Just for fun, here’s a few pics from my last trip to Italy circa 2004. All pics taken with my point and shoot camera.




 

John Sharpe - Laura, i envy you. Italy, Gene Higa, and Jose Villa…win, win, and win.

Laura - John, I have been wanting to do a workshop forever, and I thought this would be the perfect one! Jose Villa hosts another workshop in Mexico that I really wanted to attend, but it was sold out by the time I heard about it. Maybe next year!

Katie - Looks like we are the least exotic stop in your travels. ;-)

denise karis - it’s ok to be jealous, right?

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

I hope everyone is enjoying this AMAZING Memorial Day Weekend! I spent today on the boat. Tomorrow BBQ’ing with friends + family. Life is good!

Sean - That is an incredible image, Laura! Hope you had an amazing weekend!

CIAO, BULGARIA + GREECE

Well, my vacation is officially ALMOST over. I’m leaving bright and early tomorrow at 8:00am (Sofia time) and will arrive in Minneapolis 20 short hours later! For those of you that emailed or called during the past three weeks- THANKS so much for your patience! :-) I will be back in the “office” on Thursday if will get back to everyone as soon as possible!

Photos coming soon as well! I had such an amazing time traveling all over Bulgaria and Greece and I can’t wait to share some of my favorite moments!!

BIKING

I love running and am constantly training! But a recent shin injury has been giving me trouble and my doctor (aka BFF/4th year med student) advised me not to run for at least two weeks- a major bummer for someone (crazy) like me who feels that no day is complete without a sweat-inducing, heart-pounding, 3-6 miler!

So, as advised by my doc, I decided that I would take up biking for the next 2 weeks. I guess this injury is a blessing in disguise, because I never realized how much fun it is to bike around the city! Plus, the weather was just so perfect tonight- one of those amazing nights that actually makes you glad to live in Minnesota! I started at home, biked through Northeast, crossed the river to downtown, headed west to the U (sort of) and back north towards home. It was fabulous and I got a great workout. Plus, I got to really take in all of the locations I usually zip past in my car. I actually discovered 3 or 4 places that would be amazing for photo shoots!

Here was my 10 mile route tonight: I think I’ll take a new route each night!
