An Unexpected Weekend Theme
A bit of a Hawaiian theme going on here. Yesterday I had coffee with a friend and heard about her Hawaiian vacation, last night I watched The Descendants (good movie), then this morning the group at the farmer's market sang Hawaiian music and danced the Hula. I did not buy their CD, since for a good bit of my childhood my dad woke us up early in ( Read more... ) -
Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen, Denmark was the last city on our Scandinavian trip.
This is Ny Haven (New Harbor) though it's actually quite old. It's the touristy section of Copenhagen and the place where we boarded a tour boat to see the rest of the city.

Århus
After Stockholm we traveled to Århus -- the second largest city in Denmark. It's on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula and is a great city to visit because it's small enough to get to know it quickly, yet large enough to have a number of cultural sites.

Stockholm
We spent 5 days in Stockholm, the first city on our 3-city trip in Scandinavia. Evidently the weather had been quite cool and rainy before we came, but while we were there it was beautiful- sunny with temperatures in the low 70's. We loved how the city was both organized and relaxed and how the people were super-polite and yet laid-back - such a ( Read more... ) -

Amtrak's High Speed Rail Plan

The Non-Sweaty Sunday Miracle
Most Sundays I bike to the farmer's market, then ride with my backpack of produce to dance class and bike home after class. There was no a/c at the dance studio so I was sure I would be a puddle of sweat by the time I came home, but shockingly I wasn't. Hmm... maybe less humidity today? I was pretty happy to shower and hang out in the a/c at home ( Read more... ) -
More Cooking Classes
I love that there's a cooking school I can walk to from my house. Friday I walked to the cooking school to take a class on stocks, soups, and sauces. On Saturday I took another cooking class on fish dishes. Now I have excellent recipes for stock, soups, sauces, and fish dishes. My favorite dishes were the curry sauce and the monk fish with red ( Read more... ) -
And This is Why I Never Have Any Celebrity Sightings on My Own
I was walking to the grocery store, completely in my own world, when a guy in a car stopped and said, "Hi Rowena!" I thought, he's cute, I wonder why he knows my name. Then I pulled myself back to Earth, stepped closer to the car and saw it was my husband.
