Well, if there's one thing there's no shortage of in Savannahโbesides trees and boozeโit's picture perfect squares. ๐ณ Every other block there's another one. And another one. And they're ALL strikingly gorgeous. ๐คฉ โฃ โฃ This is Forsyth Park, one of the more well-known green spaces in downtown Savannah. And the fountain is over 150 years old. โฒ Sadly, however, it was actually purchased from a catalogue and is not actually an original. ๐คทโโ๏ธโฃ โฃ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ท๐ถ ๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐'๐๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ฎ๐ต! ๐ธDid you have a favorite square?

I asked how much it was to get to our hotel ahead of time and the guy told me heโd use a meter, but I think it was the fastest meter known to man. I later learned I told the hotel the wrong time (an hour later) and the cab waited for us. because later, when my dad needed a break for his back, I ventured out in the immediate hotel area and checked a couple more interesting Instagrammable Baltic spots off my list. We spent a lot of time exploring Uzupis, a strange little neighborhood on the outskirts of Old Town.

No undergrowth, but lots and lots of moss on the forest floors that made it look like you could just crawl up and take a comfy nap under the canopies. Iโd later learn this portion of town was Moscow Suburb, home to Rigaโs Jewish ghetto. I went outside for a late night smoke and some cold air and ran into one of our hotelโs drunk soldiers. He said he wished his kids grew up in DODDs schools like me and Jeff, and that he hoped to be able to take them around Europe once they were old enough to travel longer distances.

Iโd only been home from a conference in Austin for two days and, in that time, I went to work, packed, took a kitty to an emergency vet appointment, took myself to urgent care for bronchitis, picked up a car from the shop, and celebrated my ninth wedding anniversary. The second leg to Helsinki was a pretty quick three and a half hours. Our hotel was nice and, since my dad didnโt sleep on either flight, we opted to stay in for the evening and cater to jet lag. We found our transfer to Old Town Tallinn, dropped our stuff off, and took a wander around the area.
Itโs heee-re! The Savannah/Charleston photo editing has begun and I got some real lookers. ๐ โข Savannah itself is absolutely gorgeous, โฅ๏ธ of course, but I had a total blast photographing Bonaventure Cemetery. ๐ธ This is WAY in the back by visitorโs parking. And the morning light was JUST right! ๐ โข Iโm a total early bird.

I imagine your average, not-completely-travel-obsessed individual isnโt keeping track of which countries are currently open to Americans and what their restrictions are like Iโve been. Iโve found Kayakโs International Restrictions page to be a solid resource for cursory Covid travel research. No negative Covid tests are required for entry, but you do need to complete this quick health questionnaire and you can potentially get screened on your way in. But overall, Iโd actually say that Mexico was far more diligent in their Covid protocols than what Iโve observed in any number of cities across the United States.
Happy Saturday! Right now, I'm so excited about something new I'm cooking up for you. ๐ I've just spent a long weekend in Savannah and Charleston, and after a little desperately needed rest after my return, I'm feeling super inspired editing my photos. ๐ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐โ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐?โฃ โฃ We found this twisted tree "tendril" in our own backyard at some Maryland state park or other, ๐ณ but get ready for some SUPER cool tree shots from Savannah and Charleston!

This old Alaska photo just reminds me of one of those days where you want to crawl under a duvet and binge some random Netflix marathon. Cloudy, chilly... CALM. ๐โฃ โฃ Today, you'll find me mostly RELAXING. It's been an intense few weeks in an overall crazy year, and I just got back from another fun-filled road trip adventure. As someone living with a chronic autoimmune disorder, my body periodically tells me when enough is enough. Whether I want it to or not. ๐โโ๏ธโฃ โฃ I spent most of my thirties overseeing high-performing, award-winning creative teams. I usually worked 60 hours a week. Even 100 hours in a single week once. ๐ฉโ๐ป I was taking ELEVEN daily medications to manage my autoimmune disorder at one point. And I was only resting when my body had reached its absolute limits, like urgent care appointments where I was given steroid treatments and a doctor's note to take time off LITERALLY. ๐ (This seemed to be my only acceptable excuse to NOT work.) And it was really just so I could go back to work more hours later, anyway. Which ALWAYS backfired, by the way. It was insanity. Truly.โฃ โฃ But now I'm in my forties. I'm trying to be kinder to myself, trying to take better care of myself physically and mentally, and working to redefine what it means to be successful. ๐คทโโ๏ธ (This last one is NOT an easy task for an independent woman whose entire existenceโaside from my #AdventurePartnerForLife, rescue kitties, and travelโwas centered around the concepts of financial/career success.) It's a work in progress. Always. ๐โฃ โฃ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ? ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐ ? ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด (๐น๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฒ), ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด?โฃ โฃ #ak #alaskalife #alaska #alaskanadventures #glacier #mountaineering #mountainporn #alpine #wildernessbabes #wilderness_culture #alpinebabes #optoutside #getoutstayout #adventureculture #thegreatoutdoors #simplyadventure #theoutbound #greettheoutdoors #ourcamplife #choosemountains #stayandwander #rei1440project #staywild #lovethewild #mountaingirls #radgirlslife #sharingalaska #keepitwild #getoutside
