Posted on August 15, 2007 by dichroic

Posted on August 13, 2007 by dichroic

Yesterday I got to visit my friend Squirrel (frequent commenter over at Avontuur, but I don’t think she has a blog) in Rotterdam. I’ve written about it over there, so I won’t duplicate the story both places. I’d met her … Continue reading →

Praguebound

Posted on August 2, 2007 by dichroic
