The trip is drawing to a close. We have spent the last couple of weeks in Dublin, while my mother flew home to go to a work meeting. While she was gone, Jack and I participated in a treasure hunt around Dublin to win tickets to meet Macklemore. We won them just before someone else… Continue reading April 21st

Hostels
Since the end of December, Jack and I have stayed at three different hostels in two different cities and countries. The first one we stayed in was on Cow Gate street, by Grass Market, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Cow Gate has many clubs, hostels and bars on it. Even later than three am, you can hear… Continue reading Hostels
Edinburgh 0.3
We are once again back in Edinburgh! We arrived here a couple days ago, and are staying by the docks. The day we got here, Jack and I went to stay at a hostel for three nights, because it was so fun last time. There, we met a cool diving instructor who had apparently taught… Continue reading Edinburgh 0.3
Ocean Hike
When we went to Tintagel, we stayed there for three nights. The second day we were there, we went to the castle. The castle was on a cliff side overlooking the ocean, which was a different shade of blue than most oceans I have seen. All that was left of it was a few ruins.… Continue reading Ocean Hike
Hogmanay
Last week for New Year’s, Jack and I went to Hogmanay, a big festival in downtown Edinburgh. There were concerts and a street party and all kinds of events. We got tickets to the street party and rented a hostel for the night. It was very fun – they lit off fireworks every hour from… Continue reading Hogmanay
York Minster
On our way back to Edinburgh for Christmas, we stopped in York. My aunt Sara joined us there because she was playing a concert there. It was very flooded, and I saw several streets under water. I went to York Minster and saw Evensong. The cathedral was very beautiful and very elegant. After we left… Continue reading York Minster
Le Blog Post – Dallas To Washington Edition
Unfortunately, even though we were all longing to be thrust back into the teeming culture and life style of the land of the free, we couldn’t, at first. Our hotel was in the middle of a field, which in turn was surrounded by complicated freeways. We ate Domino’s pizza for dinner, which was absolutely delicious… Continue reading Le Blog Post – Dallas To Washington Edition
Amazoning
We were forced to awake early in our Lima House the day we departed for the Amazon. The flight was short, and when I stepped outside the plane it wasn’t as nearly as hot as I had expected. We waved down three motos and loaded our bags and then headed to the combi hub, where… Continue reading Amazoning
Day Five and Six
So begins day five and six. It was decided we would go into Lima, so after preparation we waited for the bus on the dirt strip between roads for the bus. We caught one to Lima that was only moderately filled with people, but on the way it rapidly became jam packed. It was quite… Continue reading Day Five and Six
Back in Peru
We’re back in Peru. A little of a let down after being in Chile for so long. No more clean places and such. The first day here was spent getting comfortable and helping Mother, Ryan and Jack to get ready to go to La Paz. The next couple of days were spent recouporating from our airport shanigan.… Continue reading Back in Peru
