Korea: Not in Europe

So my sister has a friend who just signed up to go teach "abroad." She was telling my sister all about how she was so excited to visit all the countries surrounding the Mediterranean, seeing as she'd be so close and have a lot of time to travel... My sister asked her where exactly she'd be teaching...

Korea.

South Korea... not in Europe

You can't make this stuff up.

(Or as George commented... isn't it that tiny country in the Pyrenees between France and Spain?)

Little Liechtenstein

My love for the tiny country of Liechtenstein has been well documented. One day I will make their Olympic squad, merely by default. Usually they do not compose a security threat, seeing as my hometown of Puyallup has more people. However, these "little people" are always up to something... better go to The Onion for the report:

Saw this map when I was looking around the local book store: Iraq for, and I quote, "Businessmen and Tourists." Really?

Amalfi Coast Images

Positano on Italy's famed Amalfi Coast

Looking back through my travel photos, it's hard to pick out a favorite spot or destination. However, today I came across a couple shots from our trip to Italy's Amalfi Coast. It just reminded me how beautiful and varied the many landscapes are along the Mediterranean. I don't even remember editing these before, only further proving how jaded one gets when living in Europe and getting accustomed to such extraordinary sites.
