Daily reminder to be a World Citizen

This is my new clock from Target, and I LUUURVE it. It's one of those ones where each face is labeled with a different city name--L.A., NYC, Buenos Aires, London, Berlin, etc. I set them all to the right times, and put it in my bathroom. Now as I brush my teeth or do my hair, I can look at it and think about all those different places, and what it might be like over in Tokyo when it's 4 in the morning or whatever, and be reminded that I am going to visit these places and as many others in the world as I possibly can.

Greek Guy

(I keep skipping days between posts. Oopsie. :-/)

I took this picture on our last night in Athens--I couldn't pass up that guy in that shirt. And the thing is, I could totally imagine this Greek guy living in NYC and standing in front of a t-shirt shop there. This picture is totally interchangeable!

Balancing

During our recent bus tour's time in Greece, we were taken to yet another "kickback" store (where the guide, I'm assuming, gets a kickback for dragging us out of our way to said dumb overpriced store and pretending there's something special about it). The pottery therein was overpriced and I was feeling rebellious, so I went outside and took pictures of all the stuff that had been thrown into the store's side yard, that they ostensibly didn't want us to see. There was a lot of it.

This young lady presided over things from a precarious perch.

Peach Flower

This was from a flower garden on the island of Capri. I just like the colors, the textures, the way the flower pot makes a reddish swoop through the shot. Oh, and also that I took it while on Capri. ;)

Gino the Wonder Dog!

In Lucerne, Switzerland, this dog was playing in the lake with his owner. The owner would throw this stick far out into the lake, and Gino would eagerly swim out and get it. Our group--about 45 people--was cheering him on and yelling "Good dog!", but he was utterly, happily focused--he didn't care about anything but his owner and that stick.

Haven't been posting much while I'm traveling--functional internet access is too hard to come by. I have indeed been taking like 75 pictures a day, though. :) I'll start posting regularly again when I come home.

Look!

There's an "Everything" store in Paris, too!

Internet access--and time to blog--is scarce on my European trip. I'll be back to my picture-a-day schedule as soon as I can.
