Meeting up in Madrid

May 15th. Slowly but surely I am getting through my Spain travels…here’s more from Madrid, starting up again right where I last left off. I woke up early(ish) to get beautified before meeting Alene at Starbucks.  It’s so much fun meeting up with friends when you are traveling.  I love my family, obviously, but it’s especially great when both your family and  your friends want to travel together.  I’m a lucky girl – although to be honest, since Alene and I have been friends from age 4, it’s almost more accurate to call her family. … Read more >

Another maoz meal

So my last post left off with us wandering the Latin Quarter attempting to locate the Pantheon.  Well, we did eventually find it. Pantheon means “every God,” which is weird considering it’s (now) a secular sight.  But originally it was a church, built for and dedicated to St. Genevieve (the patron Saint of Paris).  This Genevieve chick was quite the good luck charm for the French.  She protected Paris from the Barbarians in 500 AD and was then buried at the Pantheon.  Thousands of years later, Louis XV credited her for his recovery from serious… Read more >

Day three in Paris started similar to the rest, alarm clocks and coffee shops.  Yes shops, plural. Starbucks has soy milk, so the lactose intolerant people went there.  Paul has buttery pastries, so the dairy consumers went there. Sadly, Paul doesn’t allow photography inside.  I know that because I got in trouble the first time I went in, camera raised.  The second time I channeled my inner paparazzi peeping Tom and got these shots. Even loitering a few feet from the doorway (like a creep), I could smell how delicious their treats were.  Melted butter… Read more >

Raw Blah

I didn’t realize (raw) Wednesday had arrived (already?!) until I was making my lunch last night.  I guess that’s what happens when your schedule is completely random.  So this is what I packed to eat…but I wasn’t really feeling it. …so THIS is what I actually ate!   I heart this place.  There’s one in Union Square (easy walking distance from where I work).  My ravenous appetite was STILL in full force today, so I polished off the apple and odwalla bar by 9 am…meaning by the time I got off the unit for my… Read more >

“mind the gap”

I have been trying to delay the arrival of this day for a while now…but there’s no point in denying it, I’m back in the real world after 10 days of bliss. Vacation was amazing. I saw a lot, ate a lot, enjoyed a lot, worked out none – and it was fabulous! Exactly the way vacation is supposed to be. I didn’t take photos of my food, because frankly, that would have been obnoxious, and I just wanted to enjoy it all, guilt free.While dining out on this trip, I was definitely inspired to… Read more >
