    Dresden

    ByLane April 8, 2019January 9, 2022

    Monday, April 8, 4:00 pm Today is my last day in Dresden. I’m taking an afternoon break after a short (very short) day trip to Görlitz, a town on the Polish border I’d heard was worth visiting. I found that not to be the case. I was also told when I asked some folks for input on…

    A day in Leipzig, a night at the Semperoper

    ByLane April 7, 2019January 9, 2022

    Okay, so I’ve been in Dresden since Thursday and haven’t written anything about it yet (except for my new shoes I bought here). But I will. Yesterday I went to Leipzig, so since that’s over and done, I’ll write about that first. Pilgrimage It was a spectacular day. In fact, every day of this trip so far…

    Prague Wrap-up

    ByLane April 5, 2019January 9, 2022

    I’m in Dresden now. I’m just bad at keeping up with the blog. Either I’m on the go, too tired, or busy planning what to do next. So I’ll give a few highlights from my last two days in Prague. I’m gonna blow through it quickly and touch on the things that I really don’t want…

    Sleep Deprivation Prague-style

    ByLane April 2, 2019January 9, 2022

    Monday, April 1, 10:00 pm It is difficult to believe I’ve only been here in Prague for a day and a half. That’s partly because I have been on the go so much and seen and done so many things already. It’s also , though, because I have hardly slept, so it’s been one-and-a-half very long days.…

    ByLane March 27, 2019July 13, 2021

    After four days in Stockholm, it’s time to head to Tallinn on an overnight ferry. I load my travel backpack and walk to the metro station to head to the ferry terminal.

    ByLane February 22, 2019January 9, 2022

    Impressions of Ajijic

    ByLane January 23, 2019January 9, 2022

    I’m conflicted I have been struggling to come up with words that will accurately reflect the various conflicted feelings I am having. When I think of uprooting myself from my life in Seattle and the USA and moving to a foreign country where I don’t know anyone and don’t speak the language (yet), my brain…

    A story about Mexico that’s also about me

    ByLane January 22, 2019July 15, 2021

    I have been thinking a lot about the situation here in Mexico that has led to long lines for gas and an explosion killing 90-some people in the state of Hidalgo.

    ByLane January 22, 2019January 10, 2022

    Flying to GDL I was very happy to discover that Volaris flies nonstop from SeaTac to Guadalajara’s Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport. But next time I come down here, I might just decide it’s worth making a connection.

    Off to Mexico Again

    ByLane January 18, 2019January 9, 2022

    My last trip to Mexico was just over a year ago. Now I’m going back, to a different place and for a different reason. I’m currently at SeaTac waiting for my flight to Guadalajara, and I’ll be spending six nights in Ajijic. I first read about Ajijic a few months ago when I started researching…
