Moulin de Braux was a very special experience for me, and one I will cherish. The farm is set in Braux which is close to Dijon in the Burgundy region of France. As I took the train into the area, I saw huge fields of luscious yellow flowers. Not dandelions as you [...]
This will be a more lengthy post than usual (saying a lot) since Barcelona was a very full and fun time on our trip. First, coming from Granada we had trouble finding full accommodation for the entire length of our stay. We ended up at two different couch surfing spots, plus a day [...]
Subconsciously knowing that we would really like Granada, we ended up giving it more breathing space in our itinerary. It is hard to describe just why Granada was a fantastic city to explore. First, there is actually something to explore… a complex network of alley ways and sudden apparitions of graffiti (not just [...]
I am starting to summarize Spain in fewer words so I can finally catch up to where I am now, Bern, Switzerland. After we finished exploring Madrid, we hiked out on the train system for a day trip to Toledo. What a picturesque town, barely any of my photos of the approach of [...]

As I expected, I had no problems whatsoever eating in London. I even had vegan food that was not all that bad on the airplane! Soon after I arrived I bought some fruit, pita and hummus at a local grocery store for breakfast and snacks. The first day, Donal took me out [...]
One of the things that stood out most to me in London, was that despite the fact that the city was crowded and loud, interspersed throughout were beautiful gardens, called squares - little pockets of quiet and luscious spring growth. As I got used to the city I began to seek them out, peering [...]
(at Kensington Palace - and there’s a 159 more photos of London where that came from, once I got over my camera-shy anti-tourist thing). Well, it has been an eventful and overall great experience in London. Sorry for not blogging until now, I’ve been wanting to experience everything and then write about [...]
