"Carmichael's" - Louisville, Kentucky, October 2010

I ended up in Louisville, Kentucky for the National College Convention in October 2010. At the time, I was Arts Editor for The Reflector – our university's newspaper. 

One night, we left our busy seminar-filled days behind and wandered to the "Highlands"- a hip neighborhood with cafes and restaurants just to my taste. 

We walked into this cosy little bookshop that was next to a place called Ramsi's Cafe  on the World.  I loved it so much – not to mention the architecture is so old and beautiful – that I wanted it memorized.

Carmichael's is known as Louisville's oldest independent  bookstore.

How cool is that?

"Jumping Bus" - London, England, August 2012

The story behind this stale photo is more of an inside joke that I solely found amusing at the time. My boyfriend and I were at the top of Tower Bridge in London and, in there, they had this fabulous little exhibition on past Olympics and interesting and often humorous facts about the Tower Bridge. 

This one was my favourite! I can't stop laughing at the little bus jumping the opening Bridge!

"Guinness Factory" - Dublin, Ireland, August 2012

Oh Dublin, you have my heart. I absolutely loved Dublin. I would go back in a heartbeat. While there, I went to the Guinness Storehouse (duh!) – the highest building in Dublin, believe it or not, which is shaped like a pint of Guinness. 
While the factory tour was more of a museum experience (you don't really get access to the ACTUAL beer making process which was kind of a bummer), you DO get a free PINT of Guinness at the Gravity Bar located at the very top of the Storehouse offering panoramic views of the city. It was like working your way up to Guinness drinking heaven.
