With 6,000 photos. I don’t even know where to begin, so I skipped to Madrid for now. I am also E-X-H-A-U-S-T-E-D, so I’m furiously rushing through this post so I can go to bed.

This is me in The Valley of the Fallen in Madrid. Read about this place here.

The day is here! Wrapped up everything at work and ready to see just a little more of the world with my my other half. A Photo A Day is on hold for 15 days but it is going to resume with fresh travel photos, so hang tight!!! Did I mention that I like creating traditions?

Please place your order(s) as usual but please note a slight delay in processing and shipping: I will only be able to process orders placed between August 2nd-17th upon my return to Toronto on August 18th. From there, it’ll take me about a week to ship your order! Rest assured that your order WILL be looked after, so fear not! Shop and cart as usual and I will be back in touch in no time! :)

I’ll see you in 15 days, darlings!

I have to still get through one day of work tomorrow and then officially checking out at 5:00PM and then FLYING at 11:00PM!!! Holy smokes. I might squeal.

I love this song. I love non-mainstream soulful female singer-songwriters like Regina Spektor, Lissie, Norah Jones, Christina Perri, Brandi Carlile, Carla Bruni, Ellie Goulding, Fiona Apple, Ingrid Michaelson, Kelsey Brown, Sarah McLachlan, Adele, and so many more I have yet to discover. I know Sarah McLachlan and Adele are relatively mainstream but they’re exceptions. Hear these women out and give your ears a treat.

PS. Goodbye July.

Wednesday, Sunny, 27 degrees
Thursday, Sunny, 29 degrees

95% packed. 100% excited!!!

I {wish} I didn’t know when I’d be back again.
Europe in 3ish days. Flying out Tuesday night, 11:00PM.

Every month of the year would be July.
I am 85% packed. I can’t believe how soon I’ll be waking up in Prague.

How does one eat such cute food anyways? Some foods are too pretty to be appetizing. Ever feel that way? A friend of mine gave me three of these macaroons and I can’t get myself to eat them. I don’t think they’ll make it out of the tupperware anytime soon. I’d rather save them for another photo somewhere down the road.

I thought sheep were supposed to be cute but they’re actually very dirty up close, especially their bums. I guess it doesn’t help that they’re white. You can see every spec of dirt on them. They managed to look clean and cuddly in this photo, but they’re really not.
