Good Morning, Good Guinness

Posted on October 28, 2014 by lisafindley

I mean, I know there’s a joke about a Guinness being a meal, but is it really a Thursday morning breakfast? Spotted this on the walk to work last week. Must have been a lively Wednesday night for someone–especially as the closest bar is at least a hundred yards away.

As I used the paper towels in this bathroom in Bangkok, I saw this sign:

A Short Photo Tour of Zagreb

Posted on October 13, 2014 by lisafindley

By the time I got to Zagreb in June 2013, I was worn out after nearly two weeks of late nights along the Croatian coast. I stayed just a couple days in the capital city, long enough to visit the Museum of Broken Relationships, catch a choral concert outside the cathedral, and eat burek. I spent at least half a day seated on a bench in one of the plazas, near a bubbling fountain, reading a book in the sunshine–a very pleasant experience, but one which doesn’t lend itself to exciting retellings or dramatic photos. So here’s a photo post of some of the sights I enjoyed on my short walks around Zagreb, a city worth a closer look on another visit.
