Okay, so today's top five are the top five destinations to which I would travel if I could hop on a plane right now (assuming I find my passport....) and poke around for a week. These are in no particular order. I am currently taking all-expense-paid travel offers to any of the locations.

1. Greece

2. Iceland


3. Rome


4. Argentina
5. Barcelona

To spice things up a bit I'm going to feature a 'top five' of mine everyday...or at least I will shoot for everyday until I run out of interesting top fives. Lets kick things off today with my TOP FIVE FAVORITE MOVIES (number one is number one, but the remaining four are in no particular order):

1. The Departed

2. Chocolat

3. Ann of Green Gables/Ann of Avonlea

4. Harold and Maude

5. Kill Bill Vol. 1


Currently taking 'top five' suggestions.

Weekend Adventures, Part Un

Francis and I have had a few weekend adventures this month. We did a night hike of Cowles Mountain (the highest peak in San Diego) with our friends Peter and Gretchen...we only lost our way once. We rode our bikes downtown, hopped on the Coronado Ferry and took it across the bay to Coronado island where we cycled around the island and landed on the beach for a picnic. We had some homestyle fun too, trampolining, accordion-playing, and succulent planting. Many more adventures to come.
