Finally, Our Summer Video

While on the road we tried to take as many videos as we could, so that we could make a small movie to remember our trip. In the end we didn't take as many as we would have liked to, but it was enough to make this short clip!

Here is our first movie!



(Forgive the quality in some parts. Many of the videos were taken from our phones)

Something to Make You Giggle

I love this version of this song, and it is not a happy one, but this video...

Update: School's Out / Brain's Off

My first semester of grad-school ended about two weeks ago and I haven't posted anything here. After three months of intense work, I suddenly have no responsibilities, and I feel as if I was floating around. Even though I want to take advantage of the break, and do as much as I can around The Bay Area it seems as though planning things is too much for my mind at the time. So I have no trips or pictures worthy of posting about. But since I don't want to abandon the blog, here is a bit of what I have been doing (From My Instagram feed)


1. I've been eating and eating and eating. But most importantly, I ate this beautiful princess cake at IKEA



2. Penguins have been on my feet constantly. 


3. We bought and decorated a miniature christmas tree. This is our first real tree (in our life).



4. I've been trying to get better at running. I was very very proud of myself when I reached 10 miles in one week, that is until I called my sister to tell her about it and she informed me that she started running a month ago and has been running 35 miles a week. 



5. This actually what has been taking 90% of my time. I decided to try knitting after I found the free Hemingway Hat Pattern from Wool and The Gang. I want to knit more of their things, but I can't afford their kits/yarn/patterns, so I decided to make this hat over and over again for everyone I know (currently working on #5)


6. (Forgive my full cheeked/can't control herself happy face) Today was Lilo's last day off work until christmas, so we took a trip to Napa (It blows my mind that it is only one hour away). There I found a small Venezuelan food joint! (It's called Pica Pica Maize Kitchen) and although I heard that the one in San Francisco is terrible, this one was not bad at all. 


Now I'm back to knitting. I will try to keep on posting about life for my imaginary readers and for myself. But for now, happy almost christmas!
