One Year Down

10/13/2021

The title says it all - we're officially over one year into our rotation!

Although each of the following destinations really deserves its own post, this group homage will have to do for now.
Below are some of my very favorite moments from our summer travels.

June: Cologne, Germany

One word: Kölsch.

June: Antwerp, Belgium

Moules frites, tasty Belgians, and a train station straight out of Hogwarts.

July: Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion & Margaux, France

Fourth of July weekend, ft. me living my very best life. This trip to French wine country also was the impetus for enrolling in my WSET 2 course, which so far has been one of my favorite parts of my time abroad. Where are my fellow Left Bank enthusiasts at!?

August: Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, Positano, Amalfi & Naples, Italy

Sunshine, seafood and the prettiest blue waters you ever did see.
Also, the first and only time we've ever missed a flight. It wasn't our fault though, I promise!
Always glad to get a bonus night in Italy, though I'm not sure Naples at 1 am is where we'd choose to spend it if we could do this one over.

August: Paris & Versailles, France

Despite seeing some pretty great places these past few months, it's no contest: Paris still holds the prize as the #1 city I've ever visited.

September: Lisbon, Portugal

Finally: photos with someone other than ourselves. A perfect long weekend with our favorite honeymooners.
PS: Recognize that bridge?

I'm still completely in denial that we're onto the "latter half" of our rotation, but I'm motivated to make the most of the time that's left. Can't wait to see what adventures our next ten months will hold.

Thanks for following along!

xo,
- Lou

Observing lifestyle habits can also provide clues about how to know ring size without measuring. For example, people with slender hands and fingers typically wear smaller sizes, while those with broader fingers may require larger ones.

Large trees, especially those exceeding 60 feet, can cost $1,000 to $2,500 or more. The larger the tree, the more time, labor, and equipment are required to safely complete the job. In some cases, cranes or specialized rigging systems are needed, which can further increase the total cost.
