Snoop: New York and Chicago

Posted onAugust 23, 2017April 22, 2018AuthorKBKLeave a comment

We could not possibly have had a better time. 6 shows in 5 days, vegan dim sum and black & white cookies galore. The photos speak for themselves: I got to talk to THE Gavin Creel! King George was excellent! Dear Evan Hansen! I am obsessed. And, I got to meet Jennifer Laura Thompson! Come Read More …

Snoop: Romania

Posted onJuly 14, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Romania is a little bit different than what I expected. I thought it was going to be more Slavic, but, our guide told us that they were “an island of Latinity in a Slavic Sea.” Hearing the language spoken, there were definite similarities to Italian, so, I could pick up words and phrases here and Read More …

Snoop: Bulgaria

Posted onJuly 3, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Bulgaria is beautiful. I love the people and the scenery. The drivers are still rowdy, however I believe them to be more cautious than in the rest of the Balkans. I did not like the food as much in Bulgaria as I did in the rest of the Balkans. The cities themselves did not seem Read More …

Snoop: Serbia

Posted onJune 30, 2016July 13, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Serbia has at least one great hotel in Nis. Since we were only there for one night, that was basically all we saw. For our one outdoor excursion, we went to see the Tower of Skulls. I would only recommend going if you are staying right near it, as most of the so called tower Read More …

Snoop: Macedonia

Posted onJune 29, 2016July 13, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Macedonia looks just like Albania. The people aren’t as nice, but luckily, there is some variety to the food to make up for it. The people drive like maniacs, yet I have not seen any accidents. My favorite part of Macedonia was the beautiful boat ride we took on our only day in Ohrid. I Read More …

Snoop: Albania

Posted onJune 25, 2016July 13, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Albania is my favorite country of the Balkans. The people are as nice as they can be and the natural beauty is unparalleled. Granted, a large town there is considered between five and ten buildings and you can drive for half an hour before happening upon one of these cities. While Albania is the least Read More …

Snoop: Peru

Posted onMarch 12, 2016May 29, 2016AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

Peru is much different than what I had expected. It seems to be a cross between Costa Rica, India, and Indonesia. The people there are nice and accommodating like in Indonesia. The country itself reminds me of Costa Rica, with the same style of buildings and almost the same type of scenery. Peru has the Read More …

Snoop: My mom is so busted

Posted onOctober 25, 2015May 10, 2016AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

Mom talked about how important the Grand Canyon was, but, do you know the REAL reason why we drove all the way to Phoenix instead of going back to Las Vegas? In a word: Tarbell’s Excellent choice, Mom.

Snoop: The Grand Canyon

Posted onOctober 20, 2015May 10, 2016AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

They definitely named the Grand Canyon correctly. I can’t even say anything that fits this stunning place. “The wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself. The resources of the graphic art are taxed beyond their powers in attempting to portray its features. Language and illustration Read More …

Snoop: Newport, Oregon

Posted onAugust 19, 2015May 10, 2016AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

We stayed in the coolest hotel ever for the night. It was a book themed hotel. Each room paid homage to a different author, like Mark Twain or James Steinbeck. We got to stay in the Jules Verne room. It was decorated like a submarine. It had a semi-frightening squid tentacle sticking out of the Read More …
