Good Riddance

 Hallstatt, Austria : Am Hallstattersee

Good riddance 2012, hello 2013. The past year wasn't what I would call a great year, but there were a few things here and there for which, on this last night of the year, I am grateful.

1. Seeing new places like Croatia and Puycelci and Hallstadt.

2. Finally returning to Austria and reconnecting with dear friends Christine, Hellmut, Daniella, and Sonja, and meeting their families. In fact, I would say our trip to Austria was the absolute highlight of 2012 for me.

3. Traveling to the States for a month and seeing friends and family, making some new friends, staying with good friends, and enjoying time in Flagstaff, Seattle, NYC, and DC.

4. Finding and moving into a fabulous new apartment.

5. Enjoying another year of new places and new adventures with Maya and Charlie.
