fascinating places on Earth so The Guy and I decided to stop here before our trip to Eastern Europe (I'm headed to Prague for ICL surgery since it costs 3-4 times as much in the States). I fell in... Continue Reading →
Over a year ago, I set a goal to start blogging more often. So I did what anyone would do when they set an important objective for themselves - I ignored it and felt guilty instead. It's easier to feel bad than do something you want because change is hard. But I also did things to... Continue Reading →
I said goodbye to my 20's this year. In fact, I sally forth-ed right out of my 20's at the stroke of midnight on my birthday with The Guy proclaiming that I was old. He looked at his watch and clambered out of bed, trailing his hand along his present like Vanna White enticing me... Continue Reading →
It's been over a year since we decided to make a lifestyle move to Lakeside Oregon. We spent last winter living in The Guy's mom's barn while we searched for property and waited for it to close. It was cold to say the least but I became well versed in peeing outside (even moreso than... Continue Reading →
Sorry to leave you hanging. As some of you may already know, our plans for our trip changed rather quickly. No, we are not broke. And no, I am not pregnant (much to my mother's disappointment). If I were to pinpoint the moment as the catalyst for us turning around, it would be at the... Continue Reading →
Guatemala was absolutely stunning. Sprawling mountains against a backdrop of fog gave it a mystical appeal. On sunny days, the rolling hills continued back endlessly like something from a painting. It gave me the understanding that life IS what inspires art. Despite its beautiful scenery, many other factors contributed to Guatemalan culture. RANDOM THINGS Roosters,... Continue Reading →
