Winter Wonderland

I woke up this morning to these trees slowling drorping their way closer and closer to my house.

I woke up this morning to these trees slowling drooping their way closer and closer to my house.

Some didn’t stand a chance.

We were all a little worried that we would be having a green Christmas, but mother Nature pulled through. Waking up to all this amazing snow, it would be a complete waste to go to school and not enjoy it. Snow day for me! Plus now that I finally got rid of that old 3GS I’m not as embarrassed to post pictures now that I’ve upgraded to a much better camera quality of the iPhone 4.

This morning I woke to a pale blue sky, a cool desert breeze and red sand stretching as far as my little eyes could see.

For a moment, between sleep and the new day, I thought I was dreaming. But my mind came around to my thin mattress on the still-warm sand and the camels plodding past.

Our night in the Bedouin style camp was, in equal parts, peaceful and exciting, delivering little bursts of happiness into my travel-soothed soul.

After a three hour safari on the back of a scrappy Hilux ute (during which we stopped to climb sand dunes, stone bridges and into canyons) we arrived to a coal-cooked meal of vegetables, lamb kofta and rice. The Bedouin men sat by the fire playing a mixture of local and foreign tunes on their strings; their clear, strong voices bouncing from the rocky hills that lay beyond…

Just looking at these pictures, the quality makes me want to scream. Most of my pictures are taken off my terrible iPhone 3 camera because I was too poor and lazy to buy anything else. But terrible pictures no more! I just bought this super sweet Sony Nex camera that I’ve ordered and sent to my aunt’s place. Now I just have to wait a few more weeks for my family to come down and bring it to me. Oh the anticipation is KILLING me!! Goodbye iPhone 3.

Throwback Thursday : New York City

$This is the second time going to the Cake Boss pastry store, so we knew what to expect of the line. \of course on tv, the shop always has people inside, but never an enormous amount. That's not true though. You're looking at about a 1 hour and a half wait to get in to the shop, but let me tell you, it's worth it. Oh yeah, every second of waiting in the scorching heat.$

What’s my name again?

Funny story about this truck. Two days before coming to NYC I was watching one of my favourite tv shows Eat St. and they were showing this killer grilled cheese truck driving around NYC. Trying not to salivate all over the couch I thought ” Man we need to find this truck.” I managed to stalk them down through twitter and we chased it through all of the big city. The reward was pricless.

I’ve always “heard” about central park. I needed too see it to believe it. All that talk about how beautiful it is and blah blah. I mean living in Canada nothing can compare to it’s beauty, but just this one shot really captures what I think central park is all about. In this huge city of 8.3 million people, sits this ginormous park. It’s beautiful and so peaceful here, you ALMOST forget that you’re in NYC. Except you can still hear the honking of taxis in the background. My mom and I went for a stroll around the park and it was surprisingly empty, it was absolutely beautiful

Street fair bargains

And that’s mah sista

It’s throwback Thursday! Well I guess its technically Friday now… but whatever. I went on a trip to New York City for my mom’s birthday last year. Here’s a few pictures from our trip!
