Begin at the beginning.

I'm Marie Elizabeth, welcome to my new blog.

Over the last 5 years I've been lucky enough to travel to some great locations, visit friends, meet new folks, learn tons about culture, and snap of few shots of the fabulous views. No matter where I end up, I find something interesting to share. My last lengthy trip, I sent weekly email updates. These were summaries of my experiences and encounters. Some of them were hilarious and some more thought provoking (the experiences, not the summaries). Unfortunately, I didn't save these mini-story hours and I really regret it .

So, I decided I would do a much better job at keeping track of travels and trips (even around town). I bought a new camera (Nikon D5000) and expect there will be a very humorous learning curve involved as I shoot some new locals. Oh, and I expect to include some normal life stories, but if that's not of interest to you, fell free to skip ahead to the photos.

This is the first entry on a brand new blog...give me some time to figure this all out and then I hope to get some fun stuff up and running. Welcome!
