Euro Trip Day 16: What a neat, neat day
Today started off early… too early. Because I couldn’t sleep, I went to bed sometime after 4:30… only to have to wake up at 7:45 for church. Whee! I can’t remember if I mentioned it here or not, but here in Sveti Stefan, we’re actually staying with a coworker of mine whose husband’s family lives [...]
Euro Trip Day 14: Best. Sunset. EVER
(The headline is a Simpsons reference, btw.) This is going to be short because I’m exhausted — literally, I’m falling asleep writing this post. Today we got up at dawn and got to the bus terminal REALLY early and waited for our bus, in order to avoid yesterday’s snafu. The bus ride wasn’t long distance-wise, [...]
Euro Trip Day 11: Hoping that this is as unfun as it gets
I’ve had better days. We slept in a bit today, had a leisurely breakfast, and then decided to rent bikes and head out to explore the island a bit. However, we somehow took a wrong turn, and ended riding 3 kilometers up a REALLY BIG HILL. I know, only 3 km — cry me a [...]
Euro Trip Day 10: In which the entire day can be summed up in one picture
. Slept in, went to the beach, went to the grocery store, ate lunch, went back to the beach. Read, napped, swam, sunned. It’s a brutal life. Sorry for the boring post… it was a boring day, but so so so heavenly to have that boring day. (It was a beach day because we’re saving [...]
Euro Trip Day 9: In which we get to Korčula and I wonder why we didn’t just go straight here
(Side note — the island’s name is actually pronounced “KOR-chula” — the č in Croatian is a ch sound.) So today I discovered one of the little problems with traveling and not really having a set schedule… one forgets what day it is fairly easily. This morning I woke up gradually shortly after 8, as [...]

9:15 PM: Late rainy evening looking east over the Puget Sound
9:15 PM: Late rainy evening looking east over the Puget Sound, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. No picture can do justice to the quality of light, or the cool evening air, or the gentle rain, or the peace of this place. So you’ll just have to use your imagination. It’s beautiful here, y’all. .

Seen on my way to work
Random 001, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I know those of you who live in climates where it snows in the winter are probably laughing at me right about now, but keep in mind that I’m a native Southern Californian, so driving to work and seeing snow-covered mountains (even if they are a 75-mile drive from [...]
One of the reasons I love Sacramento
One of the reasons I love Sacramento is the relative proximity of everything. We’re about an hour and a half from Tahoe/snow/skiing, an hour an a half (ok, or longer depending on traffic) from San Francisco and the coast, we’re a decently large city but can easily get to the Bay Area if we want [...]
