The Burné

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Greece update: Today I’m still on Mykonos. Probably at the beach!

After lunch at Yoshiono we high-tailed it to the Booth Theatre to see the matinee showing of Next to Normal, one of Ricky’s new favorites. The outside looked like any other building for the most part, only decked out in Next to Normal posters and [...]

Greece update: Today I’m leaving Athens and arriving on the island of Mykonos by ferry. Hello beaches!

After arriving in New York City on the corner of 33rd and 7th streets, we were hungry. For $16 you can’t really expect peanuts or pretzels during the drive up. Not that I’d want to see the driver walking [...]
