Nina's Exhilarating Life

Well, Tom brought up the pig flu from his travels around teh US and Canada. Yes, Canada. He can get back in the country which means he got to see his kids. I heard it was a fun trip which included hockey, haircuts, family guy jokes and swine flu vaccines for the boys. I am [...]

Tom and I went to the ‘ocean’ to see the tide pools at Salt Creek. It was fun! I also had a new lens, a 70-300mm which I got to use a little. It is going to take some reading up to get use to it. A lot of the light [...]

Yesterday while I was chilling on the Spanish steps, I saw someone with a Seahawk’s Jersey. It was enough to get off my butt and go speak with him. I asked if he was from Seattle but no, of course not. He’s from Scotland! Full accent and all. He downloads [...]

I decided that I should at least visit the Vatican while I am here so I booked a tour tomorrow. I don’t have the energy to figure it out myself. I just need to show up at some Bar. Sounds good to me! Anyway, today I went “shopping” since most of [...]
