best of 2013

In no particular order, some of my favorite photos from the last year from a bunch of places: Germany, Sardinia, Prague, Paris x 2, Stone Harbor, NYC, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Gran Canaria.

barcelona I

My mom came to visit me last week, and after the first day in Frankfurt we jetted over to Barcelona to see about catching some sunshine. We got poured one for two of our three days there, but the first afternoon was pretty stellar.

gran canaria: taurito

Like I said before, there are worse places to be in the middle of winter than at a beach resort where it's 20 degrees Celsius.

gran canaria: the interior

As built-up as Gran Canaria's coast is, the interior is still rough and beautiful. We drove up from Maspalomas (which reminded me of Florida, not in a good way), admired Tejeda, where it was frigid!, and had fantastic tapas in the late afternoon in Mogán before making our way back down to the coast at Taurito, where we discovered that we'd booked ourselves into an all-inclusive resort. Gran Canaria vacation: nothing if not surprising.
