Year in Review: Top Travel Photos of 2015
Our not-so-normal flow: work intensely, save, and then take some time for extended personal travel, was disrupted in 2015 as we thoroughly combined work and downtime. This year’s work contract was structured very differently and forced allowed us to take sizeable chunks of time off. Although these times were unpaid, we were sometimes compensated with […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Sign Says
Outstanding topic for the Weekly Photo Challenge! We absolutely love funny signs from around the world. Sometimes the translations are baffling; other times they are downright hilarious. It just goes to show how important the job of translation and interpretation really is. So much can be lost in translation. This sign on the island of […]
