2012 in Instagram

I don’t know if I’ll still be using Instagram in 2013, but I sure used the heck out of it in 2012! Here’s a look back at the year that was via the 10 most liked photos on my Instagram feed.

I don’t blog as much about daily life in Amsterdam as I should. I think that means I’ve finally started to settle in and take the ordinary things as, well, ordinary (as opposed to when I first moved here and everything was new). But I do post glimpses of everyday life in the ‘Dam on Instagram.

This year, 4 out of my 10 most liked photos were of Amsterdam–one for each of the four seasons, actually!

Spring: Blue skies over canal houses

Summer: Villas beside Vondelpark

Fall: Our soon-to-be street

Winter: Early sunset on the canals

Instagram was also where I chronicled my wanderlust. These on-the-fly snapshots of some of the places I’ve been this year got quite a few likes.

Slovenia in Instagram

Buon giorno from Venice, where Marlon and Pete, Mimi’s husband, are engaged in the second phase of their Great Farting Battle (a.k.a. Ututan Wars). How romantic! 

I kid, I kid. After five exhausting but fulfilling days on the road with the Glee Club, we’re happy to finally enjoy couple time. Venice is the perfect city for that.
I will miss Slovenia though; I was thoroughly charmed by it. There’s a lot to write about, but that will have to wait until I get home. For now, let me share a few glimpses via Instagram. 
Flying into Slovenia via the Alps; public art in the center of Ljubljana; sunset at our hostel in Maribor; waiting for the European Grand Prix to begin; reflections at Lake Bled; sunset at Koper harbor.
I wasn’t too keen on Instagram, but the prospect of being away for so long finally pushed me into it. Follow me, currystrumpet—I may have come late to the party, but I bring goodies with me!
