Our trip in a nutshell, and the best birthday gift I've ever received.
All in On the Road
Iceland
Picture this: cliffs dotted with hundreds of puffins at Dyrholay, surrounded by black sand beaches and ocean as far as the eye can see.
Quebec City
A long, but entertaining, bus ride took us an hour out of town to see the Montmorency Falls, but frankly I was more into the view of the Saint Lawrence river and the nearby ice cream parlour.
Buenos Aires
Believe it or not we did about 6 weeks worth of tango lessons (a gift). We were way too embarrassed to unleash our skills on the unsuspecting locals, but it made us appreciate the intricacies of what we saw.
Costa Rica
One of the most exhilarating moments of my life: whipping through the air, hundreds of feet above the Monteverde rainforest canopy with only a string ahead that disappears into the white mist.
Paris
It felt as though we barely scratched the surface of the many distinct cities that make up Paris, from historic to gritty to opulent. We’ll have to return soon with more time and better french skills.
Miami and surrounds
We had low expectations of Florida, home of the world’s retirees, but Miami definitely showed us a good, ol' time.
Dog Sledding in Algonquin
The reason we braved the cold was dogsledding (and our anniversary), which was pretty fantastic. I imagined we’d be sitting back and letting our guide do all the work, but not so. We each operated our own sled with 6 fuzzy, and slightly manic dogs dying to run across fields of ice.
Weekend: New York I
Our four short days were filled to the brim with deliciousness
