This month I headed back to the States for a three-week trip — and it ended up being a much busier experience than I expected. I based on my new home base of the North Shore of Massachusetts, and traveled all over in the process.
Three little trips — Portland, Ottawa, and Scottsdale — made it quite a busy month, and that wasn’t all. As soon as I flew back to Prague, I was off again, to the south of Italy!
It was quite a lot, and I neglected my work in the process (see how there are no new posts or books read in this post) — but that’s okay. I clearly needed this quality time with my loved ones.
Let’s take a look at the month!

Highlights
A bit of sightseeing in and around Prague. We visited the city of MÄ›lnÃk, which has a nice town square (which they were outfitting in Christmas lights for a movie!), a castle overlooking the rivers, and their own wine.
MÄ›lnÃk is special because it’s Lewis and Murray’s hometown, as far as we know. They were left in a box outside a vet’s office in MÄ›lnÃk on a rainy day.
Which sounds so sad — until you realize they were well fed and socialized, and left in a place where they would be safe (most shelters are kill shelters here). Their first family clearly loved them a lot, and I will always be grateful for how well they cared for them.
Lots of great quality time at home in Massachusetts. This trip was to spend time with family and friends, as well as enjoy one of the better weather months of the year in New England.
I got to spend a lot of time with my parents and my aunt and uncle as well, and drove up and down the North Shore exploring the different towns. My dad is now based in Beverly, and it’s been nice to spend time exploring the town, especially in the summer.
I also drove past my childhood home for the first time since it was sold…
