Sydney, Birthday, and Pumpkins

Vacation in Sydney for 2 weeks. It was perfect.









Some downtown Sydney




























The Victoria Building, downtown


















King's Cross, the redlight district of Sydney, by night. SO much energy and life going on in this little section - great fun!


















Meet Trent. See Trent dance. See Trent blog at www.TrentInOz.com.
Trent is a friend from home who is traveling around Australia, filming as he goes! We were able to catch up in Sydney which is really what made the vacation.
'A place is just a place'. I am currently exploring this phrase on many different levels, one being physical location.. Sydney was just the city I happened to be in, so apologies for the lack of photographic evidence of the trip! :)


















Then back home to celebrate 24 years. Mid-twenties. Yikes! But looking forward to the rest!























And what better way to end out the month but Halloween?! And pumpkin carving!










Meet Miles. His curly-cues almost took too much effort. He was worth it.








Next: Zurich, Switzerland!

Tapas, Cathedrals, and Playas

Barcelona! I picked it up at the last moment, and my Mom was able to come along! Spain, my favorite. A few of us went out on a bike tour of the city - best way to go!

Stairs where Christopher Columbus presented his findings to Ferdinand and Isabella

























At the beach!


















Barcelona's Arc de Triomphe

After the bike tour, we went out tapa-ing. Some lomo and cheese at one place. Mushrooms, olives, shrimp at another. Delicious!
