Someone recommended The Lobster Place near the High Line when we solicited your help in planning our NYC trip. After doing a pathetic job trying to find that restaurant, we just ended up taking a lon...
we met this guy when we were walking on the high line. he makes and sells portraits of sock puppets. i think theyre adorable.
We bought this Fuji Instax camera well over 2 years ago and are still on the first pack of film. For shame! The last time we took photos with it was also in New York on the Brooklyn Bridge. Its a fun...
thanks so much to everyone who recommended the high line! we were extremely lucky to get a bright "summery" day in mid-march; it was a neat place to spend the afternoon. We saw this guy with ...

I lamented about not seeing the Xylopholks around town during our previous times in NYC. So, I was pretty surprised that, on our first day in the city, we randomly happened to catch a "performanc...
I love New York and was so happy to be back. Even though we were a bit groggy after the long train ride, we were eager to go out immediately. We arrived in the evening and made our way to Whiplash at...
Despite my best efforts, Im a procrastinator and I leave packing until the last minute. I ended up adding items to my suitcase late into the night. This, coupled with the fact that I essentially have...

Kazu is a popular Japanese izakaya-style restaurant, in downtown Montreal, that weve been wanting to try for awhile. We visited it on, what felt like, the coldest day of the (otherwise mild) winter a...
I tried shabu shabu for the first time shortly after we returned from our trip to Morocco. I wasnt really into it, but Alex loved it. Highlight of the evening: candied ginger ice cream - so goo...
Ricks Cafe, in Casablanca, is a recreation of the piano bar/restaurant in the famous movie named after the city. I anticipated a tourist trap, thinking it was one of those places I had to cross off t...

The sights and scenes on the way back to Casablanca were so interesting. A man selling chickens on the side of the road, sheep herders, kids hitchhiking home from school - its neat to see how p...
How adorable are these Gap Kids ads? I snapped these photos in a huge new mall in Casablanca that had a grand opening with Jennifer Lopez performing just shortly before we arrived. Im hoping to get o...
We stopped often on our way back to the city: to admire the landscape, to eat lunch, to explore a kasbah, etc... - notably, Telouet which is crumbling and has a rich history. The detail in every inch...
While in Aït Benhaddou, we met the artist Fertal Lahcen. Despite the fact that he explained it to us, we still dont entirely understand how his process works, but the paintings are lovely and theres ...
On our way back to Marrakesh, we visited Aït Benhaddou, a fortified city that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site for 25 years. Apparently the kasbahs get damaged each time it rains. Most of the pe...

another short video from our night in the sahara i need to find a place closer to home where i can see stars like this more often.
just a short video of our camel ride... probably not a great idea to watch it if you dont like shaky videos.
The noise of the morning fire getting started woke us up just in time to see the sunrise. Deceived by the hot Marrakesh days, we stupidly didnt bring any coats so we wrapped ourselves in blankets and...
Because we took our time getting there, our arrival in the desert was after the sun had set. There was a camp set up and we had a tent to ourselves to sleep in. But first, we went into a larger tent ...
