    Peleş Castle

    Hi Gram!I woke up and went to the gym early this morning to get my workout in before our train trip. I was still a little sore from the last workout, so I took it easy with everything. Back at the apartment, I stretched a little then got ready for the trip, packing a daypack…

    Shredded Chicken

    Hi Gram!I woke up early today and worked on a few designs before getting out of bed and heading to the gym with Amber. I did a lower body workout, then we headed home for breakfast with Bob. There’s something missing from my breakfast combo and I’m not sure what. It hasn’t tasted quite right…

  • Gotta See the Dentist

    Gotta See the Dentist

    Hi Gram!Today wasn’t too exciting, but it was a good day. I went to the gym and did some core exercises and the stair master. I’m still sore in my shoulders and legs, plus my neck has been hurting, so I figured I might as well make my abs sore too, right? I got home…

  • Climb!

    Climb!

    Hi Gram!I climbed a mountain today! Well, a small one anyway. There’s a hill in the center of town called Tampa. It has a network of hiking trails up and around it that the three of us checked out. But more on that later. I got up and did my puzzles, then headed to the…

    These Three Went to the Market

    Hi Gram!My legs are still sore from the gym a few days ago. We decided not to climb Tampa, the tall hill in town, until tomorrow. Instead, it was a slow morning of sleeping in a little, doing some yoga, and eating breakfast. Then we took a bus over to the market where we bought…

    Hi Gram!I’m really loving Brasov. The town is very walkable, the people are friendly, it has an old world charm, and we discover new things every day. I woke and did my puzzles and journal, then Amber and I headed to the gym. Today was upper body day and I felt like I got a…

  • Brunch Day

    Brunch Day

    Hi Gram!Some days I feel like a race car driver, speeding through my tasks. Some days I feel like a hamster, just spinning my wheel and getting nowhere. Today, I crossed the finish line in record time! I got up before my alarm, did my puzzles, and headed to the gym. It was leg day…

    Pickled Watermelon

    Hi Gram!Today was a roller coaster of a day! I woke up and felt good, did my journaling and puzzles, then Amber and I went to the gym. We joined today, then I did a good upper body workout. We walked home and had breakfast. With such a positive start to the day, I was…

    Romanian Walking Tour

    Hi Gram!What a fun day. I slept well and woke with my alarm. After doing my puzzles and journaling, I walked the building stairs and got ready for the day. Once Amber and Bob returned from their morning walk, we all had breakfast, cleaned up and headed out for our walking tour. Diana, our tour…

  • Hello, Braşov!

    Hello, Braşov!

    Hi Gram!I just woke up in Romania, the train rumbling along. I slept better than expected. Almost 9 hours have passed since I boarded the train. I converted the bed to seats and it reminds me of what a salesman once told my family about hide-a-bed couches – they’re not great beds and they’re not…
