Big Easy Express

Submitted by Kaitlin on Tue, 03/26/2013 - 18:09

Last week was no good. Well, I mean there was some good, I got to hang out with two blogger buds. But other than that, no good. First on Monday, I got slammed into an OV Chipkaart check out machine on the bus. If you don't know what that is, it is a metal machine that you check in and out of busses, metros, trains, and water buses here in the Netherlands. Then on Tuesday, I got into my first bike accident. Lily will tell you that it doesn't count, but it totally gave me a limp so it does.

Cruise in Russia

I first met Jana at a now defunct book club here in the Netherlands. I thought she was super sweet, and I really wanted to learn more about her, which is why I was so excited when she said she wanted to be part of my For the Love of Travel Series! I hope you have as much fun getting to know Jana through this post as I have. And don't forget to check out her blog over at Breaking One Hundred!

Peace Love Unity- East Side Gallery, Berlin

I mentioned a few posts ago that I am reserving my judgment of Berlin until I visit it again on my own. But, I did really really love the East Side Gallery, as much as I loved the artwork, I love the messages written on the wall even more. Here are some of my favorites. 

 

Dawn of Peace- East Side Gallery, BerlinSuch a beautiful statement!

5 Things

Submitted by Kaitlin on Thu, 03/14/2013 - 11:47

Lily called me out on this one, and since I love any chance to over share, I'll contribute my 5 things to the pot.

1. I can not stand silence. Seriously, much to the chagrin of my 5 hostel roommates last week in Berlin, I have to have noise. Unless, I'm sleeping. Which is why if I am home alone, there is always background noise.

I've had so much fun learning about Sarah's adventures and it looks like soon she will be moving closer to my neck of the woods! You can learn more about Sarah at Life in a State of Wanderlust! 

Berlin in a Blur-Sachsenhausen and East Side Gallery

Submitted by Kaitlin on Tue, 03/12/2013 - 17:09

I'm back babies! Berlin was crazy. I'm still processing it all. I'm not sure how I feel about the city. I'm going to wait to reserve judgment until I go back with my own agenda and not with my whole class. After all, there wasn't that much time to venture out and see the city on my own. But, I did have a lot of fun bonding with my classmates. I learned some interesting things and now we have some great catch phrases from the trip!  Oh, and that salt should never, ever, ever be put on pineapple!
