New Theme

I’m sitting at home tonight, idly watching Iron Chef and looking through the 7000+ digital pics Mike and I have on the computer, and thinking about blogging. I have a hard time being motivated to blog; often I think that my thoughts or experiences are either too personal for me to want to share with the general public, or that they’re not interesting enough to bother (and sometimes both). Since Mike showed me how to post pics on my blog I like doing that, but I’ve been a lazy bum about getting out there and taking more of them regularly.

So, (I like to say “so” a lot, apparently) since there are 7000+ pictures in front of me I figured I should start a new blogging theme for myself - photo resurrection, whereby I post pictures of events and places that are from the BICPP* era so that you can all share in some of the more interesting experiences, although a bit late. We’ll see how it goes! Really I just like to post pictures because it fills up a lot of space on the page and adds visual interest, and because it makes me look smarter than the probably very small percentage of people who can’t post pics.

*Before I Could Post Pictures

So (again, there it is….) here’s the first installment:

Victoria, BC. Mike and I stayed here for a few days while on our Honeymoon Across British Columbia. Nice city! Lots of coffee shops with really really good chai and adequate croissants (all you can get outside of France). Advice though - don’t go to Canada with “Just Married” written on your car, because the closer you get to the Pacific coast the happier people are that you’ve just gotten married. They will literally hang out their car windows, waving their arms, grinning, and shouting “Congratulations!!!”, all while driving at top speed down busy interstates (interprovinces? whatever). This sounds charming, and it is at first (once you get over the shock of having someone yell at you from their car and it’s not an obscenity) but it gets old after awhile, not to mention distracting. I think some of those people were more excited about our marriage than most people who actually attended the wedding had been. Anywhoo, Victoria! Nice place. Very European (Except for the overly friendly marriage lovers).
