On a good day, Mt. Hood is visible, but not this day. It was still a super good day to be exploring the city and walking in the Japanese Gardens.
While having an adult beverage in the library bar in the Kennedy School with a friend, I was inspired to start a game of hangman. A few new friends joined us in contributing to the game. And at a few points the whole room went quiet with all eyes on the chalkboard while everyone tried to figure out what the phrase was. It was a real hit. Above the chalkboards: An overhead projector screen.
My roommate's dog Bella posing ever so nicely in front of the Kennedy School sign. Notice how the leash is still being held.
The light was bouncing between light and dark on the Washington Monument all day on the Mall, still a beautiful day to be strolling in the nation's capital.
A lovely day on the Mall in DC.
While touring the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, we came upon the world's oldest living potted plant (planted 1775). Considering the ease at which most people kill plants, it's startling to see in front of you the one plant that has survived the longest. This is just one of many amazing horticultural phenomena on display at Kew.
Walking down a path alone through Brompton Cemetery in London on a cold, cloudy winter day, I couldn't help but feel so grateful that I was one of the few things alive and well in this Victorian cemetery.

Who knew that you only needed to go as far as the hostel bar to have a good time in Edinburgh?
The biggest selection of Montana trucker hats one could ever want. They certainly love Eagles there. All of these hats are available at the 10,000 Silver Dollar Bar.
The interior of the 10,000 Silver Dollar Bar. Complete with silver dollars and a fake cowboy and Indian ready to be posed with at a table. The beer selection is actually quite good as well.
