Photos
Spectacular photos, Julie. Really enjoying travelling along with you but not sorry to be missing the heat.

It’s certainly been hot..!! But I’ve missed the worst of it - mainland seems to be bearing the brunt of it. Hoping by the time I finish in Athens it’ll be a little less overwhelming.

Nice to read about your travels again
Hu Julie, So glad you got to get back to your travels this summer. I really enjoyed reading about Norway and seeing all your wonderful photos. Your pics of the fjords reminded me of our time (2011) in Milford Sound, NZ, which was misnamed and is actually a fjord. Colours were very similar too.

Happy Birthday!
Hi Julie, What a great way to spend your birthday. I hope you have spectacular day and a great year ahead. Justin reaches that milestone himself in October.

Stalagmites and their reflections

This photo reminds me
Hi Julie, This photo in particular is reminiscent of one I took this winter in Luray Caverns in Luray, Virginia. The colours and textures and endless variety in formations are amazing, as are the reflections that you wouldn't even know were there unless pointed out. Sounds like you are having another great trip, which we always enjoy reading about.

Stalagmites and their reflections

Hi Joan, Hm I'll have to check those caverns out if I'm ever down that way - I love exploring caves. Hope you're having a nice summer!

Happy New Year, Julie. Entertaining and informative as usual. Glad you had a good trip. See you in March.

Jays Tickets
Hey Julie, Just wondering how long ago you had to get your tickets for the stretch in Oakland and then the Seattle games (which sounded so fun). Hope they continue on their roll this week - especially Friday when we are there
7th August 2018

I bought the tickets quite awhile ago (I want to say March or April..?), but I def could have waited - especially for Oakland, there were tons of seats. Seattle games weren't sold out either, but even back then when I looked at seats the sections near the Jays dugout were virtually all gone. I hope they play well back home for you guys too!

Poor Ol' Jays
Hi Julie, Been following your blog since part 1 of your summer and ran into your mom on Saturday so we had a good chat. Hope you get to see 2-5. We are going to the game next Friday with Matt and Justin. None of our shirts/jerseys are playing or with the Jays any longer. Oh well. I hope my man - Pillar - is back soon. Justin's road trip this year (besides Cleveland) is to Miami on the Labour Day week-end. Have fun in Seattle with all those fans.

Hi Joan! Well, we got a win last night - I'll take it! haha. It was sad seeing the jerseys at the game yesterday - I think I saw one "Smoak" and every other jersey was someone injured or gone. It was an amazing atmosphere though. I think they were saying Pillar might get back in during this series - fingers crossed. That sounds like a good time for Justin - hope he enjoys that and that you guys all enjoy the game next week!

Wow
Wonderful photos, Julie. I've just added Iceland to my bucket list. Can I take your geography class?
4th January 2018

It's definitely a must-see place, even if it's starting to get a little crazy with the number of tourists. I'd suggest not the middle of winter for a first visit lol, there are more options of things to see and do... but any time of year is amazing. Iceland is definitely in my Top 3 countries. I miss teaching geography - I haven't taught it since my practice year!

He spoke English
After all that, he spoke English? OMG that's so funny - never a dull moment. The door knocker looks like a grumpy Loki face!

Happy Birthday
Hi Julie, Happy belated birthday. Your birthday treat looked deeelicious. I'm assuming 28? Justin wil be 28 on October 5. We'll see him in a couple of weeks when we go to the Big Smoke for a Jays game.
29th July 2017

Thanks Joan! Yep, 28. Enjoy the Jays game! Hopefully they don't lay an egg when you guys go.

Kofola or Covfefe
I wonder if "Covfefe" is the Americanized version of the word "Kofola"? Points to ponder...
24th July 2017

I def thought about Covfefe too haha

Feel better soon
I hope you are feeling better soon, Julie. it's no fun, and so frustrating, when you are sick when travelling.

Doesn't it look like a cute little face??

Pikachu?
For some reason, that's the first thing that came to mind. Justin was very big into Pikachu; last year was it?

Haha, you're right! That works too! Good old Pikachu
