While in Serbia we caught a taxi downtown for some lunch. We landed in Skadarlija, an old bohemian neighborhood in the center of Belgrade. Tri Sesira, or “The Three Hats,” in English, caught our eye with its beautiful terrace seating and affordable menu. The menu had relatively good English translations, which is always very helpful.… Continue reading TBT | Dining Fine at Tri Sesira
Those Parcell’s Doughnuts Make Me Go Nuts
Parcell’s Bakery is possibly my favorite doughnut stop in the entire world. Located in Draffenville, Kentucky just a few miles from I-24, it’s a great place to drop in and grab some delicious and local flavor. The doughnuts are made fresh every morning, and it’s less than $10 for a dozen. That’s including filled long-johns,… Continue reading Those Parcell’s Doughnuts Make Me Go Nuts
TBT | Belgrade | A Surprising Treat
On my journey through Eastern Europe I didn’t have incredibly high expectations. My friends traveling with me had planned our stops, and in many ways I was just along for the ride. We caught a train in from Budapest, and while that trip turned out to be problematic, Belgrade was amazing. We spent the day… Continue reading TBT | Belgrade | A Surprising Treat
Preview | Road Trippin’
It’s adventure time! Like so many blogs, this one finds itself at the intersection of personal and private life. This month I had a couple of important things to do, one in the Midwest and the other on the East Coast, so now I am making the trip across several states. Lucky for you, I… Continue reading Preview | Road Trippin’
TBT | Mix’n it up at Mixr Pizza
When I’m in Budapest, there is one place I always try to hit up: Mixr pizza. It’s a love affair that started years ago, and it never fails to deliver. Except that I always eat in. There are three locations of Mixr spread around the city. My last time there I dropped in near Heroes… Continue reading TBT | Mix’n it up at Mixr Pizza
New Year, New Stuff
It’s 2017! The last few months of life have been crazy. Lots of changes, transitions, new experiences and new places. Going into the new year, I’m trying not to make a lot of plans, and as usual that isn’t working out. One thing I do want to try to do, however, is keep up with… Continue reading New Year, New Stuff
Growing Up
I just need to write today. I needed a break from processing element of change #347 of this season. So here I am, sipping my gingerbread latte out of a red cup at Starbucks, easing my pain with the opiate of the rest of the masses. The days are ticking down. Months have turned into… Continue reading Growing Up
The Safety Dance
Most of the time life here is really wonderful, peaceful, and “normal.” Occasionally it isn’t. This post is not intended to dramatize or exaggerate those exceptions, but to try to provide an honest peek into one part of the reality of daily living. I love weddings here. A huge community gathering filled with traditional dancing,… Continue reading The Safety Dance
Race Report | Cappadocia Ultra Trail 60k
“You’re not afraid, you’re not afraid. Do not be afraid. You will not be afraid.” I supposed I should have realized when I signed up for an ultramarathon in the mountains it might come into conflict with my fear of heights at some point. However, hours into the race with shaky legs and a fuzzy… Continue reading Race Report | Cappadocia Ultra Trail 60k
Race Announcement | Cappadocia Ultra
Guess what y’all? Tomorrow I’m diving off into the great blue yonder to run 60K at the Salomon Cappadocia Ultra! Now since the last time I posted about running was six months ago in April, you probably have some questions. I will now use my amazing internet telepathy powers and answer them. Wow, this race… Continue reading Race Announcement | Cappadocia Ultra
