Well, today is my birthday, so I thought I’d post a picture of me doing something I enjoy in a country I love: dune buggying it in Brazil!
The following was sent to me by a dear friend, and I’d like to repost:
Did you know that Feb. 19 is the “Day of the Explorer” according to the Birthday Book? Listen to this quote: “The tough and determined individuals born on February 19 must fearlessly explore their environment and ultimately follow their inquisitive instincts to far off worlds. ...The more fanciful side can manifest in a love of travel, adventure, romance…” That’s our Kris!
Sounds about right!
Adventure on to another year!

Every year for Valentine’s Day I like to send out a picture of “LOVE”.
This year’s photo is a heart-shaped puddle. I found it in either Belize or Guatemala, I can’t remember. According to the date-stamp, it was a travel day for me, so I’m not sure which side of the border I was on when it was taken. I do remember that the heart shape and reflecting sunlight caught my eye, and made me unload my backpack to get at my camera, since I decided back then that I wanted to photograph it for this precise post, so I hope you enjoy it! It only goes to show you…sometimes you find LOVE at the weirdest times and in the places you never imagined.
Check out my past year’s Valentine’s Day blogs:

Who doesn’t love something sweet?
This picture of a lovely heart-shaped cookie from the amazing Upper Crust Bakery in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood tasted as good as it looked. Our kitchen has been home to a LOT of delicious, gourmet meals made, not by me, but by my sweetie. Bringing back this cookie was the least I could do!
They say the way to the heart is through the stomach. I heartily agree!
Don’t forget to spread the love this Valentine’s Day!
