Tonight is the night of the super full moon, where it comes the closest it has been to Earth in approximately 18 years. They say the moon is supposed to appear 14% bigger than usual but I’m not sure how you are supposed to really tell. A while back I took photos of the moon for my 101 List, but …

Early this morning my husband and I grabbed the dogs, hopped in the car and headed to Zuiderpark. The sun had just come up and we were both itching to get out and enjoy it.

This year my husband and I decided to do something different for Valentine’s Day.  Normally we don’t really do much, just hang out and make a nice dinner, to go a movie or go out for something to eat.  This year I saw that a Bollywood show was coming to the Luxor Theater in Rotterdam and I really thought it …

Early this morning Xander and I decided to take the dogs to the park for a walk.  We haven’t been to De Twee Heuvels before and it’s nearby so we went to check it out.  There isn’t a lot there, some paths and a lot of people with their dogs.  I assume it’s probably a lot nicer when the weather …

The red one, I mean.  If you do, could you kindly punch him or her in the throat the next time you meet? Whatever they did to cause all these cop cars to come tearing into our lot with sirens blazing is the reason I’m sitting here writing this at 6:40am on a Sunday morning. I didn’t see them getting …

There are two questions I get asked every single time I’m talking to someone here in the Netherlands and tell them I’m from Canada… Do you find it very different here compared to where you come from? Which do you like better?

As promised back when I shared the story about the Cheeky Pelican, I have finally finished working on the rest of my zoo photos from my recent visit to Blijdorp Zoo.  As usual, where me and my camera are involved, there are a ton of photos.  I’ll try to keep it just to my favorites, but if you want to …

Last weekend Penny and I went to Blijdorp Zoo here in Rotterdam.  I have been a few times before, but it really is one of those places you could visit again and again.  It was hotter than hell so I actually got over the whole fat arms thing and wore a tank top in public.  I was paranoid and self-conscious …

One thing I have never done that I’ve wanted to is to try sushi.  This is probably a strange desire for someone who isn’t really fond of fish, but so many people I know eat it and love it, how can I not want to try it for myself?  In the past I’ve seen it at wok restaurants or places …

The map was created with my favorite handy dandy My Tracks application for Android. Today my husband and I went on a nice long bike ride around Rotterdam.  He was finally over his throat infection, I was over my minor cold and the sun was shining again… it was time to get out there!  Initially we planned on a short …

Today I can mark another item off my 101 List!  It was a beautifully sunny day in Rotterdam today and even though my husband is quite sick with a throat infection, that still couldn’t keep him down.  Both of us were really keen to get out and do something to enjoy the nice weather so we hopped in the car …
