Hamburg 2014

By -


Since I just posted about the other German cities we went to I thought I would pull together a picture post from our weekend trip to Hamburg last year. It was a great trip- lots of good food, amazing weather (the first sunny, warm weekend after winter) and tons of street art and graffiti. Really I thought we had a lot here, but Hamburg seemed like it was just everywhere. We definitely need to take another weekend trip soon. So enjoy the photos















These are big car elevators for the Elbe tunnel - tunnel under the Elbe river. You can walk down the stairs or take the elevator and then walk across.


No good photos of the tunnel




But every few feet there were these animal tiles on the wall

Raymond liked these guys on the public restrooms


There was a tiny mineral museum that was actually really nice



You can walk to the top of the planetarium and look out over the park/city

Railay Beach, Thailand - Day 1

  Getting to Railay Beach from Bangkok kind of takes forever. We had taken the overnight train from Bangkok to Surat Thai where we had to switch to a bus to take us to Krabi. I slept much better on the train that night. I had put in my earplugs and only woke up a few times. It was great. I woke up around 6 and was ready to go. Raymond was just like you are so wakey! I was just like yeah - I actually slept! So I was all refreshed and ready to go.    We had picked up some banana muffins in Bangkok for breakfast, as well as leftovers from our feast the night before, and the muffins were delicious! We should have gotten more of them than we did. So we got to Surat Thani and had to switch to a bus like I said. It was a bit confusing where we should go and what was going on, but we got on the bus and it took us into Surat Thani Town. That bus was really nice so I thought the trip to Krabi would be great. Only we had to wait a bit and switch buses and the new bus, the one that took us

Rome 2018

Oh man, so I know I am always trying to stay up to date on this travel blog thing, but I always fail at it. Partly because I forget about it and do other things, but since covid we are not traveling for the foreseeable future I thought now would be a great time to post my old travel photos! Might not be much detail on where/what that kind of thing, but I still like having picture posts for places I have been so I can look back on them if I go there again.  First up - Rome in the summer of 2018! Now summer is NOT my ideal time to go to Rome. It was so so so hot! I was dripping sweat and super gross the whole time. The only reason I went was there was an author event there so I took a long weekend with my friend Savannah. She has been before so she was kind of the tour guide for us when we were wandering around the city and even though I felt like I was going to die it was so hot we had a lot of fun. The author event wasn't downtown so we stayed out at the hotel where it was w

US Road Trip 2018: WA-Central CA

Phew it has been forever! I know I am super terrible about updating the site, but I do like having posts for me to look back on and see what we did where. I like having the photos all organized, I am just super bad at doing it. Last year when the pandemic hit I thought okay we are obviously not traveling anywhere I can update the blog! Only I didn't have the mental energy to do so. And then I kind of forgot about it as the world was kind of crazy. But now things have seemed to calm down a bit. Even though it is still a pandemic and we can't go do all the things it feels like there could be an end in sight. So back to trying to update all out old trips!  First up - a US road trip! Raymond's brother was getting married in Vegas so we decided to make a road trip out of it. I started off with a week in Seattle to visit Gillian and friends while Raymond worked from Vancouver. He had been planning on going over anyways for work so it worked out well. I don't have many photos
