Ireland, photo, Travel Musings

I took a fun tour the other day with Paddywagon Tours, and had a really great time. The guide was fun and informative, the other people on my tour were really nice, and the scenery was, of course, AMAZING! Here are some shots from along the way to give you an idea of why Ireland is now in the bunch for favorite places!

Photos of my day: Surfing near Kinsale

Ireland, Photo of My Day

A friend of mine took me surfing today at the beach in Garrettstown, near Kinsale, Ireland. It was pretty cold–hence the wetsuit, booties, and cap thingy–but totally worth it! The view from the water was phenomenal, too.

The hardest thing about it was changing out of the wetsuit with completely numb fingers. Most difficult thing ever!

Although I didn’t master the whole surfing thing on my first go, I did catch a few waves into shore and made it onto my knees, so that’s a start.

Is this not one of the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen? Completely unedited! That’s really what Ireland looks like, people!

Sorry it has been so long since I’ve posted! I am noticing a trend with this…I will try to get better about it!

Italy, Recipe, Things to do, Travel Musings

Lately, I”ve been blessed to be a guest in many homes of dear friends. I am reminded all the time how much I have to be grateful for, and the most important one of those is the love I am surrounded and supported by. Obviously, there aren’t many real gifts I can give to repay them for their love other than to return it; one of the tangible ways I can do that is to prepare some delicious food for them, and put my love into that, with the hopes that they can enjoy it. I totally support Penzey’s Spices motto: Love People. Cook them tasty food. 

So, here’s an easy recipe that I’ve used among family and friends, both old and new, which was taught to me by one of the most incredible women I know, who always does things with love and care. I may have posted this before, but I find that it’s relevant and worthy of a new posting! Plus, I’ve learned a few things in the many times I’ve made it that might be important to share, too.

The other day I took a little day trip from Mulhouse to Strasbourg, home of branches of the EU and one of the cities considered the “capital” of Europe! Mostly I wandered around, had lunch with a friend, and took a boat tour through the canals. Check out all the beautiful things I saw during my day in Strasbourg!

So THIS is what fall looks like!

Italy, Things to do, Travel Musings

So, in writing this post I realize that not once but twice before I have written about this town. Once in 2007, when I visited with my study abroad roomie, and once again in 2009 when I was working in Orvieto. Both of these entries seem like lifetimes away, yet I say practically the same thing about the town in both–and also here! (I read them after I had written this post.) It’s also interesting to note the difference between my 25-year-old self’s writing and my 20-year-old self’s, although the voice is much the same. Food for thought.
