Earlier this month, Dani and I took a long weekend in Lisbon. It was the first time either of us visited this beautiful city and we had a genuinely lovely time.
A few years back, l saw a blog post about visiting Malta and it quickly jumped up on my list of places I wanted to visit. Our friend Antionette told us about a 50k ultra race on the Maltese island of Gozo and that was all it took to get Dani on board for the trip. I swear we do take vacations other than just race-cations.
Rome had always been one of those places I've longed to see. The history and the Romance of the city is something I've wanted to experience first hand since I first learned about the ancient structures in school. So for my first birthday living abroad, it was an easy choice for a place to visit.
When Dani signed up for the Rock 'n' Roll half marathon in Liverpool, I said "sure, sounds fun! I've never been to England.". I think at that point all I knew about the city was that it was in England and it's where the Beatles came from. Turns out, it's a really awesome place to visit.
Dani and I have been talking about going to Disneyland Paris for what seems like forever. Well, certainly since they first announced the Run Disney event there. When we talked about going, the idea of us living a few hours away wasn't even conceivable.
After a couple months of living in Amsterdam, Dani and I finally took our first touristy trip out of the city. We visited the Kuekenhof Gardens in the town of Lisse. The gardens are only open for a couple months in the spring each year.
