Sights and Sounds of Florence
I got to spend one Saturday in Florence, Italy – a city steeped in the history of art, music, politics, and Italian culture. In the pedestrian streets around Florence’s famous art galleries, every square foot is filled with musicians and souvenir reproductions of famous paintings for sale….

Hiking along the Italian Coast
I shared a few photos from our hike through Cinque Terre, Italy here. The seaside, the views – it’s lovely. : ) We started out early in the day by grabbing some fruit at one of the small streetside markets…. Our hike wound along the coast of the Mediterranean through 5 towns, some vineyards, and

In and Around Karlštejn Castle

Standing There in Budapest
Just a quick update… I’ve been working in Budapest, Hungary for a couple of days – this city is great! I really love it. When I get back to Prague, I’ll have more time to show you some more photos – but until the big reveal, here’s some sneak-peak photos of where I’ve been walking.

Still Kickin’
First, my Kindle broke. Then my iPod semi-broke. To keep the theme going, I broke my sunglasses… and after that my Internet went out.

Over the Weekend
I love weekends in Europe. Last Saturday, I went to a Czech outdoor festival with looots of great food…. And then, on Sunday, I went up to one of the highest places in Prague with great views of the city. There was this calm park… …plus several rose gardens…. And towards the end of the
