I am in the midst of a 10 week long European backpacking adventure, and at the moment, I am in Krakow, Poland. Here are a few highlights so far:
Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona
Having breakfast with some new friends I met at the hotel in Munich.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria’s Neuschwanstein Castle (supposedly the same caste that inspired Walt Disney’s Cinderella Castle).
Passed out on the train to Prague.
Acting like a bunhead at Prague Castle
Recreating the statue’s pose with my traveling buddy Cyril Mitilian (POB).
A house in Prague that’s just my size!
This advertisement for the Museum of Communism in Prague is no joke!
Traditional Polish food in Krakow.
Sunrise from the train in Poland.
Off to another city now. More from Europe later!

Not that I’ve been missed! So many wonderful contributors have so much interesting stuff to post.
I’m all done with Camelot.Though I have had enough of playing a tambourine on a rock, the tour continues, Starring Lou Diamond Phillips and many of my good friends from the last leg, so if it comes to your city, go see!
I’m trying to get back into real life after spending so much of the last two years on tour. I miss my Camelot friends so much. I took a quick trip to Los Angeles this weekend to see the beautiful and very talented Rachel York debut her cabaret. Rachel was our beautiful Guenevere. Monica, Rachel and I were a terrible trio on tour. (and shouldn’t my name somehow be Phoebe?)
Here’s me, Monica and Rachel after her show!She was amazing.
Right after the tour my Auntie and I took an amazing vacation to Vancouver and took a 7 day cruise to Alaska. It was unbelievable. And I took hundreds of pictures, but I’ll spare you. Here are a few highlights.
The marina from the Stanley park seawall in Vancouver.
We took a helicopter and walked on a glacier. Here’s a tiny leaf frozen in the beautiful blue ice
Calving glacier in Glacier bay. We got so close, and it was one of the most amazing days.
One more glacier bay picture. I highly recommend a trip to Alaska- I want to go back and explore more. This was dream trip for my Auntie (surrogate mom) and myself.
And now… Back to the grind! Went to a few auditions and there were 300 girls there! Help!

Mom and I are on the Tarmac waiting to take off for our three night trip to the blue lagoon in Iceland. They said it will be an hour before we can take off. Boo. Well, it will be nice to hit the hot< water after all the time in the little airplane seat. Can’t wait!

I couldn’t resist sharing this with you all. On my recent vacation, my brother Brian showed me his moves on the sail boat and again at a barbeque.
What do you all think? Destined for ABT like his brother?

Hello all.
I am writing you from a very tropical airport cafe in Belize City, Belize as I make my departure back to reality… no wait, New York. I have been ‘unwinding’ and ‘decompressing’ after a very busy three months of performances. This is my first time to Belize and what a visit it was. The sole reason being my father’s 60 birthday celebration, it also served as my annual ‘baking in the sun’ ‘relax my body after Met season’ vacation. I spent the whole time with my family, Mom, Dad, brother Brian, and me.
The vacation started on a 49 foot Catamarian, which is a sail boat complete with captain and first mate attending to our every whim. We sailed all around the waters of Belize, for five days, snorkeling, sunning, eating and drinking. It was bliss. The dolphins, stars, fish, barrier reef, and islands were stunning as we made our way through its Cayes.
If that wasn’t enough for us, we then spent the rest of the time in an amazing resort on the island of San Pedro, called the Victoria House. Sea side, we spent more time in the sun napping, with no televisions, no radios, no internet-e mail. Its amazing what you get caught up in while ‘in the mode’, especially in NYC. I find a love/hate relationship with New York more and more. Its the beating heart of my profession, which I wouldn’t change, but the need to get away for pure sanity is ever present.
Nevertheless, 10 days came and went, and here I am sipping my last beer as I board my flight. I do feel rejuvinated though, ready to take on my new tasks at hand. One of them being my up coming trip to Argentina to dance with Paloma Herrera and the Teatro Colon. I will dance Paquita and Raymonda, heavy work if I might say so, but a trip down there with that company will be fascinating. More to come on that.
So here are a few pics of my trip, me in vacation mode. My once a year unwinding….
A dive into the aqua colors of Belize
The tame kind of shark… if there is one.
Introducing my brother Brian, enjoying the wind
A total sucker for sunsets

Point taken…
The grounds at the Victoria House. One of those was my little hut.
Just me and my Mojito
