Last summer we stayed at the Stanley Hotel up in Estes Park, Colorado. They Stanley is the hotel that gave Stephen King the idea for “the Shining”. The hotel supposedly has several ghosts, but we didn’t have anything so much as the pipes creak while we were there. We did see a herd of Elk on the lawn though. It is a beautiful hotel, which is the only reason I would consider going back.

Anyone who knew me would never guess that I would say it wasn’t worth it, but if you really love shoes, then it is painful to spend $500 on a beautiful pair only to be faced with the cruel reality that the entire time you are wearing them they are at risk from scuff marks, water, dirt,gum,and all sorts of horrible things found on sidewalks and streets. Unless buying a pair of Manolo’s isn’t a budgetary stretch for you, and you can own tons of pairs, it is too much stress to spend the entire time you are wearing them worried about ruining them :-)
I recently traveled to Greece, and loved it. Thankfully, I was able to stay with some friends that I had gone to school with in the U.S. who are originally from Greece, so they were able to show me around the city and translate for me. I really don’t know what I would have done otherwise! I know how to speak several languages, but the greek alphabet and words are not really intuitive in the same manner that french,italian, or spanish tend to be.
