Congratulations Stephanie and Andreas, We are so happy for you and glad the weather was perfect. The photos are amazing. You make a lovely couple. Love the socks and the get away car!
anonymously congratulated! ...see, I was so quick fire with my comment I failed to login! Having now read the blog I was thinking it would be interesting to trace the origins of the many different traditions that together make the 'American Wedding'.
Congratulations! Wonderful, wonderful news! I just saw this as my workday threatens to begin in 3 minutes, so haven't had time to read the text yet, but wanted to fire-off a comment of congratulations immediately!
Thanks so much mysterious stranger who, assuming a work day beginning between 7 - 9am, is presently located somewhere amongst China, SE Asia and E. Australia ;) That ... actually doesn't narrow it down all that much. Do let us know who you are upon your return for the text!
Comparing Sisters If one of these lovely ladies had spent her entire life sleeping under a sunbed I doubt we'd see much pigmentation variation, so climate is out. As for the attire, anyone can put on a dress, I know I like to dabble, and I've never set foot in New York. However, the real clue is in the keys held by the sister on the left - what kind of lunatic would own a car in Manhattan?
What a great trip. I'm glad you blogged about this as I really enjoyed it. I've only been to San Diego once and did make it to lunch at the Hotel Coronado but would love to go back. Dave has never been to San Diego. I love the photo of you with your sister. What a special time. As always your photography dazzles....love the hummingbird and the glasses at night. Excellent!
I used to take business trips to San Diego... and always had the same routine after work...Cabrillo National Monument looking out over the Bay and Pacific, Hotel del Coronado, Old Town, La Jolla, etc. but never made it to the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park. I always enjoyed visiting, but as with you, wouldn't want to live there.
So there IS a zoo in Balboa Park afterall! Didn't know that. I can see how it would be a very nice location for business trips. Good weather, good food. We'll have to make note of Cabrillo NM for next time.
Oh, they're from California.... I admit, I've rolled my eyes a time or two when I've heard the above.
Great blog! Entertaining prose and the pictures are wonderful! Oh, and you and your sister are just beautiful! (Yes, I could tell which one was from California...)
I have no idea how to get the plant to fruit as these were some we found growing wild, but it tastes like a slightly fruity cucumber (maybe a watermelon/cucumber hybrid). It's unique, but very refreshing.
One of your pictures of BC popped up on the front page so I went back and read your blogs and they are all very enjoyable! Lovely picture of you both too! Are you travelling this year?
No, not traveling much this year. But we just got married, so hopefully there will be some travels in our near future as we're planning a delayed, then extended, honeymoon for early 2013.
We initially joined Travelblog to chronicle our summer-long trip in '07, and have since continued to blog about our domestic adventures. Still keeping our eye on the prize, though, and trying to save for our round-the-world adventure.
