Singapore Day 1, Part 2: Pictures that didn’t make the 10 on 10 cut but I wanted to blog a bit about anyway
This is day 2 of being wide awake at 5AM. I can't blame anyone for snoring this time... I just couldn't sleep. Oh well -- in a couple of hours I'll be catching a bus to Malacca, Malaysia, and it's a 4 hour ride, so I can sleep then if I feel the need. So instead of working on my grad →
Euro Trip Redux: Dublin
I haven't been up to very much lately. Well, actually, I have, but "up to much" has consisted of work and the barn, hence the spate of barn-related pictures lately. Fortunately, I have a ginormous backlog of pictures from my Europe trip this past summer. How ginormous? Well, the pics in this post are of days 3 and 4 of, →
Help me pick a 2010 picture of the year!
I meant to post this on Saturday, but I ended up posting those fireworks pictures instead, because I liked how they turned out. So here is my second and last "year in review" post --help me pick a "best picture of 2010" shot by posting in the comments with the number of the one you like. :-) Here's a link →
Let’s hop in the time machine and take a ride back to November 2008
Remember those heady days, two whole years ago? Obama had just gotten elected, Ted "Bridge to Nowhere" Stevens lost his Senate seat, AIG got its second bailout while the stock market continued its meltdown, and Somali pirates terrorized the high seas. Ummm, yeah. Good times. Why are we remembering this? On Sunday evening, I lent my laptop to a desperate friend who's →
Anyone remember that short little trip I took this past summer?
If you're new here and you're not quite sure to what I'm referring, check out my Euro Trip 2010 category. In a nutshell, I finally did something I've been wanting to do since I was 16 -- got a backpack and a rail pass and traveled Europe for two months this past summer. It was absolutely the most incredible trip →
Euro Trip Day 45: Nuremburg, or Nuremburg, or Nürnberg, or Nuernberg. Several spellings, one city.
I'm trying to play catch up on posts here, so bear with me. :-) ****** On Monday morning, July 19th, we got up, went and availed ourselves of our free breakfast at our hotel, and got our stuff packed to head to the train station. At this point in time, we have packing down to a science. We LONG ago dispensed with the →
Sunrise and sunset are my two favorite times of day.
(Sorry about the Facebook "Like" buttons appearing at the top and bottom of each post -- I haven't figured out how to just get them to stay on the top of the post yet. I'll worry about it when I get home.) :-) Changing light at the Cologne Cathedral, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. Click on the picture to view a larger →
Euro Trip Days 42, 43, and 44 all rolled into one post
Sorry if I've managed to totally bore you all to death with all of the pictures of buildings... but there are more church pictures in this post. Only a couple, though. Promise. :-) On Friday (Day 42) we left Prague and headed to Neusorg, Germany. I had no idea where this was when I booked a place to stay -- all →
Euro Trip Day 41: Bones, churches, and bone churches
Today we got up and tried to get on a train at a relatively early hour to go to the town of Kutna Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage site about an hour from Prague, and home to a few really neat places. To be fair, we did make it on the train at a reasonable hour... and then we proceeded to →
