I love this picture!

I have this as my desktop, and every time I see it I get excited about the trip, and I realize that it's almost upon us. Just over two weeks until we fly, and less than a month after that, we'll be on the bridge where the photo was taken. (Prague, btw).

So I probably won't be updating this blog anymore, until we come back. Instead we will have a travel blog, which we will try to update at least monthly :P Stay posted for the link.

Oh, and for more pretty desktop images, check out the Czech Tourism website.

Photo: shoes

I felt like posting something. Here is a photo from a while back... April actually. A pair of shoes along the Iron Horse trail. Notice the vignetting. I hope it doesn't detract too much from the image.

Pictures from the antipode

Well, it's not quite the antipode, but China anyway.


A cool fern unravelling.















Buddha.



















A big hairy caterpillar... actually only an inch long.

iPod: RIP

Goodbye iPod. You served me well over the years. Who knew you would go by drowning in a sea of egg whites.

It's official!

We're going to Europe! We bought the tickets yesterday! We'll be leaving on August 12th, and returning to Canada on December 13th. That's a looooooong time.

Hopefully having the tickets and the looming departure date will make us get our butts in gear and start planning where we want to go. Europe isn't that big... is it?
