William Shatner“speaking” French
After our harrowing adventures with easyJet, Brad and I were eager to relax. Kim and Renee (who you will recall, once again, from the easyJet escapade) shared a cab with us to the hotel, where they stayed as well.
The hotel was awesome (see Paris album one for some pics, including along Rue […]
For all you Doctor Who fans out there, “this is the story of how I [almost] died” (sorry, couldn’t resist).
It started out like a normal enough trip to the airport. We took a taxi to BCN, went through security, and decided to head to our gate. Little did Brad and I know what […]
Parc Güell
The next two days in Barcelona were a little less hectic than the first two (on day two, we hit up almost every major tourist trap sight in the city).
On day three, we headed to Gaudí’s attempt at landscaping - Parc Güell. At least, that’s what the tourbooks call it, his attempt at […]
The café where Brad and I had breakfast
Barri Gòtic
Day two of Barcelona started out a little bit more successfully than our first night in town. We had breakfast at a very European little outdoor café. They had a neat prix fixe menu - a ham and cheese sandwich (sorry Kosher peeps) and café […]
As promised, here is the first of several posts about what Brad and I did while we were in Europe. Barcelona started off with a bang…
Adventure #1: Imagine you’ve just been on planes and in airports for over 15 hours. You’re tired, grouchy, and have only eaten awful airplane/airport food. You’re […]
(Sorry about the title of this post - I couldn’t help it)
You’ll note that this post is categorized under “Adventures” - that’s because I’m about to take off (agh! I can’t stop the puns!) on what’s bound to be my greatest adventure yet.
I leave this Thursday for 10 days in Barcelona, Paris, and London, […]
Well, I’m back from a little hiatus from blogging - finals and vacation got the best of me.
I recently got my hands on a new digital camera and Flickr pro account (my photo sets). Hopefully now I’ll have a little bit more instant incentive to capture what’s going on in my life. I […]
Last week I IMed Danny, saying something to the effect of “I haven’t seen you in forever”. After flatly rejecting a hike (in my defense, it was freakin’ cold that day), he suggested the JFK Presidential Library. Having been the Nixon take on the same theme, I thought it would be fun.
I arrived […]
It’s starting to get colder here. Being the Californian that I am, when I saw it was supposed to hit the 50s this weekend, I knew I needed to act fast and get a jacket.
After asking around, I was told that the best place to accomplish this necessary goal was the Cambridgeside Galleria - […]
Yesterday, Amanda and I took a visit to The Getty in Los Angeles. Our mission was twofold: enjoy the art/gardens/architecture, and get some passable photos of yours truly.
Now, I’m not exactly Mr. Photogenic, so I’ve been wanted a few pictures of myself that I could use on Facebook, LJ, etc. Since I’ve […]
Yesterday, Brad, Amanda, Chris and I went geocaching in points north of home. For those not in the know, geocaching is kind of like a treasure hunt, except you get to play with a GPS device. You’re given a set of coordinates, and a clue or two, and you try to find hidden […]
