A to Z 2016 Theme Reveal

It's that time of year again! The only time I blog consistently. <sigh> 

Ok, so last Monday was the actual theme reveal date. Oops! To be fair, I have no idea if I'm going to make it this year. I'm thinking I'll try to go through my photos and post one with a haiku each day. Maybe. We'll see. Here's a sample:

a church in Cuba

horse drawn carriage moving past

Santa Elvira

A to Z 2014: YOLO

{For the month of April I will be blogging alphabetically on the topic of travel tips.}

I'm feeding teh kitteh!!!

A to Z 2014: Camera

{For the month of April I will be blogging alphabetically on the topic of travel tips.}

Choosing your camera is a pretty big deal. You should not be buying a new camera just before a big trip. You'll want some time to get used to it. Learn the features.

Find some shade to check your work.

Vietnam for Christmas! Day 10 - Hanoi

Our last day in Vietnam was spent walking around Hanoi again. This time with a wider berth. I think we'll do this in photos again...

Military dudes walking up and down the sidewalk in front of the Federal Government Office.

Vietnam for Christmas! Day 9 - Hanoi

For our first full day in Hanoi, we followed a walking tour that Alyssa had found in the guide book she bought. I think this will be another photo post.

We three teas of orient are... delicious. Lunch at The Little Black Duck is highly recommended!

13 in 2013

I'm a bad blogger. I've done the A to Z challenge twice where you have to blog every day for the month of April but then I go months in a row without posting anything. It's the beginning of a new year so it's time for a quick review. I'm still planning to write some blogs on travel we did this past autumn once I find the time...

Coincidentally, I read 13 books and visited 13 countries in this past year of 2013. So that's how my review is going to go this year. In chronological order (note that the Philippines has been our temporary residence and all trips came and went from here this year):


1. The Philippines (The Street Lawyer by John Grisham) - I live in the Philippines right now so it seems an injustice to try to summarize it but here goes: It's really hot and the people are really nice. Done. Grisham is classic and my husband said this book changed the course of his life when he was in school so there.

This is a mirror in the middle of a fountain in front of the Grand Casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco. I think that might be the Hotel Paris in the background on the left. Such a beautiful place!
