We have returned from Corsica. We went hiking every day, tried regional specialties like brocciu and vin de myrthe, stuck our feet in the Mediterranean, met local characters on the bus and saw hundreds of lizards. It was great.
The rest of my pictures are on flickr, as usual, and Joe’s will be available once he goes […]
So last Wednesday, having just barely unpacked from Morocco, we threw some long underwear in our backpacks and rushed to the train station in the grey drizzle. (Somehow, we almost always end up rushing to the train station, no matter how well we plan. It’s also usually my fault…) Anyway, a few hours later, we […]
I know it’s not a spectacular photo in and of itself, but it’s a good place to start. I took this photo on one of the largest streets in the Fès medina. The old city is a tangle of tiny alleys and dead-ends. No cars can fit, so the only way to […]
Anyone know what kind of bird this is? Joe and I saw it when we were walking back into town from a nearby lake called Lac Kir (sadly, it is not full of cassis liqueur). The bird was just hanging out, fishing, didn’t really seem to notice or care that we were exclaiming […]
We have returned from our lovely weekend in the Jura, and I am tired and a little bit sore. Despite this, Joe and I have both already uploaded our photos.
We took two nice hikes–one to see the Château de Joux, and one to a viewpoint close to the Franco-Swiss border called Le Grand Taureau […]
I got into graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. If all goes well, I’ll have a master’s and a doctorate in French literature in about seven years
Sorry I didn’t say the name of the school sooner–I was being superstitious. But anyway, now I am happy.
No word about funding yet–they don’t decide until April–so keep your […]
Also, Joe and I are going to go to Morocco in February and we’re going to do this and stay somewhere like this and Joe is looking over my shoulder making me feel ridiculous about everything I type here, but I am so excited I could jump up and down.
Everything we did in Paris was great. I was going to name some favorites, as a lazy way of describing the trip, but really, it was all good. The market on the Boulevard de Grenelle on Sunday morning, under the elevated métro track, was incredible. I am not very good at outdoor markets, on account of […]
Happy birthday, Joe! Even though you weren’t surprised by the party, I hope you were surprised by the cake.
We’re back. Even after two whole days of laying around our apartment, I still haven’t managed to write about the vacation or upload all of my photos. However, some of the photos are online, so for now I offer you my flickr and Joe’s flickr. Enjoy.
And before I go to bed on […]
