…But hey, just imagine that title in a sweet accent! Because that’s how all the British people talk. With AWESOME accents. Seriously, I wish I had a British accent. Pretty much more than anything in the world (although not more than I want to live in the Amsterdam cake shop and go to the Rijksmuseum [...]


Hi everyone!
I just posted the post about Amsterdam, but I recently found out I really do have a bunch of readers (yay! Hi everyone!), so I wanted to warn you that I may not be posting much in the next three weeks.  In fact the only reason I was able to finish that post today [...]


Hahaha, I’m giggling away in the library because the phrase in the title is one I snitched off of a teach yourself Dutch website which I hope to be making use of this summer (yes, I’m going to attempt to teach myself Dutch. Japanese, too. So what?!). The phrase is an idiom that basically means [...]


You should probably read the Siena entry below this one first!

No time yet to post about Rome (maybe later today, but probably not — midterms coming up, alas…) — but while I am waiting for the library to open in 20 minutes, a quick post.
I woke up earlier than I’d meant to this morning and when I went outside, the sun was beautifully shining, there [...]


[Rome: thick, lush, heavy -- a quote from my family friend, the wonderful Steve who gave me some fantastic recommendations for Rome, as you will see...]
I did get to post at least HALF of Rome tonight, since my internet is working, hurrah! So let’s begin…

Hi everyone, so sorry I haven’t written lately! I am swamped with midterm stuff (it feels like I’m busier than I ever was at Vassar, though that can’t be true!) and also a bad cold and since my internet has been really unreliable at home I haven’t had time to write here. But I have [...]
