Greece part 2

After the marathon the group of us limped onto an overnight ferry to Crete. The rest of the days run together. On Crete we stayed at the most amazing villa. On Crete we visited ruins, beaches, small towns, and a ravines . Here is a photo journey of days 3-6...

Yesterday was amazing. My family (minus Timo and Dave :( ) ran the Athens marathon, 2500 years after Phiedippidis ran to Athens to announce the Athenian victory over Persia, at the Battle of Marathon.

Our race ended in Athens at the original modern day olympic stadium. 4:25 min after crossing the starting line, I entered the stadium with crowds of people from all over the world cheering me on.

That's right victory, bitches.

...more photos to come.

SLC, LA, Boston...SLC

For nearly the last two years I have lived as a nomad, out of my backpack, suitcase, or my car. I've had amazing adventures, and met amazing people. I am so blessed. Over the summer, I made the decision to settle down for a bit and establish tiny, microscopic roots. I debated quite a bit about whether I would settle in Salt Lake, LA, or Boston. I also contemplated, first continuing my adventures in Hawaii and ending them in Central America. Since I am fairly indecisive, I decided to "let the chips fall where they may."

In August, the chips fell in Salt Lake. I am preparing to start working at Planned Parenthood next week.


Once completing my job in Los Angeles in August, I drove to Salt Lake. I was at most 2 hours out side of Los Angeles, when I received a call from the hospital I had been working at in LA. The assistant manager asked if I could return until the end of September. I agreed to come back, after I spent a week in Salt Lake.

I had a great time in Salt Lake. I spent most of my time with the girls.

When I returned LA I spent most of my time working and hanging out with my good friend Kris.

She is such a rock star!

During my time in LA, I had some days off. I could think of nothing more enjoyable, then to spend that time traveling. I packed my bags and few to my beloved Boston. There, I was able to spend time with my brother, my sister-in-law and my nieces and nephew.

Two days ago, I drove to Salt Lake. I am excited about my new life, although a bit apprehensive about settling down ;) I think about my new life here, constantly. This morning, I went for a run and in the midst of my anxiety, I had a realization...

I think I am going to like it here :)
...for now.

Vacaville, San Francisco and the Redwoods

Last week I had a few days off, so I decided to take a road trip up north. My friend Brandon lives in Vacaville, outside of San Francisco, and my friend Meg (from St Thomas) was visiting her sister in SF. I spent Friday with Brandon, and the rest of the weekend with Meg hiking in the Redwoods. It was a great weekend.
