Bisbee, Arizona is an old mining town, though now it’s more of an artist colony. Galleries, coffee shops, brew pubs, and funky little stores line the streets, while renovated miner shacks crawl up the hill from downtown. (Which is tiny – you can cover...

I haven’t written about the weekend in Guam that I tacked on to my big 2011 trip to Hawaii. Remember, the one where I thought I was going to die in a tsunami? Good times. I’ll have more to say about that at some point. Not only had I just had a near miss...

We’re deep in winter and the holiday high is wearing off, so I’m posting this photo of gnome graffiti (taken on the Lower East Side, NYC) in the hopes it’ll ease your January blues. You’re welcome. ...

I’m interrupting the Ireland Series to talk about last weekend’s Colorado Scampabout, which is a more traditional Scampabout since Sadie actually got to go. Plus, I have a new favorite National Park, replacing last year’s spectacular Chiricahua National Park, and I...

Let’s get the giggling out of the way right now, shall we? Say it with me: Dingle, Dingle, Dingle. Feel better? One more, just in case. I’ll wait. Okay. It’s a relief you can’t hear me giggle every time I type it, because then there’d be no denying my inner...

This will be a short post, but next time I’ll wrap up the Ireland trip with a meaty post and lots of pictures, centered on a place whose name still makes me giggle. Because I’m 12. Today I wanted to share a few photos of two very old buildings, since I have no...

Galway is a smallish city (about 80,000 people) on the western coast of Ireland. Mom and I drove there from Dublin, and since we’d had a couple days driving on the left and deciphering Irish directions, we were feeling pretty cocky about getting around. Ha! Silly us....

I know I said I’d talk about Galway next, but I was looking at photos and decided to post a few of the monastery at Clonmacnoise instead. (I think it’s pronounced “klon-muh-noish” but don’t quote me.) I’m not a religious person in any way, but old churches,...

We flew in and out of Dublin, so we spent one night at each end of our trip at the Hilton Dublin Airport Hotel. I’m not a big fan of giant chains, but I have to say, Paris Hilton’s family got it right. We had a beautiful room and excellent service for not a ton of...
