Breaks are awesome

I have been up to nothing real important over winter break, and I can't complain. Took a walk up into the woods behind my house yesterday. London was cool, but I definitely prefer not living in a city. Not too fond of Syracuse, either.

One more from my travels

When we arrived at Newark from London, those of us trying to get to Syracuse found both each other and that our plane was canceled that evening. We spent the night in a nearby hotel after booking flights for the next morning (that flight was further delayed). We somehow spent $160 on room service.

From the last week or so

Some pictures from the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. I did a photo story on a German couple from Bavaria that run a German wooden toy stand at the festival. They live up in Edinburgh and come down to London for the month-and-a-half-long event every year.
