Already Feeling Like a Local

January 1st, 2010 Jessiegrrl

The past few days have been pretty uneventful. The funny thing about traveling with the primary reason being to visit a friend is that more time is spent doing day to day stuff than actual sightseeing.

We both decided that that was where we’d be off to today. Kent and I headed downstairs for breakfast. The spread was quite impressive: lots of meats  Read More »
