If you look for it, you can see the gothic spire towering above the government buildings it's surrounded by. If you actually know about it and decide to go in, your first … Continue reading sainte chapelle
There's no treat in Paris as unique, elegant, and ubiquitous as the macaron. You can find hundreds of specimens in practically every corner patisserie. The edges may not be perfectly smooth, but you can find the dessert with the classic fillings - chocolate, coffee, vanilla, raspberry, pistachio - anywhere.

I mentioned in another review that I have been wanting to study composition and dig deeper into photography for a long time, but had yet to find the right tool. When I finished Capture the Moment and saw that this book was still available on Blogging for Books, I was excited to order it! All … Continue reading Nature Photography Guide
I wanted to put up this post last week, but I never got the energy to finish it. Things have been busy around here, to say the least! Such is life as a missionary staff member... LOTS to do, and lots of travel, and it's all "normal"! Yesterday was my last day in the office, … Continue reading Puerto Rico Part III: Old San Juan
I saved up my money and went on a trip, to one of my favorite places in the world, no less - the Caribbean. Puerto Rico to be specific.
