http://livefromchicity.blogspot.com/2011/07/not-maybe-definitely.html
Diaries of a Nomad. Friday, July 8, 2011. Not maybe, definitely. Nothing too crazy has happened lately! I've just been busy working. I even worked on the 4th of July! A couple of days ago, I was running, and I went a little further than usual along the lake path. I ended up "running into" Fullerton Beach! I was pretty excited (Land ahoy! Why do I have such horrible luck with electronics? I also absolutely loved their Aztec Elixir drink (ancho and chipotle chillies cinnamon vanilla bean dark chocolate), a...

Diaries of a Nomad. Thursday, June 23, 2011. With me that were headed there. So I followed them, at a short distance. is that creepy? They are pretty fast, too. I think it's great that science can help people overcome obstacles to do some pretty amazing things. I finished the 5K in 29:10, and my average per mile was 9:24. Not too bad! I should just keep runnin'. Please enjoy: http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? The pan pizza was delicious. When faced with the last piece of the pan, I may or may not have gu...

Spanish Sojourn: June 2011
http://ramblewithrachel.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me". Saturday, June 25, 2011. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 All Computers Go To Heaven. But I'm getting there and I want to get this thing finished, so there will be a larger effort (maybe not during pageant week this week but soon after). So, there's that. But for now it is Friday and it is warm outside and I cannot imagine sitting here and writing much more. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Chaos, control. chaos, control. you like? And so much more...

Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me". Friday, January 28, 2011. Ode to a Chino, Trickery, and Others. So I'm writing a lot of posts, but it was sort of a belated New Year's Resolution to keep this up.and I am nothing if not a faithful resolution keeper (I also have really awkward breaks during the day and not a lot of work yet). Sorry if you're "following" this and getting annoyed. Ode to a Chino. What could be so great about such a store? We got a pretty co...

Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me". Thursday, March 31, 2011. 20 reasons why I love Lisboa. Reason #1: El Rio Tajo! El rio Tajo,. Which I just learned is called the Tagus river in English, actually starts in Lisbon and stretches all the way to Toledo (it is the longest river on the Iberian peninsula)! I realize this probably seems like a lame way to start my “great things about Portugal” list, but the rio Tajo. Reason #2: Home Hostel and Irene. Another abs...

Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me". Saturday, December 31, 2011. I noted that the views on this blog have seriously spiked again in the past few days since I've been posting these. Explanation: I am preparing to print the book courtesy of Blurb's printing service but to do that I need to have all of my posts up. So, things that have been sitting on my hard drive are migrating to the web. That's all. I'm still in America doing American things. There was als...

Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me". Sunday, February 27, 2011. En un lugar de La Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme. Those would be the opening lines of Don Quixote up top. Check it. I will always love Wishbone. Translation and continuation: “. And then about 800-900 pages of magic happen. I feel lucky that I’ve read el Quixote. To its cultural traditions. Exactly. But here's the thing. No one would shop there if they stayed open during that ti...

Spanish Sojourn: This scene is memory and is therefore nonrealistic
http://ramblewithrachel.blogspot.com/2011/12/this-scene-is-memory-and-is-therefore.html
Afoot and lighthearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me". Tuesday, December 27, 2011. This scene is memory and is therefore nonrealistic. Since I was about fifteen I have staunchly believed that Tennessee Williams's. Budapest has more monuments than any city I've ever seen. It seems like every corner has a statue or a flag that represents something or someone in history. The prevalence of memory really distinguishes Budapest from other cities I've been to. In retrospect, I thin...
