“Now so much I know that things just don’t grow if you don’t bless them with your patience.” -First Aid Kit, Emmylou My fondness for La Ceiba and northern Honduras was not love at first site. It’s not that we didn’t like where we were when we arrived; it was fine. It just didn’t speak … Read more

Lago de Atitlán Slideshow
June 7th, 2013 | Posted by Brianna in Guatemala | Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been - (4 Comments)In many ways, the experience of Atitlán is beyond words. Never have I been so moved (or so stilled) by a lake, and I certainly can’t even begin to think of a time when for 31 days in a row I awoke to a more breathtaking site than the volcanoes, clouds, and pristine mirror of … Read more →
San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas Wrap Up and Slideshow
May 10th, 2013 | Posted by Brianna in Mexico | Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been - (3 Comments)Our fourth and final month in Mexico, photos of which are included in the slideshow below, demonstrated the breadth and variety of both landscapes and cultures within the country. Since December, we had traveled through deserts and along beaches, over mountains and into jungles. We saw abundant street food become meaty street food and then … Read more →
Palenque
April 25th, 2013 | Posted by Brianna in Mexico | Parks | Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been - (4 Comments)When deciding where to spend the month of April, we were drawn in the direction of San Cristobal de las Casas in part by the proximity of Palenque. Palenque is both a modern town of just over 37,000 inhabitants about 135 miles northeast of SCLC and also the ruins of an ancient city some 5.5 miles … Read more →
San Sebastian Etla, Oaxaca Slideshow
April 8th, 2013 | Posted by Ian and Brianna in Mexico | Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been - (1 Comments)After a very active February, our pace of life slowed a bit in March. Though, as usual, our list of places to see and things to do started out fairly lengthy, we felt ourselves yield a bit to the friendly and laid-back vibe that permeates San Sebastian Etla, our home for the month. As such, we … Read more →
Guanajuato Slideshow
March 8th, 2013 | Posted by Brianna in Mexico | Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been - (2 Comments)Guanajuato was a magical place, enchanting, wonderful, and easily one of our favorites of the last six months. The limited number of drive-able streets created an active lifestyle as we walked through neighborhoods and into the centro via romantic callejons. No matter where we went it seemed as though we were always amidst a party. The plazas … Read more →
San Juanico Photos
February 6th, 2013 | Posted by Brianna in Mexico | Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been - (2 Comments)San Juanico was a beautiful place to retreat, to center, to relax. We were wooed by miles and miles of wide, empty beaches and the forced disconnection of powerless afternoons. Below is a slideshow of our favorite photos from the month.
San Fran Slideshow

Today, some pictures to go along – our favorites from an all too short tour of a colorfully energetic city.
The Oregon Coast
November 14th, 2012 | Posted by Brianna in Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been | United States - (4 Comments)Of all of the places in our sights when we began the painfully short North American portion of our adventure, we ignorantly viewed the Oregon Coast as one of the more expendable stops. It sounded great and all, but we didn’t really have a specific place in mind and time was a hot commodity. Interestingly, … Read more →
Vancouver Wrap Up and Best of Photos
November 5th, 2012 | Posted by Ian in Canada | Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been - (0 Comments)Vancouver is a world class city, and is perennially ranked among the world’s “most liveable” cities by various publications and organizations (though it should be noted that it is also rated as a very expensive city). Once one has seen the city’s distinctive glass skyline, it is hard to forget. It is large enough to … Read more →
