A few days ago I was layering with wool sweaters. Today I could almost, almost get away with sandals. Oh Sunshine, please stay here for a while!
I get a strange delight out of taking pictures of the sun. It makes me feel as if I’m tricking the laws of nature because I don’t look at it while I’m taking the picture, but later I can stare directly at the image all I want and not worry about going blind or any of those other horrific things that can supposedly happen… I feel so clever!
Yesterday we ate dinner down by the water and I was happy to spend a little time in the sunshine afterward. I’m trying to remember to bring my camera with me more often.
I’m still constantly rocking back and forth between the elation of leaving my job for something new and the panic of venturing into the unknown.
Travel plans are in constant flux. I think we have decided we will have to rule New Zealand out for now as getting there is just too expensive. The last few days I’ve been thinking more and more about South America. I’m realizing that what I am needing now is someplace quiet. I don’t want to spend a lot of time in any major cities. Wild beaches and tropical jungles sound particularly appealing.
…But then again, who knows, tomorrow I may want to go to Paris!

i’m sure wherever you go you will have a blast! are you thinking mexico or further south? i’ve always wanted to go to the mayan ruins. those seem so magical to me.
costa rica is inexpensive once you get there but i’m not sure on the getting there.
The idea of a trip to a beach sounds like heaven. We just watched a travel show that showcased The Turquoise Coast in Turkey. It was magnificent and is now way up on my dream list of places to go.
South America sounds amazing. I would love to go there, but there are so many places around the U.S. I want to see first. And then I have to go to Japan!
Love the pictures…where were they taken?
Hello Laura – They say that Buenos Aires is the Paris of South America! Although, the thought of intense city vacationing can be mentally draining enough, especially after 7-pages into the guide book! Sometimes it’s pleasant just to visit someplace bursting with refreshing soulfulness. Hello sunshine! :)
How does Vietnam sound?
Exciting!! The dinner by the water sounds so nice! Suns are so fascinating and awesome! The boat is so cool! South American and New Zealand sound so awesome and exciting! :)
You all have such wonderful ideas! Updated post on travel is pending… I have thought a lot about Vietnam and Turkey is a long-treasured destination! Just about anywhere will make me happy at this point… Happy weekend all, a new post is a ‘brewing!
