Alys and Jess Tour Europe

We Won't Forget U.

CZECH REPUBLIC | Wednesday, 9 Jul 2008 | Views [202]

It is a beautiful afternoon in Spain, but Jess and I are in an internet cafe. Feet have gotten itchy, and it is time to make a serious move. Being on a trip with no plan or path means that the plan and path are constantly in flux. In the internet cafe, I ... Read more >

A Day In The Life Of...

CZECH REPUBLIC | Sunday, 6 Jul 2008 | Views [151] | Comments [2]

What do Jess and Alys do all day? They aren't working, they aren't trying to accomplish anything in particular? What is it they spend their time doing? GOOD QUESTION! I will address it now: On a typical day, Jess and I wake up at an average time of ... Read more >


Barcelona, the Star Quarterback of Europe

SPAIN | Tuesday, 1 Jul 2008 | Views [256] | Comments [6]

Barcelona is like that really poplular guy in high school that everyone loves and is always taking about. He is beautiful, lively, athletic and for the most part, is pretty nice to everyone. But he knows that he´ll never really have to try too hard ... Read more >

When in Rain

SPAIN | Monday, 16 Jun 2008 | Views [192] | Comments [3]

We got sun in Ireland. Nearly two weeks of glorious, uninterrupted sunshine. ¨This is so unseasonable¨ the Irish kept telling us and yet we smiled and secretly assumed we´d brought the weather with us from California and Colorado (the two sunniest ... Read more >

PORTUGAL | Wednesday, 4 Jun 2008 | Views [262] | Comments [3]

London in a Day

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 20 May 2008 | Views [150]

We were told we couldn't do London in a day. But when you have a current exchange rate such as ours, you can't be too choosey so Alys and I decided to live it up in London for just one day. Just one. And it wasn't nearly enough but we made do. It began ... Read more >


Music, lost and found

USA | Tuesday, 20 May 2008 | Views [262] | Comments [2]

Jess and I love live music. In Seattle, we'd likely be found at The Comet Tavern, The Tractor, or even Easy Street on Queen Anne checking out a recommended band that we'd never heard of. Something we were both looking forward to on this trip was finding ... Read more >

Pints and Craic

IRELAND | Tuesday, 6 May 2008 | Views [229] | Comments [7]

I think we are falling in love. With the land and the people and the freedom. The freedom that seemed somewhat awkward at first but now  as a travel pair we are quickly easing into. It hit me today as Alys and I followed Bill, Hazel's father, through ... Read more >


Our Own Personal Irish Snug

USA | Thursday, 1 May 2008 | Views [151]

The flight wasn't bad; the food was the worst bit. Considering we paid $275 for the ticket I was expecting a 5 course meal:) But Alys and I are quickly discovering that we eat what we get because you just never know when you will get to eat again. So ... Read more >


I hadn't seen the ocean in awhile.

USA | Tuesday, 29 Apr 2008 | Views [150]

Jess and I have both answered so many questions about our trip that I think we are both just ready to start the actual journey and have something to finally say about it. The truth is, we don't really know where we are going, how we are getting there, ... Read more >
