Tuesday Travel Blogging – Tunisia
I know I promised this last week, but things have been busy (sister in town, etc) and, in my defense, I’m being true to the country by putting up this post according to Tunisia Time (i.e., totally late). There are a ton of pictures below the fold, because I took more than 600 and I [...]

I am finally back in Hamburg, after 10 days in Tunisia. The vacation was fantastic, if a little… interesting. I went with my little sister, and we saw a lot of the country, were hosted by my sister’s lovely friend Isaac in Tunis, and met a whole lot of friendly Tunisians and ex-pats. The upsides: [...]

I’m in Tunisia, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be skipping Tuesday Travel Blogging. Today: Mjlet, a lovely little island off the coast of Croatia. I was there in August of 2006, and unfortunately the weather wasn’t very good (it was overcast for days), so the light in the pictures isn’t great. It was beautiful nonetheless. [...]

I’m heading off on vacation to lovely Tunisia this evening, and won’t be back until the 28th. Lucky for you all, I have two spectacular guest bloggers lined up to hold down the fort while I’m gone. So you shouldn’t miss my “posting like a crack-addled monkey” (Zuzu’s words) too much. I’ll let them introduce [...]

I’m in the middle of finals — yes, my program in Germany splits the semester in half, so we get two sets of finals — but looking at pretty pictures always cheers me up. This week’s travel blogging is Portugal, which was my last trip. I sadly didn’t have time to head southward, but I [...]

Jessica has Monday Monty Blogging and Zuzu does some Junebug blogging (although she should do more because I LOVE that dog) and the rest of you feministas have Friday Cat Blogging. I have no cats, and God willing I never will. I have no dog, although I desperately want one. The only thing I’m taking [...]
...read moreNo, really, this is the best song ever.
I have had this song stuck in my head for days now. And I know I already posted the video, but damn, it deserves a repeat. (Have I mentioned that I would totally be Andy Samberg’s Jim Cavezial?) Thanks for all your Portugal tips. I am reading them and they’re much appreciated, so additional suggestions [...]

Nothing makes you paranoid like knowing the government is carrying a catalog of which Nora Roberts paperbacks you buy at the airport on your trip to grandma’s house.: The U.S. government is collecting electronic records on the travel habits of millions of Americans who fly, drive or take cruises abroad, retaining data on the persons [...]
...read moreBerlin tips?
I’m meeting my mama there this weekend. I know Berlin is the new Buenos Aires (and Buenos Aires is the new Paris) so there’s a ton to see and do, but what are some good mother-daughter activities? I have a guidebook so I know the basics, but any off-the-beaten-path suggestions are welcome. Also, I always [...]
