The Trinity Killer. Oh my goodness, this is getting sooo GOOD.

I missed a photo yesterday because I simply had no time to even go on the computer.

So, it looks like it’s not making too much sense to do Greece with Portugal and Spain, so we’re now planning on doing the Czech Republic instead of Greece and then Portugal and Spain. We’ll see how that goes. Our plans seem to be changing by the day.

But who cares about my great day, when on the other side of the world, people’s lives are getting destroyed by an earthquake, while I’m having a great day. It seems a little wrong. I have nothing intelligent to say about it, so I won’t say anything more. It makes a nice water cooler topic, an ice breaker conversation, an awkward silence filler, a Facebook status, a Twitter tweet, a blog post; we can go on and on about how horrible it is, how awful we feel about it, and how much our hearts go out to the victims, but really, none of it means anything to anyone in the heart of the catastrophe. Maybe I’ll donate something somewhere here.

Well, not really. I just tried to add some practicality like a “View All Photos” link at the bottom right of each post that takes you to a page on my Flickr album that shows the entire collection of A PHOTO A DAY photos all in one page. No big.

We met with our travel agent today to plan our summer eurotrip. A proposal is on its way. :)

What’s on the radar? Madrid, Barcelona, French Riviera, Swiss Alps, Florence, Rome, Athens. This summer will be my third time in the Swiss Alps and second time in Florence and Rome. I am dangerously in love with Switzerland and Italy, so it’s a done deal.

After this round of eurotripping, I think I’m done with Europe. Next summer is a different continent.

I thought I’d post a mood-booster, considering the slushy nightmare outside. There is hope, my friends. Summer is up and coming. It’ll be velvet blue skies and feathered green grass before you know it.

I got my old school windmill fix last summer in Amsterdam, Netherlands. There is no better place for windmills. The other fix that I need is my lighthouse fix. I don’t remember where I heard this and I could’ve heard completely wrong, but New Jersey is the place to go for lighthouses? Should that be a road trip destination this summer? Or I bet the east coast over in Halifax has plenty, too. That’s a much longer drive though. But I will go any distance to get a photograph that I need.

Suddenly, I have a raging desire for a loft. A house can come after. Check this out. And this. And this. And this. I like the ones that are a little grungy with industrial brick walls. Sooo beautiful and I’m sooo in lust. Savings detour. You know what tipped me over? Lila’s loft from Dexter. Worst case scenario, if it makes more sense to go right into a house, we can just work with a Bungalow (for the single floor space), then build brick walls into the interior, what say you? Or win the lottery and buy both a loft and a house. I think I like that one better.
