Roundup

I am always super lazy about going through my old photos after returning from vacation. What makes that harder is when I end up going out of town again a week later. I’ve been busy with running club campout planning, I lost my voice celebrating my birthday this weekend, and for some reason I allowed myself to be talked into another year of volunteerism for the afore-mentioned running club.

For some reason I keep expecting to get more out of my hard work that a smile and a pat on the back. Oh well. It’s fun, at least.

Prague was super cool, but I was not prepared for how small the city is. There were times toward the end of our week there where CLH and I were passing the same tourists on the street we’d seen days before. But the most awesome thing about the city is the architecture. The whole place is like an outdoor museum, and it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I think Little Sister will miss it more than she realizes.

In other news, I’ve got a real job (again) and I was just given another really cool writing assignment which should keep me busy and happy. And here are three travel stories I’ve recently written for the Houston Press:

• Americana Alpaca Ranch
  Livingston Trade Days
• Brazos Bend and the George Observatory
