Shutters, Courtyards and Stone Walls in Malta
by Krista | Aug 16, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
It's always a bit scary reserving rooms in a country you've never visited, a house you've never seen. But I needn't have worried when I booked rooms at the Knights in Malta Bed and Breakfast in Naxxar, Malta. Our host - a kind British man named John - picked us up at...
Colorful Prague and Hearty Czech Food
by Krista | Aug 15, 2011 | Bootstrap Monday
My last trip to Europe consisted of grey skies and even greyer cities, so I was unprepared for the colorful display Prague had in store for me when I arrived last week. It seemed that around every corner I found vivid vignettes of beauty that took me by surprise. The...
Exploring the Streets of Prague
by Krista | Aug 12, 2011 | Fabulous Friday
Few things make me happier than wandering a city with no destination in mind. Prague is the perfect place for such aimless meanderings because it doesn't matter what street you follow or what corner you turn, there is always something to delight and intrigue. I love...
Exploring a Prague Open-Air Market
by Krista | Aug 11, 2011 | Plucky Thursday
The sun is shining in Prague and it is beautiful!! I've been having such a lovely time with my friends - strolling amiably along cobbled streets, visiting for hours in cozy coffee shops, staying up late talking over glasses of Czech wine. It's been marvelous....
Cozy Nights on the Terrace and a Trip to Prague
by Krista | Aug 9, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
I have come to love chilly evenings in Amsterdam. For I know that when my bro and sis-in-law get home from work we will get cozy in our pjs, bring coffees, wine, and nibbles up to the terrace, and snuggle under blankets on the comfy couches set around the outdoor...
Holland: Canal-boating on a Sunshiny Day
by Krista | Aug 8, 2011 | Bootstrap Monday
Good morning, luvs! How was your weekend? We were ecstatic to see glorious sunshine on Sunday afternoon and made the most of it by renting a 12-person boat to float down the canals outside Amsterdam with dear friends. It was heavenly. My brother did a splendid job as...
Sunshine and Sandwiches by the Canal (and a new haircut!)
by Krista | Aug 5, 2011 | Fabulous Friday
It is never a good thing when the hairdresser takes a look at your hair and says, "It's a pity." 🙂 Alas, such was the case with the flamboyant fellow who examined my tresses today. Thankfully he had a few tricks up his sleeves after years of working on the hair of...
Amsterdam: Good Coffee and Great Views
by Krista | Aug 4, 2011 | Plucky Thursday
We set out to run errands in Amsterdam the other day, heading towards a fantastic place I can't wait to share with you. Before we set off, my sis-in-law popped into her favorite spot for coffee - de koffie salon - to pick up drinks and delectables like cookies filled...
An Afternoon on a Sun-drenched Terrace
by Krista | Aug 1, 2011 | Bootstrap Monday
It's gloriously sunny in Amsterdam today, and I wish you were here with me to sit on my brother's terrace, linger over lunch, and have a good ol' visit. 🙂 After we eat we could snooze in the sun and watch the clouds drift by. Or watch the boats motoring along...
