My family and I begin this year in England.

Yes, we made it! It still seems so surreal. We are sitting in temporary housing with a barrowed car, bubbling excitement and deep concern about driving on the "wrong" side of the road. However, I've decided I am going to skip the last bit and drive when I'm good a ready. The hubster says he is happy to be my chauffeur for now (actually he wants to me get a license but I've decided I'm not right now).

Starting out in a new place and new year - I've put together a set of goals that is a cross between resolutions and bucket list. On that list: exploration, personal photo project, & blogging. I'm not usually very efficient but, in this case, I'm combining those 3 goals. This blogging will become a diary, of sorts, as I photograph my way around Europe these next few years.

I hope to find those hole-in-the-wall eateries.

I hope to capture those in-the-moments.

I hope I don't act too foreign or locally uneducated. (I'm sure this will spark lots of anecdotes these few years.)

Disclaimer: I am not a writer. At all. I can spell pretty well, hate grammatical errors and can pump out somewhere around 100 wpm. I love photos because it can show what my words cannot describe, so, these will be heavily illustrated posts from here.
