Euro Trip Day 25: I should be packing, so instead I’m writing today’s blog post
Tomorrow morning we’re heading out of here bright and early at 8AM to hop a train to Pécs, Hungary, yet another checkmark on a list of my attempts to see as many UNESCO World Heritage sites as possible (we’ve seen 3 so far on this trip: the old city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, the city [...]
Euro Trip Day 23: Sarajevo to Zagreb
This post is coming a bit late because it seems like our internet access always seems to die on us in the evening, which is when I’d prefer to be sitting around working on things like reservations for upcoming cities and blog posts and the like. In any case, most Zagreb museums are closed on [...]

Euro Trip Day 22: Bus ticket to Sarajevo, 24€. Watching men argue over a giant outdoor chess set: Priceless.
I’m posting early because we’re leaving for Zagreb this evening and I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to get to wifi between now and then. This morning we hit up the National Museum and the History Museum. They were both good, but the National Museum was very stark and depressing: half of it [...]

Euro Trip Day 17: Rain rain… is pretty nice, actually
So today we’d planned to go to Ostrog Monastery, a really neat-looking monastery built into the side of a cliff up in the mountains northeast of here. It would have been our first organized tour of this trip — for everything else, we’ve just been doing stuff on our own. Did you notice the “we’d [...]
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 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 [...]

Euro Trip Day 8: In which my camera never left my room
Both John and I woke up feeling kind of lousy today. His stomach, never all that settled when traveling, was being cranky, and I had a splitting headache, and that persistent cough I’ve had since coming back from London last summer that I’ve been chalking up to allergies has been getting steadily worse on this [...]
Euro Trip Day…7?? Already?!?!
Trip Day…7?? Already?!?! I have no idea if this video will come out rotated sideways or not, so if it is sideways, I apologize in advance. As high-tech as my phone is, it can’t rotate video. Lame. Speaking of my phone, this has to be the best travel invention ever (and no, Joel!, I’m not [...]
Some voices I could recognize anywhere
Totally randomly I ended up with a free ticket tonight to see Arlo Guthrie in concert at UC Davis. I grew up with both of my parents playing tapes (and then CDs, and now mp3s) of his music, and I’ve a huge soft spot in my music heart for him, but for some reason it [...]
Leahy concert in Modesto last night
So I should be leaving for work, but I wanted to get this video uploaded. I went to see Leahy in concert last night (second time I’ve seen them!) and it was SUCH a great concert. They really do put on a fun show. :-) This one is actually the six-year-old son of the fiddler [...]
