on&on

It looks like our trip will now include Barcelona. Depending on feasibility, we will be taking night trains the day after we arrive in Paris, spending the first day in Paris, then two in Barcelona, three in Rome, and two more in Paris.  August is apparently an unbearably warm time to visit all three cities, especially Barcelona, but we might bear it!

 

In other news, I’ve had an incredibly inspiring few days and anticipate that the inspiration will thankfully remain for a while [due to a resurgence of consistent solitude].. One of the first things on my to-do list is to finish posting photos here!

A quick note; it is the beginning of April, and I have paid off two of three credit cards used in my November trip to Europe. I am now able to add more substantial payments to the third, which still holds a little over $2,500 from the trip. With loans and other bills, I should be able to finish payments in July.

Additionally, the trip I’m taking with my family in August has been reformed into a Paris/Rome vacation instead of Paris/London! Now we just have to figure out the best way to get there and back….

If I have enough time this weekend and am able to close some open browsers waiting for SimoneChoule updates, then I will resume daily photo postings next week.

the flickr photos below are going go to be the only photos online for a while.. i’ve uploaded many, but the code is just too much right now, especially considering that no one reads this. [my fault] looking at the fafsa recently has been bad enough, let alone an endless barrage of brackets and quotation marks! i’ve really grown fond of flickr, though, because i was able to arrange them all in collections which is indescribably satisfying. there are many more photos which i will definitely post sometime here in the future, but those were the nicest-looking. in the meantime, i’m blogging regularly here. :)

in other travel news, i booked tickets for my family & i for a 10 day trip to paris and london in august. [they were $612! ] we are flying in & out of charles de gaulle, and have yet to plan when and for how many days we will be travelling to london…

oh code code code how i loathe thee!

–back online [generally], and have been uploading photos.. photos through the 17th of november are now online, and are just waiting for code to be assembled so they can be seen. belgium and the netherlands should be up within the next two days as i am not working and am hibernating in the cold.
–i also will start actually posting on my regular blog of all things aesthetic, ae [it was my intention to do this daily after new years, we'll let my avoidance of internets conveniently step in the way of that], which should hopefully be an interesting, positive, and productive sort of place. as for lesypr, it will continue after the complete month is posted. after this point it will take a more practical turn with promised recommendations and observations, and will document further travails.
—my next trip is a week in paris and london with my family in september, for which i am currently trying to find tickets. after this, i will embark on some sort of journey, global or local, every november [if this doesn't work, a '-ber' month will do], and will be documenting accordingly….]. i’m especially interested to see if/how further travels fix logistical flaws, make the major minor and the minor major. and of course to visit and discuss lovely new places!

until i am able to organize code for the hundreds of photos from brussels, antwerp, [both of which i was unduly harsh about] amsterdam, and rotterdam, there are some photo edits on flickr which are hungry to be viewed. all manipulated images are sent here, and while they certainly remain fun vacation pictures, they should be viewed as dreamy little film stills [and should nevertheless be played at maximum volume].

here are two collections from flickr.. one for europe, and one for paris & rouen.. each has its own set of categories inside….

xx!

[[i'm on really inconsistent internet right now, [of the stolen, inconsistent, and strange-acting variety] so i won’t be able to upload anything for another two weeks, when the new internet is installed… hope anyone who might be clicking this way has a wonderful holiday!]]
