Goooooooooooooood morning and happy Monday! How was the Super Bowl? Any good parties? Good dips? Crunchy chips?? Add: “The Super Bowl parties” to the list of things I sometimes miss about the U.S. I don’t miss the game itself, but I miss the excitement… and the 7-layer taco dip. Super Bowl or no Super Bowl, […]
My brother and I spent 2.5 great days in Barcelona, enjoyed a lot of the incredible sites, and did it all relatively inexpensively. Here is what we did: Day One Stroll La Rambla, admiring the sites, shops, and hoards of people. Stop along the way for some incredible fruit cups or (overly sweet) 1 Euro […]
In no particular order, these are all some great games that I routinely “pull out of my bag’ when there is, um, like 25 extra minutes of class and I have nothing else to do. They’re simple, fun, and easy to adapt to all levels! [Click each title to see how to play the games] […]
This past Saturday, I did one of those “never in my life did I ever think I would do this, yet… here I am” things. Luis and I traveled from Geneva, Switzerland, all the way to Chamonix, France and then took the cable car over 3,000 feet above sea level via the Aiguille du Midi […]
Buenos dias!! Estoy escribiendo este post el miercoles…mejor tarde que nunca 😉 Me he despertado dos horas antes que tengo que irme para planear dos viajes pendientes pero son super estresantes. Mejor que escribo aqui y los dejo para mas tarde. #procrastination #enespanol Este fin de semana pasado ha sido increible…como siempre! Era lo […]
I really hope IV is four in Roman Numerals? Someone? Anyone? Anywho… Part I, Part II, and Part III Here we are! Finally on day four…the final day in Amsterdam (since we left bright and painfully early the next day). I was DETERMINED to get my stroopwaffle on the last day. And maybe a pancake, […]
Part I and Part II! Sorry these posts drag on and on (and on…) but wouldn’t want you to miss even one important detail!!! And neither would you. Like this potato we ate from a place called Jacketz, a restaurant based off of hugggge potatoes roasted with salt and oil and then you add the […]
Good morning!! It looks like I do have some time to get a few more posts up. I’m currently in Berlin, Germany (alone) so cozying up in the hostel with some tea and their free computer access is a pretty good evening/ early morning plan. Except this is a German keyboard so the ‘y’ and […]
Ok. I think I have a new favorite European city!! Amsterdam is in.cred.i.ble. From the beautiful buildings that line the canals (#houseGOALS) to the insane number of trendy, interesting, and cool cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops, to the coffeeshops, art museums, and abundance of activities…this extremely bike friendly city left me so impressed and a plan to […]
Making: plans for Amsterdam and Berlin!!! I CAN’T WAIT! Also, I made lots of Christmas cookies this week. I told the parents of my private students that we could make Christmas cookies in class and they agreed! Lots of fun and even more mess. Cooking: I made this garlic-lemon chicken & pasta and dare I say, it […]
