Time for a recap . . .

For the moment I'm in Frankfurt (as pictured above) but will be leaving for München and Oktoberfest tomorrow. So far this has pretty much been the pace of the trip. Quick! We stayed in London for 3 nights at a hostal in Lewisham. It was even more awesome than you#d have imagnied. Folks there were awesome and Richard and I had some great times!

Now we're in Frankfurt and things are just as great! Last night we went out to try some local apple wine and some traditional Frankfurt foods. What we got was a 10 liter jug (it's the smallest they had) of apple wine and a HUGE plate os meat layed over a bed of saurkraut. Seriously, it was a plate of meat! Sausages, ham, whatever! It was delicious! And much to my dismay and misinformation it cost €11.50.

Today we forced ourselves to wake up before 2pm and are going to go walking and exploring for a bit.

It's the theme song.

Put this in your I-Pod, I dare you!

On the road again . . .

Yes folks, it's that time again. The time to cast off the shackles of daily life in Canada in favor of adventure in Europe. A time to gain, a time to lose. A time to rend, a time to sew. A time to love, a time to hate. A time for peace, I swear it's not to late. But enough of this rhetoric, it's for the byrds!


My plans thus far are as follows . . .

23rd - Departure to London, England
24th - Arrive in London, England
27th - Arrive in Frankfurt, Germany
30th - Arrive in Munich for the last week of Oktoberfest
Sometime after that - Some other stuff

Yes, I find the secret of successful travel is to have a carefully laid out itinerary.

August Post!!

Shoot! I almost missed a month!

Here's the most of it!

I've been trying to find a way to post some of the 'best of' pictures from my year abroad. (that's the year I spent in Europe, not the year I spent as a woman. The pictures from THAT year are well hidden and for a good reason!)

So here's what I've got so far . . .

I still have to post Norway, the Netherlands, Scotland and Wales and to compoung my frustration, I'll have to wait 'till next month to friggin upload them too thanks to the fact that I don't wanna buy a 'Pro' account!

All that aside, it is now time to look on dear friends. To vicariously bask in the Portuguese sun, to marvel at my adventures, and enjoy a few of the highlights of my year abroad!

'Tis a storm a brewin'

So it's been a while eh?

Today I had a haphazard 'what the hell is going on here anyway?' type of work day where nothing was planned and I just kind of ran all over the place. First laying sod in the thunder and lightening and then doing the same in the dry sweltering heat. But I did finish early . . .

And came home and juggled. I should have mowed the lawn but I couldn't be arsed. I'm hoping to borrow the 'big' mower from work anyway to make things a little easier!

Dancing fool

I just felt I should publish something on here. Anything really, just to make it seem like I wasn't neglecting my blog.

The sad thing is that I can't really be arsed to write anything. Well, at least nothing particularly interesting. I could write about my 17 hour work day yesterday, or the BBQ that followed. I could write about going to pick my brother up from the Buffalo airport this Saturday or that after that I'll be heading into Toronto to a housewarming party and possibly to hear Ashley McIsaac play a free show. Heck I could write about anything really!

But I won't.

Actually, I changed my mind. Here . . .

If you wanna connect with someone and get some art in the mail, send some art of your own to these folks along with a little letter explaining that you want to trade. . .
