We happened to be in Boston for the fourth of July, this was Avi's first time seeing fourth of July fireworks, and we were excited. We met up with Pablo's cousin this day and they were talking about how the fireworks were going to be really cool (and gave us recommendations of where to sit). They took us to the river where the firework display would be, and although it was still early, it was packed. They told us of a good spot to be, but we decided to go eat dinner before settling there. We ended up eating yummy burritos at Boloco. I came prepared, I took my camera and tripod in the evening and set everything up. I managed to take 14 pictures of the fireworks with my camera. my  pictures were taken with a Canon 30D + 50mm, 8s at ƒ/11.0  ISO 100.  While not all of them came out good, I decided to post all of them on here, just to give you an idea of what you get with these settings. You can tell by looking at the pictures that it's best at the beginning, be...

Munichis one of the most visited cities in Germany, and with reason! It's on a lot of people's bucket lists, and had been on mine since we first moved to Germany, Neuschwanstein castle too. When my cousin came this summer with a couple of extra days for a trip to wherever we chose, I insisted we go to there. Even though I was the one who proposed it I was also dumb enough to not book it months in advance, #my bad.  Getting there was going to be a tough choice, I did not know what would be best. I searched every option, car-sharing, bus, plane and train.    I found out that bus was the cheapest option (at 27 euros per person), but I didn't book it. I was still debating it, since we still didn't have a place to stay. All the hotels/hostels that I had found were at at least 400 euros for 3 nights. The next day I was about to book the bus tickets when I found another option where the four of us would pay under 50 euros, and I booked it.  I loved w...

I've been enjoying these past few weeks spending time with the family, but our vacation is almost up!  We return to Germany on Tuesday, and I plan on doing some traveling once we're back home. Some of the cities I'd like to visit are: Mannheim , Heidelberg and Frankfurt. But then again, there's also cities such as   London, Paris, and Rome, popular ones that everyone dreams of visiting when in Europe. Lucky for us we were just there last year, during our 15 days in Europe. My Top 5 Destinations to revisit Just because I've already been to a certain place doesn't mean I never want to step foot there again, quite the contrary actually! I was tagged by Katrina to choose  5 places I'd like to revisit. Read on to find out where I'd like to go again! London, England I want to go back to London because we didn't get to visit WB’s Harry Potter studios. I mean, yeah, you can never get enough of the beautiful city and there...

There are currently a shit load of things I need to do, including, but not limited to:  - Start packing and throwing things away, I have exactly one month to have everything ready for our move. - Edit all the pictures from our two weeks in the hospital, Avi took her camera and even though a lot of them are blurry, I need to fix the ones that aren't so I can share them with our family. and... - keep posting on the blog. So for today I decided I would join in on Travel Tuesday and write about our Paris walking tour, I haven't blogged about our trip around Europe in a while, i'm almost finished, but I figured I'd get back on the saddle with this post.  Paris was a city on our list of cities to visit in Europe and i'm glad we did. I love the walking tours because they take you to major landmarks but make little stops around the way. The Paris tour was really different to all the other ones we've taken, instead of taking you to see the eiffel tower the...

Hello & Happy Sunday to you!! We are more than half way done with July, only eleven days left, how was it been treating you? Lol, I'm in a good mood today & I will continue writing about our recent trip to London! I feel that even though the Harry Potter tour was better, I will post this one first since it happened first.  The New London tour lasted a little close to 3 hours and started at Covent garden. Our group was awesome, but I don't know if it was because our guide, Steph, made us introduce ourselves to someone on the tour we didn't know (we were all talking with each other instead of the usual mind your own and walk) or because everyone was around my age (haha, not really, a little younger) but still it felt nice. Godzillaa!!!!
