I spent a long weekend in Cleveland at my youngest cousin’s graduation party/family reunion. I couldn’t afford plane tickets so my parents graciously offered to drive B. and I. It went pretty well despite 24 hours in the minivan. It was really nice to see my family and introduce B. and I had plenty of time to talk with my parents. I only wish that ( Read more... )

I had a fantastic weekend in Provincetown! We stayed at the beautiful and quirky Land's End Inn in the Tiger Lily room. It was so nice to have wine, cheese, and fruit in the early evening at the inn.

We also had an anticlimatic initial attempt to pick him up at the airport, but it all worked out ( Read more... )

Gah I am stressed about this :( I'm getting a little homesick despite having some nice days here. A couple days ago Slavica and I went to Bundek, a park in town. The next day I wandered around by myself (which was really nice). I sat in a park, read a book in a cafe, went to the 19th-20th c. art museum, and met up with a friend (Zeljko).
