I suppose last weekend in Paris wasn’t enough French culture for me, I’m ready to push forward to Montreal tomorrow! And you can be sure I will be on the hunt for some poutine. It’ll look like this, but with cheese curds:

NOT poutine, but halfway there…
I got my first taste of poutine during my one-year [...]

The Walls Are Alive

When Iris and I were walking in Paris last week, she spotted this building with plants growing in its walls! It turned out to be Musée du Quai Branly:

Candles for Carli

Reykjavík, Iceland

In January February 2006 Carli was murdered* in northeast Pennsylvania, not far from where I was living. Apparently it was all over the news but I was oblivious to everything at the time. On July 9 [update: October 15] Carli’s husband stands [...]

Fading Twilight

On Turning 35 in Iceland

June 18, 2007
2006 was a tough year for me, easily the toughest full year of my life. Towards the end of 2006, I knew it would take all my resolve to see the rest of the year through. Christmas filled me with dread.
I decided to go to Cuba. It was the best decision [...]

Seljalandsfoss

Seljalandsfoss according to Wikipedia (a scant entry, but I’m sure it’ll expand).

La Tour Eiffel

The challenge with the Eiffel Tower is being at the right angle to get more than an outline. I took this picture at a lower angle, along the bank of the Seine.

Irony in Iceland

We laughed and laughed over this one… it was in the middle of “nowhere”, along the road north of Reykjavik toward Akranes.
