Paris here we come!

By
So not much to update since the last time. I'm trying to think what we even did the past two weeks. Well last weekend was roller derby nationals in Atlanta, GA and is the first time we haven't gone to nationals in...4 years! We have gone the past 4 years so it was a little sad not to be there. However they do stream it live for a small fee so we did that so last weekend lots of roller derby was watched! Luckily it was on the east coast so it was only 6 hours difference so we didn't stay up too too late (Sat I think we got to bed at like 3am) and we got to watch Gotham win again! It was fun watching from the couch, but I much prefer to be there. I mean when I would be yelling at the TV and clapping and cheering when something good happened and it is just not the same when it is just me doing that. The claps echo in the room...Next year is going to be in Milwaukee which I don't really know anything about, but apparently they have a lot of vegan food. We shall see if we make it there.

Let's see what else....At Raymond's coworkers housewarming party I was talking with a lady who just started her own business and she was saying she needed help with accounting things. We met last week and I started helping her with a budget and such and I am pretty excited about it. She doesn't have a lot to spend, but it is fun and gives me something to do. The plan is to meet once a week and go over everything and help out where I can. Fun!

Hmm....That is about it I guess. Oh one other thing - Raymond came home last week and told me how they forced his team lead to take a vacation. Apparently he hadn't taken time off in a while and was looking a little stressed so he has to go take some time off. Crazy! We also went out to eat last Friday and ran into one of Raymond's coworkers and his girlfriend I think. We were talking and Raymond was saying he hasn't used any of his vacation yet and they were just like what?!? You got here in June and you haven't taken a vacation yet?? Which is just completely different from the you are going on vacation?? mentality I am used to. Different in a good way.

Alright well Raymond is home now so off to get packed and ready to head to Paris in the morning!! I am so excited! We are going to eat lots of good food hopefully and wander. It is going to be nice having a week in the city as last time it was only 2 days. Then next weekend we have the first European roller derby tournament to go to right here in Berlin! I am very excited!! I should have lots to post about once we get back :)

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

By
So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums.  First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed.  Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

By
  Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post   I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful!   After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
