Brunch
My wonderful friends & I went out to SRV, my favorite restaurant in South End, for brunch. We were celebrating belated birthdays & my recent graduation.

Turks & Caicos: Day 1
My flight to Turks & Caicos landed a day earlier than my parents’, so I wandered around to the beautiful Grace Bay beach by myself. I stopped by the Flamingo Café for some delicious cracked conch & a mango daiquiri.
My last & final semester in my public health program begins TODAY & I’m honestly beside myself. How did this break go by so quickly?! What have I even been doing? This time last year I was still high off my solo-Euro trip to Edinburgh & Paris…you know, doing my whole eat, laugh, eat journey, mask-less without a care in the world. How did 2020 manage to feel like it was 3 years long, but 2021 seems to be going by exponentially faster? Can the person taking earth on a joy ride please slow down? Why are we going so fast, fam? We’re approaching our first pandemic anniversary way too quickly.
Those of us with the luxury & privilege to work safely from home are far too familiar with the flour shortage/PANIK in April 2020. Some of us dabbled in making bread or baking cookies, and some of us gave up on trying to perfect sourdough. If you didn’t go through a bready phase in lockdown, now’s your chance.

May I introduce you to my latest baking obsession or shall I say, my bagelmania?

Sea Day: Formal Night
Before our next stop, we had an at sea day as we were sailing back for mainland Spain. It was formal night! My parents & their friends had a really strange obsession with exclusively eating at the Japanese restaurant on the cruise, so you’ll see a lot of sushi pictures at the end of our trips. However, we actually had Italian food one night at the Italian restaurant.
Spain: Day 3
Our next stop in the Canary Islands was Arrecife, Lanzarote. It’s actually so close to Morroco & the closest I’ve ever been to the African continent! We didn’t have enough time to book a tour to the national park, so we just stuck with touring the history museum & shopping. Such a shame though. I’m all about national parks. Until next time, Lanzarote!
