Mediterranean Trip Preview

Venice, Italy
 
 



Dubrovnik
Santorini

Roma


I got out of school early this year so we planned a trip to the Mediterranean before it gets too hot. Our cruise started in Venice, Italy and went to Dubrovnik, Croatia; Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey; Santorini, Greece; and Olympia (Katakolon), Greece. We also took a train to Rome. More pictures to come but I haven't even sorted through them yet.

Stillwater Getaway

Here's another post from this past summer. Maybe I'll finally be caught up with 2013 by summer 2014!  With no exciting trip planned for the summer Matt and I spent a night in Stillwater, MN at a Bed and Breakfast. We went frisbee golfing, enjoyed a dinner cruise, did a tiny bit of shopping and devoured a wonderful old-fashioned malt.










The water was extremely high, pouring past the bike path and into the park.







The sky was very dynamic the day we went on the river cruise.

Our breakfast

The tower above our room where we enjoyed our breakfast.


View #1 from the tower

View #2 from the tower. There were windows on all 4 sides of the very small room.

These stairs were incredibly tight to walk up. The breakfast tray barely fit up it. The trap door on the right could be released so you could walk on top of it without falling.

There was a bathroom with a large walk in shower but another room also had a whirlpool bath.

Our room

This was the flooring by the bath tub. I thought it was a fun texture.

Crazy story. These people were in the room the night before us.
