Getting to Athens

Now that I’ve been back from Greece for almost two weeks now, I’m sinking into my regular routine. Adjusting to being seven hours ahead in Greece proved to be no problem. On the day of the flight Ricky and I woke up at 4:30am to start hacking our circadian rythms. Combined with the adrenaline and [...]

Back in action

I took an impromptu break from The Burné this past week. It’s still been in my thoughts. Partly I’m overwhelmed with all I have to say about Greece. Partly I’ve been recovering from time adjustment. It was a lot harder adjusting getting back than it was getting there; a week later and I’m still ready [...]

Back from Greece

I’m back from Greece now! Lots to talk about in that regard coming soon. I thought I’d have time to write up a post for today but somehow time zooms by and my backlog of posts is now finished. I hope you enjoyed hearing about Philadelphia and New York. Taking today off of work though [...]

Recycling in the Burné

Not surprisingly, people are open to the idea of recycling and actually put it into practice if you make it easy enough. Case in point: the Glen Burnie Carnival. In its century-long history, 2009 marked the first year that recycling containers were dispersed alongside regular trash containers at the carnival. I didn’t make it doown [...]

Travel for less

Greece update: I’m making my way back to Baltimore today. Today’s post is about possible future trips, though!

Traveling is something that I would like to do a lot more of. This list of places that I’ve been is far too short! I’d like to add space travel to my list, but for now I’m focusing [...]

Britney Spears

Greece update: Today is my last day in Greece! I’m back in Athens for the night before flying back to Baltimore tomorrow.

The purpose of this visit to Philadelphia was to have an early birthday celebration for a friend since I will be away during her actual birthday. Britney Spears was performing and seeing her was [...]

Caffeination

Greece update: Today is my last day on Santorini. Perhaps a sunset overlooking the caldera while on the cliffs of Ia?

Their website isn’t much, but Caffeination made for a great post-museum pit-stop. It’s fairly similar to the majority of coffee shops out there; standard fare is available. Their drinks are named after local streets. I [...]

Mütter museum

Greece udpate: Today is my second day on Santorini and first full day. Maybe I’m taking a tour of the volcano on the nearby island of Nea Kameni?

After lunch in Philadelphia, we headed to the Mütter Museum. This was our original destination, hence the parking situation. The Mütter (pronounced “mooter”) is a museum unlike any [...]

Mix

Greece update: I’m leaving Mykonos today on my way to Santorini. You may have seen Santorini in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!

When I arrived in New York City, I wasn’t too hungry and opted for sushi at Yoshiono. When I arrived in Philadelphia, I was hungry. We walked around where we parked and found a [...]

Getting to Philadelphia

Greece update: Final day on Mykonos. Maybe some windmill sightings. Or am I still at Super Paradise beach??

Just a few hours after returning from New York City I was on my way to Philadelphia. For a friend’s birthday, Ricky and I got tickets to see Britney Spears. More on that later in the week. Today [...]
