[...] – NO, MDSW, Boone (no pics, lots of rain, some hiking, exceptionally relaxing), and Ocracoke. All these [...]

What a great photographic story of your trip to NO! Sounds like a fantastic time!

Definitely the trip that got under my skin was to Kenya. Simply put: it put ‘Africa in my Blood’ (to borrow the title from my favorite Jane Goodall book).

By the way–hi. :) I’m back and slowly easing back into things. More than blog comments to come!

Hi there. Found your site via Kat Coyle’s new site, and I’m glad I did!

I live near Vancouver BC, and honestly have to say that there are two cities so far that I really do long to return to. One is Quebec City, the other is Charleston, NC. I was there in ’98 (detoured due to a hurricane). I would return in a heartbeat.

I was in New Orleans a year ago for a conference – my biggest disappointment was not being able to really explore the place. We strolled through the French Quarter a few times, did the Mississippi boat tour and ate some great food! It did get under my skin and I want to go back. I live in central British Columbia and I’ve travelled in the states, but this place was really different.
The other places that have fed my soul are Vancouver (I go as often as I can) and a solo drive across Canada.

Paris! California! New Orleans! Almost everywhere I go gets under my skin! We haven’t traveled much in several years and it’s very rough on my Sagittarius nature.

Awesome photos Mel! To me, NO is a very textured and eccentric place and you really captured that well. Where to next?

Oh, I love your photos – you seem to spot similar things to me (like flaking paint on a door!). I love really really old cities, where you can walk down streets that have been there for hundreds and hundreds of years and where, if you are minded to look up and dream a little, you can see traces of lives lived all those years ago. My experience of places like these are all European really. Like Katrin, Berlin gets my vote, but for the more recent historical interest (plus family connections).

Oh no – I knew this would happen! You all are adding to my already very long list!

I love how atmospheric your photos are Mel! I know what you mean about traveling …some of my desire for new locations is satisfied by actual moves we’ve made (although that gets harder and more exhausting to do)…..however in terms of just places I want to explore more I have huge hankerings for old European cities at the moment….cobbled streets and old buildings…beautiful doorways …and lots and lots of history! My husband just got back from Paris (his first time there) and his enthusiasm for the place has rubbed off on the rest of the family!
Our next adventure (after we have relocated to our house in Massachusetts) is a trip to Montreal in August….I’m very excited about that!
