Sadly, my last two days abroad were all massive travel days with no fun. But that just seems to be how it goes. One skill that I seem to have developed is the ability to fall asleep anywhere- whenever anything is just too boring, uncomfortable, grueling, traumatizing, or annoying- I noticed that I started to pass out. I got so good at this that I actually passed out in the sun during the ride back on the boat. I slept for a lot of the 14 hour bus ride, and then on my 11 hours of flying on the 6th I actually managed to sleep for a few of those hours (I am the most nervous flier ever, but it was actually okay- no turbulence.) I’m going to chalk this up as a really useful life skill that I hope I can maintain- just know that if I’m with you and I start to fall asleep, you just might be annoying, boring, or traumatizing. =) HA. I made it back to Seattle on Saturday night and in my first week back I managed to see a dance performance, give 22.5 hours of massage, take a technique class, perform for a benefit, and go on a 25 mile bike ride. Ahhhhh, welcome back to the workaholic ways. (Actually, this is something I’d like to change, going forward). So far I’ll say it’s really good to be home, back in my space with Betty and all my things and more clothing than I know what to do with. I have some big life changes coming up, but I feel like if I can carry over the confidence that traveling alone for 3 months has given me- I can accomplish anything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042679141-B7I001BKQUIH2D78AZNS/JMP6772small.jpg Blog - Scotland, Inverness day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042678599-86RXSTAS0X3FY1Q38EZ4/JMP6770small.jpg Blog - Scotland, Inverness day 2 - Make it stand out I tried to make this photo dark and spooky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042681200-7AF5QWCSF89I91NW8IW5/JMP6796small.jpg Blog - Scotland, Inverness day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042683142-UDBFMSJGWC1C1WX42RB6/JMP6806small.jpg Blog - Scotland, Inverness day 2 - Make it stand out Silly tourists.

I had lamb, potatoes, and wine and it was all delicious. I got a little bit of attitude for daring to eat out by myself- I’m not sure why. I LOVE eating alone! I sat there reading Margaret Atwood and just thoroughly enjoying myself.

Luckily, I took a lot of photos. My first full day there I decided to attempt a roughly 16 mile bike ride (I wasn’t sure about my stamina due to the shoulder) to Dores and back. After getting used to riding on the WRONG side of the road, I was off. Loch Ness, from a distance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042661524-NZA3HJWFBZC7UUT8DTZ2/JMP6658small.jpg Blog - Scotland, Inverness day 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042673229-CB914AXVO0OV6MJIZLSS/JMP6738small.jpg Blog - Scotland, Inverness day 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042674620-OJGZ3W3YPBPGRNRTLV94/JMP6743small.jpg Blog - Scotland, Inverness day 1 - Make it stand out After the bike ride, I got back to Inverness in time to go to this amazing old bookstore, complete with curmudgeonly owner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042668620-FIHCY14B0SF6IYNBET5K/JMP6709small.jpg Blog - Scotland, Inverness day 1 - Make it stand out When I was a kid, I remember always looking for 4-leaf clovers and never, ever finding them. Somehow though, in the past few years they just seem to be everywhere. I found two on this trip- this one, in Scotland, and the other one was gruesomely at Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/the-last-week-scotland-edinburgh monthly 0.5 2024-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042645431-QN1ZCWH4LOUFD9SYMG1C/JMP6560small.jpg Blog - The last week!

Scotland, Edinburgh - Make it stand out I started my only full day in Edinburgh with a trip to the National Museum of Scotland- I didn’t have time to do much, as I was scheduled to go on a walking tour that afternoon, but I did have a robot spell my name: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042641500-P4FRKSI0Q9G63YBZLNRL/JMP6542small.jpg Blog - The last week! Scotland, Edinburgh - Make it stand out Edinburgh Castle. This place was way too epic to capture with my 50 mm lens. The reason it’s on top of that huge rock like that is because Castle Rock was conveniently created after a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Apparently the whole of Scotland is ancient volcanic land (now dormant, of course). Scotland also used to be closer to the equator and thus had a tropical climate. Basically, Scotland and England collided and stuck together somehow, but are not actually the same piece of land! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042639799-TQUKWDWNY2EVMTOH9TE0/JMP6526small.jpg Blog - The last week!

Scotland, Edinburgh - Make it stand out Overall, I wish I had had more time in Edinburgh but it’s always a good feeling to leave a place wanting more. I feel like I could come back and spent a month just in Scotland, biking and hiking around the country. Unfortunately, my time here ended on a little bit of a low note as the last morning I fell down a flight of stairs in the hostel and messed up my already ailing right shoulder and my right hip. Luckily, now that I’m back home I have access to help with those things, but it did make me quite grumpy for a few days. And no, I wasn’t drunk, just clumsy as per usual. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/london-take-2 monthly 0.5 2024-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042612244-AXX3OJ26DW15TDKJBK0M/JMP6330small.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042625131-BXTMG4DCWKH719JATAVR/JMP6444small.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042610544-949B6738NRW9Z0TFAK02/JMP6295small.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042621299-9SHG94O3PAZGA1Y8BIG8/JMP6415small.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Of course I had to take him to my favorite cemetery, Abney Park.

As a whole, London was pretty rough on me. I learned that it’s not my favorite- it’s too big, the food is terrible, the weather is pretty bad- and I feel like because it’s so big, it doesn’t know what or who it is as a place. Anyway, I also learned that sometimes, despite your best intentions, traumatizing things are still going to traumatize you. Time doesn’t really heal all wounds. But you can keep trying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042605430-6H3EOJHREB7N352OBP0X/JMP6240small1.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042607345-53CNHHX5F2K0DXT6SI7Y/JMP6260small.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out This could probably be a Valtrex advertisement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042613029-3SSMILHGCBPLJHMMVZIR/JMP6340small.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042625531-GLCV4OBFYF86B6LXAVUR/JMP6467small.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042614229-MDPO0NSV96O1JCMFZRNP/IMG_0874.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out The next morning we had another subpar breakfast experience (London has the worst food offerings of pretty much any place I’ve ever been to).

You go to a movie theater and buy popcorn for dinner, of course. Then you eat it while walking down the street. Then you go to a Tesco and further destroy yourself by getting little snack cakes and other junk food to go with your popcorn. Amazing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042628231-79JFZ2EWZHOCIG45B7IR/JMP6479small.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042603530-A7SAXHUYPP564UEKCPPN/IMG_0865.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out My hostel was MUCH better than my previous stay in London and even though I was in a 12 person dorm, I still felt fairly comfortable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042606252-6M5QYJ0WCJ6D73LBNCIQ/JMP6252small1.jpg Blog - London, take 2 - Make it stand out Then we ate some food and walked around Hyde Park for awhile, which was close to where we were both staying.

Oh my god. I actually took this photo after the show, so you could see the lit up marquee.

The next day (August 27), I had to get up early to catch a bus to London. Unfortunately, I was running late and didn’t have time to grab breakfast before I hopped on the tram(s) to get to my pick up location- which ended up just being a park and ride in the middle of nowhere. There was no where to buy food anywhere around and the bus drivers were militant and didn’t let us stop anywhere. One of them was nice enough to share an orange with me, but other than that all I had to eat was the package of stroopwafel. Which, after 10 hours on a bus with no other food- kind of makes you vomit in your mouth a little. When I arrived in London I immediately went to the first restaurant I could find outside of the bus station and ate an entire pizza by myself. I will probably never eat stroopwafel again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042583231-IJDUUDO7E1Q5IJKM8FP9/JMP6014small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam, day 3, 4 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042587031-YZEFWHY3QBMX96B6L3ZW/JMP6047small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam, day 3, 4 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042590545-FQIDYB24GNHR89GSQFID/JMP6085small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam, day 3, 4 - Make it stand out I had lunch by myself, at a place that served Huevos Rancheros.

I saw two exhibits- Taco Anema / In Conference. Portraits of Dutch Administrative Boards, and Guido Guidi / Veramente. Both were inspiring. Then I made my way back to return my bike and rest at my airbnb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042582631-O24LGDNF35AVYUYOS6L9/JMP6012small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam, day 3, 4 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042594141-QYAYIWPIBHOPWK7EXBOD/JMP6164small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam, day 3, 4 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/amsterdam-day-1-and-2-and-happy-birthday-to-me monthly 0.5 2024-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042578330-0NBD5CWUQSAJAMTYQN66/JMP5953small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042574831-EZMXJJDOZPWNQUIUNNIM/JMP5914small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042581831-TYH8FWRG8A6U7G6LTHD9/JMP5986small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042571429-YQU5TLMUIHNQSWINWRVB/JMP5894small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042576891-5IF4S2HZOFN9LBXE7KG2/JMP5935small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042580232-FN4585227WMEROJKMVDH/JMP5965small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042579044-KG93S91UKEKD4K4DRW5T/JMP5956small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042572241-Z13E3ZET52HL733GYVNI/JMP5903small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042573733-YBRKO73CYG5X6A8AWP0C/JMP5924small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042581132-NYTEJ92VPJIFLMEP4SFF/JMP5968small.jpg Blog - Amsterdam: Day 1 and 2 and Happy Birthday to me! - Make it stand out Despite being really wiped out, I did managed to eat eggs benedict, go to Foam, which is an amazing photography museum, and take myself out to a delicious Italian dinner.

It was honestly one of the most beautiful bike rides I’ve ever taken- there is a vast network of numbered bike paths and most of them are separated from the road and surrounded by trees, canals, and beautiful nature.

A door that closes! Privacy! Sunshine! Quiet! And a washer/dryer, a fully functioning kitchen, an adorable cat, a shower with a tub- I almost lost my mind with how happy and comfortable I was. I walked to the Old Town Square to meet my Toronto/Ponderosa friend Vic and her lovely mom for lunch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042487045-XCEPH8NU71240X2UOCS7/JMP5167small.jpg Blog - Prague, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out On the way down from these hills, I meandered in and out of cute shops full of handmade pottery and other things. I have to be careful, because this seems to be a city that makes me want to spend money.

Pauline is gone for the weekend and the Chinese students who are renting the other bedroom in the apartment have been gone sightseeing all day, so me and Zoe the cat have pretty much had the place to ourselves. I decided to take the day off- like a real Saturday! I woke up around 11 AM and put pants on and walked down to the closest little market to get some things to actually make myself breakfast at home. I got organic eggs, vine tomatoes, a bell pepper, an onion, brie, and a latte- for under $10.00. So good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042495499-IC8R42HSR536PGK7QJPF/JMP5202small.jpg Blog - Prague, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042499848-T7UMGDP2TDOGN2R0RGJG/JMP5228small.jpg Blog - Prague, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042488747-X4187IXWYYGGP4RL7DI0/IMG_0749.jpg Blog - Prague, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Other tourists on the Charles Bridge: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042482655-DPBYJAV3UYPHOYCSSDKH/JMP5134small.jpg Blog - Prague, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042494620-UNZQKH0UB8JGBBIHE74O/JMP5201small.jpg Blog - Prague, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out We drank a lot of beer and met some very interesting locals- and spent the night talking and dancing and being silly until we eventually left the bar sometime between 3 and 3:30 AM.

It was pretty sparse, I think with everyone at the Sziget festival, but I was more than happy to have some space from large crowds and some relaxation time. Basically, it was the best. I am so in awe at how being on a bicycle seems to be my go to happy place on this trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042472745-3PCZGT53ZD2XHU4RKS7Z/JMP5104small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out The Communist kiss, which was a display of dominance (in theory), instead of a display of hot gay love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042476846-1P54KO0NNN6WHVZYNL3D/JMP5123small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042479245-ARH02LO0UE57S8IJ1DSI/JMP5125small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042456030-GW29UT9BDO0TD9MYDLCJ/JMP5009small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Erzsebet Bridge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042459620-P79XTSJY6N5QDV3VZRNF/JMP5046small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Don’t mind me, I’m just the creeper taking photos of the back of your neck! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042477931-LJKO50O4C22VEDHEKLIR/JMP5124small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042455129-IMQK5F6EUHVFCXR9TUGS/JMP5007small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Look at these bike lanes! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042477098-CNYFQ7N8J9RQW8PQZY14/JMP5120small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042481345-3TF2KZSHGM5U7WNP68KO/JMP5127small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out And, that’s all for now- time to go catch my bus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042460230-DETNKXB5AP107TCOENSL/JMP5050small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042461723-WUDXP69I6BNY1WIOIR20/JMP5053small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042469261-RSNCNNL53TEFS9ZOTTAE/JMP5094small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out This was a Communist bunker that was build completely in secret- the hired workers were told they were working on a new subway line.

We learned that news from within the country was only reported on if it was happy, but news coming from the west was only reported upon if it was bad- poverty, violence, etc. We also learned that maps of the United States only had a few cities on them- New York, San Francisco, etc- to portray the US and some sort of desolate, non-populated place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042457598-0GIA3HHLWKERYEDKO7Y9/JMP5019small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out I had dinner by myself at a Thai restaurant on Kazinczy Street.

In a nutshell, we learned that there were several phases of Communism- From 1947-1956, it was basically the worst, with a Stalin-istic government whose motto was, “If you are not with us, you are against us.” It was pretty much a totalitarian police kind of state, and lots of dissenters were sent to forced labor camps, not unlike in WWII. It sounds like people’s basic needs were not being met, with food being collected and then redistributed, with not enough for everyone. Also during this time, people were asked to write reports on their friends, neighbors, and family- so you never quite knew who to trust. It’s like the flip side of McCarthyism! Awesome all around. In 1956, there was a revolution and on October 23 several hundred peaceful protesters were killed, and then 200,000 people were forced to flee the country. A lot more people were killed, some things happened, and then the next period of communism started. From 1956-1988 was “Happy Communism,” during which there was a considerable increase in the quality of life. The motto became, “Those who are not against us are with us.” This was also called “Goulash Communism.” Taken from wikipedia: The name is a semi-humorous metaphor derived from “goulash”, a popular Hungarian dish. As goulash is made with an assortment of unlike ingredients, it represents how Hungarian communism was a mixed ideology and no longer strictly adhering to Marxist interpretations as in the past. Sometimes described as “the happiest barrack in the socialist camp,” Hungary in this particular period enjoyed many amenities not available in the rest of Eastern Europe. And then in 1989, Communism ended- which our tour guide described as a peaceful transition because the system had weakened so much. She also says that the reporting done on your friends/neighbors is still a really sore subject with Hungarians and that they need a few more generations to forgive each other. Our tour guide described this building as one of the “nice” Communist era housing complexes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042458830-OLRGCRMKTTCZAQ4QUV2L/JMP5041v2small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042474445-SCQDF68D59ATX2FGYXP6/JMP5121small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042473746-UCGAWVVO9WH2YID9YSIY/JMP5118small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Instant bar, another ruin pub. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042468245-ELDZL7B0JVM5X05VCAGF/JMP5092small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042467632-2JQY6XOL6KDRG0BRNKKA/JMP5089small.jpg Blog - Budapest, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/budapest-night-1-day-1-and-2 monthly 0.5 2024-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042432948-Z65RPJFB0CTCQ8MN7LIO/JMP4854small.jpg Blog - Budapest!

Night 1, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Krisztina was kind enough to loan me her bike, so I think today I’m going to go on a bike ride and also check out another thermal bath- the less touristy Rudas Bath. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042437175-B6J6VT7TZWAEY0C1DR75/JMP4885small.jpg Blog - Budapest! Night 1, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out After the tour, I hung out with a lovely girl from Toronto who was also on the tour- Kelsee. We had dinner at a place where for 4 euros, you have all you can eat food for 2 hours. I drank some wine (apparently Hungary is amazing for wine, yet they do a bad job of advertising this fact. So if you visit, drink the wine- it is cheap and delicious), and sampled some delicious Hungarian cakes- one with apricot filling, another with some sort of clove spice. Yesterday I ventured out and took a 45 minute walk up to the northeast part of the city to the Széchenyi thermal baths. This place was MASSIVE- and very confusing at first. When I walked in the door, a woman with a clipboard tried to get me to pay double for a bunch of things I didn’t need- VIP access, a robe, hot tea, a tour of the facility- I guess that’s what I get for going to the most touristy bathhouse. I paid the regular cheap rate, but in retrospect the tour would have been really helpful- I couldn’t find the lockers, I couldn’t figure out how to use the lockers, I couldn’t find the thermal baths- and a guy yelled at me for hesitating to follow him when I couldn’t read any of the signs and wasn’t sure where I was going. (And I wasn’t the only one- people kept coming up to me in the locker room looking lost and speaking to me in all sorts of languages- luckily, I was able to help a few people and feel better in that way). In the end though, once I figured it all out it was stunningly beautiful. I ended up getting a massage (probably overpriced for the area, but still much less expensive than Seattle) and the massage was very Thai influenced with lots of stretching and contorting. It was much needed and I feel much better physically today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042432305-V1HSPMTW5FALM5MK2EDT/JMP4848small.jpg Blog - Budapest!

Night 1, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out I decided to spend my first morning in Budapest sleeping in until my body decided it didn’t need any more sleep. I have barely done that on this trip, always feeling pressure to get up and see/do things. But I’m hitting another travel weary wall and the extra sleep was so nice. I got up probably around 10:30 AM and had breakfast at the coffee shop next door to my hostel. Oh, hostels. This place sounded great on paper and there are some good things about it. Everything in the building is handmade by local people and/or the people who run/own the hostel. Some things are shabby, but most things are really beautiful and interesting. I’m staying in the bottom floor apartment in a 4 person room. It has a separate door and separate bathroom, which really does make it feel like you are staying in some strange eclectic apartment instead of a hostel. My bed is on a platform and it’s almost a full sized mattress- a rarity in hostel living. However, I get the sense that they think that their crafty interesting decor excuses them from being functional. For example, my roommate got a bunch of bites in the middle of the night- and they changed her linen but didn’t seem too interested or alarmed by what might be biting her. Last night I asked about laundry, and the guy told me that they do it for you for 3 euros. Perfect! He said it would be done by 10 AM this morning. Perfect! I wake up this morning and at 10 AM, I find my dirty laundry still sitting untouched in a bag near the kitchen. This means that today I am wearing dirty underwear and had to wash a bunch of my things in the sink. Which I would have just done last night had I KNOWN they were basically useless when it comes to actually doing what they say they are going to do. Because the lay out of the hostel is so meander-y, there’s not a great common/hangout area, which has made it a lot harder to meet people from the hostel. There’s also not a great sense of organization or help when it comes to finding things to do or getting advice. It’s that sense that when you ask questions, they find you annoying and just want to go back to drinking or sleeping or whatever they were doing before you rudely interrupted them. Anyway, I’m realizing that I don’t actually need things to be beautiful or interesting at all when it comes to where I lay my head at night- I just need things to be functional. If I can wash myself and my clothes, connect to the internet and get work done, have my few practical questions answered by someone who isn’t rude to me, and sleep without being assaulted by constant noise- I am happy. Lessons learned. Sunday afternoon I decided to do one of the free walking tours- this time, the general Budapest one. Our tour guide was amazing, and she led us around for hours. Apparently this statue was of someone’s young daughter dressed up like a princess- I can’t remember the name of the person, but its significance was that it was the first public statue erected after communism ended. It was refreshing because it wasn’t a powerful figure or leader, or propaganda- they just made it because it was nice. I rubbed her knees for good luck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042440341-SUER62FLWGY170ZPS5WK/JMP4907small.jpg Blog - Budapest!

Night 1, Day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Crossing the chain bridge. Budapest is situated on the Danube river, and the river divides the city into the Pest side and the Buda side. In general, the Pest side is more city-like, the Buda side more residential. The Pest side is flat, the Buda side is full of hills. The Pest side is a good place to get cheap food, the Buda side is more expensive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042445647-LH7S2DV0OJRBCA5KIAI1/JMP4932small.jpg Blog - Budapest!

I actually felt pretty disturbed about the idea of taking pictures there, so I mostly just stayed in the experience and didn’t even take out my “good” camera.

But food, beer, and company were happily received instead. Saturday was my last day in Krakow- I had to catch a 3 PM bus, so in the morning I decided to rent a bicycle and bike to this lake that a local person told me about- Lake Zakrzówek. I’m still totally confused by this lake though, because when I got there I was told it is a private lake and you can only get in if you are a diver. The internet also has conflicting information about whether or not you can actually swim/lounge/hang out there. Apparently it was an old stone quarry that got filled in with water so it has really high cliffs and a depth that makes it suitable for diving lessons. In any case, I got to view it from just inside a fence, so that was fun. At least I still had a really beautiful bike ride! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042406032-KN8FVI9IRD9TF68NWY5L/IMG_0626small.jpg Blog - Krakow, day 3, 4, 5 - Make it stand out And then I sampled some vodka.

Instead, Irena Sendlerowa is the real hero, who saved 2500 people at no gain to herself. She was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, but lost to Al Gore. After the second walking tour, I had dinner with some amazing girls, Elien and Liem, from Belgium. It’s so nice to be able to slide in and out of having company and having alone time. After dinner, I went to see a concert at Kościół Świętych Apostołów Piotra i Pawła, a church in Old Town. It was a string quintet, and they played a lot of classical “hits”- Mozart, Bach, Saint Saens, Tchaikovsky- and rounded everything out with an encore of “Yesterday” by the Beatles. it was very beautiful and magical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042370743-MTCN0W9CO337SO9212ZJ/JMP4402small.jpg Blog - Krakow day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042372326-BRDKJ3DLVF349SRYEY7F/JMP4414small.jpg Blog - Krakow day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042368634-UPP82NE45Z8VMSAZAKIQ/JMP4390small.jpg Blog - Krakow day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042373143-JB3IPOGLEHI92VFO0JTF/JMP4419small.jpg Blog - Krakow day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042395147-T8OW4WZ6CH6XVDBYKFAP/JMP4593small.jpg Blog - Krakow day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042381606-44ODXMN3GJ81V24ZSJNS/JMP4505small.jpg Blog - Krakow day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Alko-HOLE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042368331-NB8X2O6LBV3FJ1NNPME0/IMG_0612.jpg Blog - Krakow day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042375042-CTGV4NVQ64EPPYIS5L9A/JMP4431small.jpg Blog - Krakow day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Wawel Castle.

A week dancing in Gut-Stolzenhagen - Make it stand out There’s so much more I could say, especially about the lovely people I met. I could write essays about each one of them. I fear that if I did that though, I’d never finish this post. Luckily, there’s facebook to stalk (connect) with people, so hopefully I will not lose touch. Now I’m back in Berlin for a few days, decompressing and preparing for the last month of my journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042331320-GZHZWL58L2UNU4B97AND/JMP4071small.jpg Blog - Ponderosa!

A week dancing in Gut-Stolzenhagen - Make it stand out The days were structured like this: -Wake up -Breakfast (all of the meals were cooked for you so you just had to show up- basically my dream) -Option to take one of the morning classes offered (Kundalini yoga, technique class, dance aerobics) -Big break in the afternoon- most of this time I spent bicycling around the countryside to this pond with a diving board for swimming, or swimming in the canal -Lunch -Afternoon workshops from 4-8 PM -Dinner -Evening performances, activities, hanging out -Sleep if you are lucky!

A week dancing in Gut-Stolzenhagen - Make it stand out I ended up taking a couple of technique classes (from Jen Polins and Kathleen Hermesdorf) and a Kundalini yoga class. The workshop I took (Thank Goodness for Our Bodies) was based in BMC, or Body Mind Centering techniques. I’ve been sitting here trying to explain what went on and am coming up at a bit of a loss. From the outside, I imagine the practice looking like a big pile of crazy people lying on top of each other and making animal noises. Or a bunch of hippies who must be on drugs lying on the floor in a haze of confusion. Or some sort of slow motion, non-sexual orgy. I’m not sure, but the outside viewpoint doesn’t really matter. “You don’t move me, I move me.” I went into the workshop looking for a way to integrate body injuries and trauma in a more functional way- coming from both a dance perspective and a massage/bodywork perspective. I guess I was looking to have a more singular experience with myself and my injuries. What I came away with was something much more emotional and social, and it was entirely created by the people who were there and the relationships that were formed. I’m realizing that social connections and bonds- intimacy- has become harder for me in recent years. I’ve put up a lot of defense mechanisms to avoid pain and trauma, and to avoid the general exhaustion that being around people causes me most of the time. This creates an exhaustive push/pull dance of desperately wanting connection and then running away when the connection feels too overwhelming, or disappoints me in some way (as will inevitably happen). There’s something interesting about the way engaging in a physical practice with others- dancing, bodywork, creating- meets some very basic primal needs for touch and connection. It’s like the moment there is physical contact, a big sigh of relief happens and there is a measurable physiological change. Why is this not just a regular part of life, daily ritual, therapy? If everyone just got smushed in the fetal position for 10 minutes by 5 of their closest friends every day, I think we would all be much happier. Anyway, I feel like I’ve just bumped up against the edge of this technique, and I hope to study more later. For now, I was happy to spend 4 hours every day with some amazing people- talking about childhood development, organs, connective tissue- and how these things can be addressed through these different techniques. I think the second day of the workshop, it was decided that it was important to have an elaborate break with sweet treats, coffee, and tea- I took some photos of our break on Wednesday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042342550-MX9JODMI37FKWQHH5U23/JMP4182small.jpg Blog - Ponderosa!

A week dancing in Gut-Stolzenhagen - Make it stand out Before our class on Thursday, some of us ended up making a short dance film on the bridge over the canal. Afterwards, we all jumped into the canal to go swimming. I can’t tell you how liberating the German/European morays around nudity are- in fact, it was sort of an all over relaxation about everything. You forget your towel after your shower- whatever. You leave your phone somewhere, and you will be able to retrieve it later. You are out on the countryside, so locking up valuables is sort of a moot point. You have your space, and people are constantly in it, but respect it. After nearly 2 months of traveling and spending so much of that time being on guard about things- locking things into lockers, having my life folded neatly into 2 bags I can carry, looking over my shoulder on the street by myself, trying to not be that naive tourist idiot- it was so nice to just sink into a place that was absolutely safe and comfortable. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/berlin-day-678 monthly 0.5 2024-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042306930-B2O4LSW6W6RIZWO5B7ZE/JMP3875small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042298033-X432ZM9BUGQLVRQKWTPD/JMP3823small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042302529-716WGGQTN2YCPAJWNXCD/JMP3841small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042304229-ANE8FFNQICLTFI3EDGSS/JMP3849small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042282244-GGB6PZ9Y1FOMF1KPEC6E/JMP3650small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042288441-JXBDFMBAO7KPVHJ7GLVR/JMP3696small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042307641-ZXU5P4SN3AUP4TZ3XR2S/JMP3876small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042304931-11HQC7DXFES6ICSPH9NT/JMP3856small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042281544-HN2ENCD91GTGKZ5IY9F9/JMP3645small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042291832-J72PFS6I5PQ8ZJ18ZB6W/JMP3725small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042300931-BURADSFBQEDRESD5VZD1/JMP3839small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042290144-COKEOVYGX0UH0IFY610E/JMP3703small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042295844-OCO0DWORVDX12RCIJ5FK/JMP3783small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042308426-EJD7D9KP85N681M57040/JMP3884-2small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out This will be my last entry for a week, but I’m sure I’ll have plenty to write about when I get back to Berlin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042293619-C1HOGKCN0DCLEONTT7NH/JMP3736small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 6,7,8 - Make it stand out Friday I mostly hung around doing nothing, but I did manage to take a yoga class.

The airport shut down in 2008, and they turned it into a GIANT park. Brilliant! You can now bike/rollerblade/fly kites/drink beer, etc. on the old runways. I can’t express how delighted I am with this place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042226231-KRRJ50ZNSZAX0A2NU08U/JMP3325small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042237030-G9ARBLNV6B33H7UCL13W/JMP3439small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042238946-V6KTYKYHV3KFCM35KCB7/JMP3443small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 3 - Make it stand out Overall, this day was exactly what I needed- some relaxing, some nature, getting on a bike- I feel refreshed and happy and (almost) recovered from my cold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042234398-3A11IHDYLYGVZ013K6DE/JMP3395small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 3 - Make it stand out Looking towards the airport and the bird sanctuary.

Today was supposed to start with a 4 hour bike tour of the city, but I had some transportation issues. I’m borrowing a beautiful orange bike from Juli (Elliat’s roommate), but the bike has some quirks that I am still learning. Last night, the seat kept moving back and forth at random, hurling me forward or backward and strangulating my crotch. This morning (after fixing the seat issue) the back wheel completely locked up. Juli showed me her magic trick to unlock it and I was able to reschedule my bike tour for tomorrow. Elliat and I spent the first part of the day in a cafe getting work done- she, doing legitimate work, and me- buying train and bus tickets for the last month of my journey. We then went out on the bikes and went to Columbiabad, which is a giant public pool and park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042232333-57K2809LZA5JCAMH6MZR/JMP3388small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042228360-LK8JK34OOGGT2RDT0PYL/JMP3354small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042227132-219U2GVGB1ETX194UO74/JMP3328small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042231632-SDRD0MJA3JP6AIOAJAEY/JMP3385small.jpg Blog - Berlin day 3 - Make it stand out There is also a section that is a giant community garden where people have build all sorts of different structures to sit/lay on.

Perhaps it’s because the neighborhood I’m staying in is much less touristy than Paris, thus making it more intimidating to a foreigner who doesn’t speak the language. Maybe it’s because a lot of places here don’t take my credit card (and I’m waiting for funds to be available on my debit card, which makes me feel pretty stuck/unable to do things.) Maybe it’s just because I’m sick and a little weary of traveling. Whatever the case, I’m finding myself feeling a little bit paralyzed today. Other traveling people have described to me that terrified feeling of not being able to leave the place you are staying and I am definitely experiencing that a little bit now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042220045-UCJBDNPADI75P1R0HYB6/JMP3287small.jpg Blog - Berlin, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/paris-day-4 monthly 0.5 2024-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042207230-8LFUGARCJ88O7OBIRXZW/JMP3204small.jpg Blog - Paris, day 4 - Make it stand out The Venus de Milo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042215140-G20CU3UAJNXZPGCQM23B/JMP3249small.jpg Blog - Paris, day 4 - Make it stand out Ingres, Grande Odalisque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042214531-C49FGQRCODT2KUOQDAJL/JMP3257small.jpg Blog - Paris, day 4 - Make it stand out Francisco de Goya, Portrait of Luis María de Cistué y Martínez (1788–1842), known as El niño azul (The Boy in Blue) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042212637-VLB4SU19JS84Q1NMS23I/JMP3255small.jpg Blog - Paris, day 4 - Make it stand out Leonardo da Vinci, St. John the Baptist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042215799-I7O2JMICY7DHWY63URLJ/JMP3261small.jpg Blog - Paris, day 4 - Make it stand out Ingres, Mademoiselle Riviere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042219344-28F4KBCLP4I3V8UYD7AL/JMP3277small.jpg Blog - Paris, day 4 - Make it stand out I have to say, a lot of history (and history as reflected in art) really depresses me. I grow weary of the ever-present story of patriarchal societies battling each other for power, control, and resources. I grow tired of mainly wealthy (white) men being what is represented. I feel irritated with religious superstition and holy wars. Mostly, the more I study our collective history, the more saddened and doomed I feel for humanity. People are pretty much the worst. My host in Berlin reminded me that not all of history is recorded, and that those in power are those who get to decide our collective “story,” or what is passed down. I am inspired to seek out some alternative histories of underrepresented people doing incredible things- at least to make myself feel better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042206532-0L6EHNA8XMPKDEKNUZ0R/JMP3199small.jpg Blog - Paris, day 4 - Make it stand out The Mona Lisa!

I think I got really dehydrated with all of the walking yesterday and I’ve had a bad sort throat and body aches all day. I have literally done nothing today except eat breakfast. My goal for the day is to take a shower eventually and then wander over to a food market and get something healthy to eat (and maybe go find a park to eat it in.) This is depressing because this means there’s quite a bit in Paris that I’m not going to get to see- but I’m also realizing that I can’t keep going at the pace I’ve been going at, because clearly my body is unhappy with it. Tomorrow is my last day here before I catch an overnight bus (leaving at 7:30 PM) to go to Berlin. I definitely don’t want to be sick on the bus, so resting today is even more important. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042203036-50316IWYKJSL7ZXY06YN/JMP3172small.jpg Blog -

Paris/France day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out My bus friend actually bought my metro pass for me because the machine wouldn’t take my non-chipped card and then escorted me to my first train connection- he and I are going to try to get together for coffee or something later in the week. I also made another 5 minute friend on my second train who escorted me the rest of the way to my hostel. So far this hostel is immensely nicer than the one in London- It’s larger, cleaner, and surprisingly quieter despite the constant party atmosphere downstairs. When I arrived I went up to my 8 lady dorm room and discovered that everyone was out for the evening. I didn’t figure out until later that it was because yesterday was Bastille Day. Nevermind that I missed the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower- I had blissful peace and quiet and a very long hot shower. Although, showers here are very funny things. There’s always something that goes just a little bit wrong. In this case, the bathroom has motion sensor lights that are only activated from the front of the bathroom- the showers are in the back. About 4 or 5 times I was left naked, wet, and soapy in complete darkness. I think the universe is conspiring to try to keep me as filthy as possible. The beds here are actually nice. They have a curtain for privacy, a reading light, a variety of plugs and charging options- it’s like my own little secret cave. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042175145-4NYXCZDXTYFJQJS2LYPO/IMG_04991.jpg Blog - Paris/France day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042183542-V9T9LLXRRG5V21SRYY2Y/JMP2840small.jpg Blog - Paris/France day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042177009-L9OO7S78ESWC9NQN5GHY/JMP2760small.jpg Blog - Paris/France day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042184441-8316XVQ5EI2FBRRNEA3P/JMP2843small.jpg Blog - Paris/France day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042172697-UKUTKXWTE8O2IF487AUV/IMG_0493.jpg Blog - Paris/France day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out On the ferry I treated myself to a latte and a flake candy bar.

A few mornings ago I woke up to discover that a mouse (or some other rodent creature) had chewed a hole in my suitcase during the night and ate some almonds I had forgotten were in there. Normally, I am a fan of creatures of all kinds- as long as they aren’t sneakily chewing holes in my belongings in the middle of the night a few short feet from my face. The wifi (that actually works that you have to pay for) hasn’t been working pretty much the entire time that I’ve been here. This means that the teeny tiny lobby (the only place that the “free” wifi works) is constantly full of people trying to Skype with their grandma or text their BFF. If I want to post pictures or do anything on the internet I’m lucky to find a tiny place to maybe sit where I can be surrounded by other people and their loud conversations constantly. This is pretty much an introvert’s nightmare. This morning I tried to take a shower- I got into the shower stall and discovered that there was literally no water. None at all. Eventually I was able to move to another bathroom where the water worked sometimes, sputtering on and off at random moments, scalding and freezing me as it did. My 15 other roommates are alright, except they leave their smelly clothes everywhere (maybe they have as much trouble with the shower as I did). Clearly, I would not survive in another century or a third world country, though I’d like to think I could get over it and adapt. I just really hate being dirty and uncomfortable. This is why I don’t do things like go camping or live with other people. HA! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042159003-3IW8Q3UFZPKS4WKDIFE5/JMP2437small.jpg Blog - London day 4 and 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042152235-LOSGPOMN0WS3JHQL5PEY/JMP2329-2small.jpg Blog - London day 4 and 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/london-day-3 monthly 0.5 2024-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042142549-LSGEPJ5M44K0XUL7C5P4/JMP2193small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042135648-B5LINNLGNEVK7ZHBIYKV/JMP2131small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042139342-BFMKP3H1SV1NCDTPYTVD/JMP2174small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042138541-ND0G2H03TNLY2SAOJ49X/JMP2139small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042137143-KMTTJ6VGN0G2QXSNNE6O/JMP2133small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042141630-Y6ABIQTWHV4AXKTQWOWY/JMP2191small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042143243-8VAQXKX77UFVFN83LKKK/JMP2206small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out I’ve decided that mostly what is making me grumpy here is that my hostel sucks. There are pretty much no places to go to have privacy or even comfort. Even the public areas are annoying- instead of wanting to talk to people, I just want to punch them. I’m trying to just get over myself and be open to the experience, but the truth is that I was basically born a grandmother and I really like my quiet time and “young” people mostly just irritate me. Lesson learned- I’ll be looking for less hip, more boring grandmother hostels in my future travels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042140142-0KH7PU3JCGQYDER2UVGW/JMP2183small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out I took one of those double decker buses back, snapping photos out of the top of the bus on my way back to the hostel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042138900-3Y7J8IZCQ2HUVXDWAQE5/JMP2150small.jpg Blog - London, day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/london-day-1-and-2 monthly 0.5 2024-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042130945-ZIJTC76PBZSCB1U8EJQT/10413427_10102665061651941_3691540976589901523_n.jpg Blog - London, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042131044-0Z6B3VL1EZYRVVS34SVJ/JMP2043small.jpg Blog - London, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042134944-OGHDNJS9IBXQATUH8EBP/JMP2114small.jpg Blog - London, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out A short list of things that are annoying me: -My hostel was supposed to have free internet yet it only has free internet in the very small, very uncomfortable lobby downstairs. -Sleeping in a room with 15 other people. -The fact that I’ve been warned not to keep food in the room because one of the other girls had a mouse (!) chew through her canvas backpack and eat her trail mix. -People getting in my physical personal space. -stressing about money. I think I’m having a sort of travelers malaise not having true alone time or feeling like myself. Even when you think the entire goal of your traveling is to NOT be yourself- is to decide, finally- who and what you want to be outside of your ordinary life- you can start to feel completely and utterly lost if you don’t have some form of connection to who you actually are. For me, this means I need to make art and take some dance classes. Tomorrow morning I’m going to venture off and take a modern class and then I’m going to give myself some down time and work on some Photoshop extensive images I’ve been ignoring since January. I think it’s also important when traveling over longer periods of time to remember to give yourself days off from being a tourist- to have days where maybe you just sleep in, sit, rest, and read a book. I’ve been traveling for roughly a month now and I feel like it’s already been a lifetime. And I have two more months to go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042133844-RV6Y3FI01MORGE14M0YJ/JMP2093small.jpg Blog - London, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042134331-XS4FCHTIGL49JE18TWDQ/JMP2109small.jpg Blog - London, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042129943-OAMNGJAX49KIOIWVQX11/JMP2018small.jpg Blog - London, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out After feeling like I was back in Seattle, I was cheered up when I saw these adorable people on the street: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042132644-C9L5FE9RPTZ93P05FCKD/JMP2072small.jpg Blog - London, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042130449-XYY6JZS4FJ8YL6RFNEIN/JMP2035small.jpg Blog - London, day 1 and 2 - Make it stand out After arriving in London, I effectively started freaking out about money and how much everything costs here- the pound system is deceptive, because you want to believe everything is in dollars. I’m challenging myself to not eat out while I am here and to have a few days where I purposefully occupy myself with things that are free. I went to Tesco and bought groceries that I can live off of for at least a few days, and today I spent most of the day in the Tate Modern (free!) and then took a (free!) ghosts of London walking tour. The Tate was lovely- I forgot how much I enjoy going to art museums by myself. It becomes such a meditative experience, weaving in and out of things that interest you the most, taking time where you want to take time without pressure from anyone else. My favorite exhibits were a Robert Mapplethorpe exhibit featuring a room of his amazing self portraits and an exhibit of drawings by Louise Bourgeois. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/iceland-day-3-gullfoss-geysir-amp-ingvellir monthly 0.5 2024-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042125832-L0MS0CX8ES02F0303UJT/JMP1959small.jpg Blog - Iceland, day 3: Gullfoss, Geysir & Þingvellir - Make it stand out Pan friend arctic char https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042121442-XGDH6VA99Q8069O2S1UW/JMP1931small.jpg Blog - Iceland, day 3: Gullfoss, Geysir & Þingvellir - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042124648-WBCKBUAW4KJK0ATAK7QG/JMP1971small.jpg Blog - Iceland, day 3: Gullfoss, Geysir & Þingvellir - Make it stand out I have a confession to make. I’ve been avoiding paying for lunches by taking extra hard boiled eggs from the hostel breakfast and saving them until lunchtime. Food is insanely expensive here- I got a mediocre dinner at the hostel last night that cost about $27.00. So I figured, since I’ve been saving money by not really having lunch except for hard boiled eggs and since mediocre food is expensive- I might as well splurge on some expensive AMAZING food. So Michael and I went out to a sushi restaurant called Sushisamba in Reykjavik and had a 6 course Icelandic feast. I figured I may as well try some local food while I’m here. I swiftly became one of those awful people who takes photos of their food. Shots of Brennivín, which is Icelandic Schnapps https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042128032-AXKTREPYA6ANY54W4FXI/JMP1965small.jpg Blog - Iceland, day 3: Gullfoss, Geysir & Þingvellir - Make it stand out Grilled lamb fillet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042129444-EU1ATFOAAE186L1NSYHG/JMP1966small.jpg Blog - Iceland, day 3: Gullfoss, Geysir & Þingvellir - Make it stand out Of course, in typical fashion I ate dessert before I remembered to take a photo of it.

Our guide shared with us that if you press your hand under the bottom jaw of an alligator (basically where the digastric muscles would be in a human), it will think it is at risk of drowning and you will subdue it. Also, alligators do not have the greatest vision, so when you are on a boat they will only register the size of the boat- therefore, presuming that you are much larger than they are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042053731-H8WQZIIFIMUPGWFAJOVG/JMP0906small.jpg Blog - Key West to South Miami Beach by way of the Everglades - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042044732-ZYHHJFELBUEXZAC830JH/JMP0938small.jpg Blog - Key West to South Miami Beach by way of the Everglades - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042045437-EBUKKS2P6Y6UYY1YRTUE/JMP0873small.jpg Blog - Key West to South Miami Beach by way of the Everglades - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042049342-197LP5FYI70QK3V60JFR/JMP0885small.jpg Blog - Key West to South Miami Beach by way of the Everglades - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042054443-14GO8JM64U2Q8DVE4DFY/JMP0933small.jpg Blog - Key West to South Miami Beach by way of the Everglades - Make it stand out After the tour I dropped the car off at the airport, which was an endeavor- the rental car return at the Miami airport is actually just a giant 3 level parking garage. Luckily, I was on the first floor- but there is apparently no such thing as a bicycle route out of the airport- when I asked about pedestrian exits, people looked at me like I was insane. Eventually, I figured out how to get on some surface streets by going the wrong way down a couple of one way roads. It was a 12 mile journey back to South Beach with some challenging riding (no shoulder, no bike lanes, lots of traffic) and some very pleasant riding (along the Venetian Causeway). I’d like to take a moment to offer a public service announcement. Dear all men, everywhere, Whistling, yelling, or in any way trying to get my attention while I’m on a loaded bicycle trying not to die in traffic- will just make me hate you and think you are a total creep. Also, I don’t want to talk to you. Ever. You are just some random person on the street who may or may not be threatening to me, a woman alone on a bicycle. You are not entitled to my time and attention- I am busy. I’ve got places to go. I don’t know what you think you are trying to accomplish, but mind your own fucking business and please just leave me alone. Love, Jenny I’m back at my hostel for another night before I venture to NYC! So far I’ve been the only person in a 4 person dorm, which basically means I am beyond happy and can watch Dawson’s Creek episodes and have loud phone conversations without annoying my roommates. I’m absolutely wiped out today, so apart from an Art Deco walking tour later, most of my day will be spent doing this: https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/key-west-day-3 monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042036439-LFISV8G0Q7I647X9HCSN/JMP0786small.jpg Blog - Key West, Day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042034035-3OEDN40TYKH2HZE6L9VL/JMP0745small.jpg Blog - Key West, Day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042039933-CJ03PY13XBK62F6EYSYZ/JMP0818small.jpg Blog - Key West, Day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042031631-IC3NY01MUFE9WHWDNHZ5/JMP0705small.jpg Blog - Key West, Day 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042035698-6JS1O3I80W7AN1E7XC95/JMP0768small.jpg Blog - Key West, Day 3 - Make it stand out We stopped for cuban sandwiches and this roaming gang of teenage chickens tried to steal our food.

I first read about Robert about 6 months ago and was determined to come visit him. He’s basically a creepy doll with a legend. He was given to a boy named Eugene in 1906 by a Bahamian servant who was displeased with the family- thus, giving a cursed doll to their child, naturally. Seems like they deserved it! The family claims that soon afterwards they would hear a voice that was not Eugene’s coming from his room. Neighbors saw the doll moving from window to window when the family was out. People also claim to have seen Robert’s expression change and see him blink. He would also move and knock over furniture and just generally be threatening. Legend is that if Robert is displeased with you, your life will suddenly become more difficult and terrible. When we arrived, we were told that we must introduce ourselves to Robert and ask politely to take his picture or else the curse would be passed onto us. I had to ask twice: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729042024042-97DZX7U7PD1505EPFQ4E/JMP0585small.jpg Blog - Key West, Day 2 - Make it stand out After an afternoon nap, I headed out to take the Ghosts and Graveyards ghost tour at sunset.

I would bike a few miles and then have to stop and rest. This was made worse by the fact that the “bike trail” was under construction for roughly 10 miles, which meant that it was a total mess with no shoulder to speak of on that part of the road. I kept finding air conditioned places to pop into, if only for a few minutes. By the time I had only 2.5 miles left to go, I had to stop at a Dunkin Donuts because I had started to sweat profusely and then get chills. I was also feeling dizzy and disoriented. I know I looked awful and dirty, because I got quite a few strange stares whenever I stepped into a public place. I’m pretty sure I had the beginnings of heat exhaustion. I’ve honestly never been happier to arrive at a place than when I reached my motel for the night. It’s lovely, and the people and animals are sweet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041988598-V5A56TVKNHGAT0KOHQ1H/JMP0219small1.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out I stopped for lunch at the Hobo Cafe, which a college friend of mine wrote about when she biked the Keys. I had a delicious blackened Mahi Mahi quesadilla and a beer. The nice guy at the bike shop in San Diego told me that if I ever started to get dehydrated, I should drink a beer and then immediately down a few glasses of water. So I obliged, which I’m not sure helped or hurt the second part of my day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041995139-88HLNKP3YL2RP32EWHIV/JMP0231small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041985630-5O8W9PF0XH7YI0MUC050/IMG_0214small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out The first 20 miles to Key Largo were great- I biked on the 1, which has a comfortable enough shoulder even though the cars are speeding past at 60 MPH. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041988236-14ZP4TJF8JQ328MB8AIB/JMP0218small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041993721-90RB38G4Y3JEXH2JRBIJ/JMP0251small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041990736-GP7VBMIXKR4XJMYI9I95/JMP0244small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041991437-X1BE9PUM5CN6JB4ISS6G/JMP0261small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041986198-0DVU8MBI6FL2MUO63TUO/IMG_0217small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041992834-GAUNGIGLXZOQI9JDPBAK/JMP0259small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041986953-HCU83G3QAZU0AWXTF840/JMP0213small.jpg Blog - Florida City to Islamorada, Bike Trip day 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/miami-beach-to-florida-city-bike-trip-day-1 monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041984107-P7Z4BN5A7OIW6L1CQ6L7/JMP0210small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach to Florida City, Bike Trip day 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041981599-LXPVFLBSLJNCX9ZGQ5NA/JMP0157small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach to Florida City, Bike Trip day 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041977541-71M8SOZU3U3SSEQRM0JD/JMP0136small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach to Florida City, Bike Trip day 1 - Make it stand out Today was the start of my 9 day journey down to Key West and back by way of bicycle. Today my ride was roughly 40 miles, so I got an early start after eating breakfast at the hostel. One of the hardest things right off the bat was figuring out how to organize the majority of my stuff (the things I didn’t leave at the bike shop with my roller suitcase) into the panniers. It was also a learning curve figuring out how to balance the extra weight on the bicycle. By mid day, I mostly got the hang of it. Have I mentioned that I’m not a cyclist, and that I don’t really know what I’m doing? It’s true. The longest ride I’ve ever done before today was 24 miles. I’ve mostly avoided bicycles as a general rule since the bike accident in 7th grade that left me with a cracked upper jaw, cracked and broken teeth, and permanent scars on my face and hands. The fact that I’m riding at all is actually kind of amazing. Maybe I feel like I have something to prove to myself- taking on a difficult task combined with my own ignorance of how to do it- there’s something very thrilling about that. I’ve tried researching advice on bike paths and riding specifically in the Keys, and I just keep coming upon alarmist things about alligators and traffic. So I’ve stopped looking. Seriously- I’ve decided to go into this at least partially blind for my own sanity. Before I left San Diego, I got some supplies at Missions Hills Bike Shop, and this wonderful man convinced me that I needed to go to REI and buy a pair of bike shorts. I’m so grateful that he did- I feel like my ass chafing would probably be much worse now without them. Not to mention having tight shorts meant that I could comfortably shove my phone down them and have easy access to my maps and camera. Despite this, I only managed a few shots along the journey, as I was concentrating on not falling off or getting run over. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041979240-TOAZTKMFE6CB7B54FMV7/JMP0137small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach to Florida City, Bike Trip day 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041982699-AZ3KD3JVGNWOCG5O4JPN/JMP0174small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach to Florida City, Bike Trip day 1 - Make it stand out Since I was cheap with food all day, I treated myself to beer and seafood for dinner.

Honestly- I love the heat and humidity. If I had a super power, I suppose it would be being able to withstand high temperatures comfortably and with joy. I didn’t start actually feeling hot until mid-day under the bright sun. Lucky for me, it started thunder storming shortly thereafter and I became drenched and very cool. I had to stop at the Coral Castle Museum on the way. One of my favorite things are these outsider artist projects/fortresses. Some other favorites include the Beer Can House in Houston, and Salvation Mountain in Niland, CA. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/miami-beach monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041975936-K341P4CXV08AP3SUW3HG/JMP0115small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041974600-ENW70U9IBHE9H05Z6N0A/JMP0110small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041974019-NCT5RKX9O4NZZFIVCQ8Y/JMP0102small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041976631-0N99U0LXE1RD1WH3AP8I/JMP0124small.jpg Blog - Miami Beach - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/julian-ca-pie-and-the-forest-of-no-return monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041968573-U718RUV8S9SFXZ15VFJL/JMP0076small.jpg Blog - Julian, CA- pie and the forest of no return - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041973331-WBQ6J61TL83V1LD6PZ1S/JMP0032small.jpg Blog - Julian, CA- pie and the forest of no return - Make it stand out Today is my last day in San Diego.

Did I mention that I’m not a cyclist and have never done a long distance bike trip before? Needless to say, my nerves are alive and well. But that’s part of the adventure, I suppose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041969131-VZ38K4JDNK3N3U567D76/JMP0066small1.jpg Blog - Julian, CA- pie and the forest of no return - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041972380-76UGEZATTVCTI9TYH0P0/JMP0029small.jpg Blog - Julian, CA- pie and the forest of no return - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041971844-WXH8P4VV1MWXXORMY3V9/JMP9998small.jpg Blog - Julian, CA- pie and the forest of no return - Make it stand out You can’t go to Julian without getting a slice of pie at Mom’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041967757-12MNQA19LLHUG6GB4NBV/JMP9991small.jpg Blog - Julian, CA- pie and the forest of no return - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041969831-2O44XDP0SEFHK713TNKZ/JMP0003small.jpg Blog - Julian, CA- pie and the forest of no return - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/san-diego-little-italy-spruce-street-suspension-bridge monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041963232-BYDK7SMUNU101H8GVAYF/JMP9909small.jpg Blog - San Diego, Little Italy, Spruce Street Suspension Bridge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041964232-927Q2I8CP1QYNKVSXHY3/JMP9923small.jpg Blog - San Diego, Little Italy, Spruce Street Suspension Bridge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041964930-UCV0MFZZHE9FGSKPP3SX/JMP9907small.jpg Blog - San Diego, Little Italy, Spruce Street Suspension Bridge - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041961820-A3DHPWPUOP66OG71STWG/JMP9899small.jpg Blog - San Diego, Little Italy, Spruce Street Suspension Bridge - Make it stand out Then we ventured to the Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, which is another one of my favorite things in San Diego. I stumbled upon it accidentally on one of my long walks when I used to live here. San Diego is actually full of foot bridges, but I think this one is the most majestic. People like to leave padlocks locked onto the metal cables with their names and dates on them- like carving your initials into a tree. We also encountered some people having a beer and a sandwich, just hanging out in the middle of the bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041960249-W7ZHDM2907R01I9JBALO/JMP9888small1.jpg Blog - San Diego, Little Italy, Spruce Street Suspension Bridge - Make it stand out We passed a few brewery/tasting rooms on the way and stopped in for a beer flight. The best one was a curry coconut stout, which I might have to go back and drink again tomorrow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041965947-KT1O4JW44LR1HJNPSY5R/JMP9936small.jpg Blog - San Diego, Little Italy, Spruce Street Suspension Bridge - Make it stand out And of course, the day would not be complete without a trip to Balboa Park and…doing this on a rock.

There’s something especially calming about San Diego at night, particularly while meandering through residential streets. You can hear crickets, smell night blooming flowers- and if you are me- gaze into people’s homes in a voyeuristic fashion. I like houses- I like them for their iconic beauty, for the lives I can imagine happening inside- for me, a home seems like such an unattainable dream- a place of refuge and also suspicion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041957433-99WZW0BLFPTQE93D955Y/JMP9808small.jpg Blog - San Diego, Hillcrest & University Heights - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041950238-WAOTWE1KYV0ARKS9V7O7/JMP9759small.jpg Blog - San Diego, Hillcrest & University Heights - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041953120-APBZ13HDS2YN27H99MZE/JMP9778small1.jpg Blog - San Diego, Hillcrest & University Heights - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041959497-0IRUJDEOGQ7WJMFT0OF7/JMP9832small1.jpg Blog - San Diego, Hillcrest & University Heights - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041954030-JQO99YS8EF0T7ZJQKYO9/JMP9785small.jpg Blog - San Diego, Hillcrest & University Heights - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jennypeterson.com/blog/the-last-of-desert-hot-springs-the-orangest-of-counties monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041949139-9W88ITBXYLXAIYPD7UQ1/JMP9706small.jpg Blog - The last of Desert Hot Springs, The Orangest of counties - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63c0b5dc8c530a6e003ffb60/1729041949736-7A3F53BJCRV5BRGHGZ3I/JMP9710small.jpg Blog - The last of Desert Hot Springs, The Orangest of counties - Make it stand out And now I’m back in San Diego for another 4 days of adventure and hanging out with friends.
