2013
The camera is back up and running, and the two of us are on the go. Similar to last year I am working/traveling in France and Andrew will be working/traveling around the US. With current June/July plans that include weekends in Amagansett for Andrew and Jard-sur-mer for me it is shaping up to pretty pretty nice. With another CA/Vegas/MO trip lined up for Andrew in August there will surely be plenty to post from both the US and European side of things. So, stay tuned.

In Amsterdam, we stayed with our friend JP and his family. Their bathroom possesses not only one of the oddest toilets in Western civilization but also this awesome toilet paper holder.

The view from Iztuzu Beach - aka turtle beach because of the massive sea turtle rehab center on the beach - in Dalyan Turkey. We came to Dalyan for two days and we ended up staying for eight. How many times can you stand on the beach of a sea and be surrounded by mountains? Not many, hence the logic of our extended stay. Our campground was also situated across the river from Lycian tombs carved into the side of a cliff around 400 BC (picture coming).
Interior of the Reykjavik Opera House, Harpa. It has an incredible honeycomb appearance with with beautifully colored glass completely encasing the building.

Small outbuilding near the Grótte lighthouse on a peninsula to the west of Reykjavik.
Reykjavik, Iceland was a small city with a great community feeling- most of the buildings are small and colorful like this row in the center of town. I’ve noticed that coastal fishing towns, regardless of their size, tend to have simpler architecture than other locations, but they make up for it with vibrant color palettes that far outpace the relatively conservative stable of paints we tend to favor in the US.
