Perhaps an unnecessary apology

I've been wondering if anyone out there misses my blog posts. Do I need to apologize for my laziness? Well, not so much laziness as a matter of preoccupation. Take one part summer time and one part exchange ending and you've got a Hannah who wants to spend more time with her friends than on the internet. 

There are eight days left, and then I travel for four weeks. Things should pick up around here soon. So, I apologize to any of you who are reading this and wishing it was a photo post instead.

narbonne food market pt. 2

The past four days I've been galavanting in the sunshine and ignoring the internet. There wasn't a "selfie sunday" for just that reason, but I don't feel guilty. Our skies have been blue and our smiles have been persistent. Summer arrived before school ended - ooops. 

Here are some images from Narbonne's food market that I took back in May. A link to another batch sits at the end of the post. 


 The awkward moment when a photograph looks posed but isn't. 



I don't think many of you have seen the first batch of these images, so you should check 'em out here

where was i wednesday?

Oh, hey. How's it going? Did you know - it's June. HOW DID IT GET TO BE JUNE!? I'm trying to remain calm, cool and collected, but really, I'm a bit overwhelmed that five months of the year already disappeared. Poof. Just like that. The housemates and I are tip-toeing around our approaching departures, doing our best not to discuss it. Siiiiigh. 

Last week, I shared some images from Venice. Here are some pictures from my latest adventure. You probably already know I went to Istanbul (and if you want to read about that, here's a post I wrote for the Beacon.) Can any of you guess exactly where in the city these images depict? 












Slowly but surely planning my month of July - four weeks of adventure.

selfie sunday

Istanbul, Turkey


This week, a delightful seven days of adventure, laughs and surprises, put smiles on my face constantly. This post comes to you from Turkey, and here's my list of things for which I thanked the universe. 

1. Meandering adventures, surprise adventures, delayed and exasperated adventures. 
2. Days of rest. 
3. Unexpected complimentary proclamations. 
4. Like-minded companions searching for foreign foods. 
5. Conversations that open eyes (and maybe change minds.)

I made a new June playlist thanks to Spotify's suggestions, and I'm really digging it. Also, I'm blogging from my phone and the mobile versions of websites have stumped me. Maybe next week I'll share two songs, but in the mean time, find my June Spotify playlist and hit shuffle.
