My first blog post in AGES! Lots of photos from my summer of cycling in Munich, as well as details about my new bike and the harrowing tale of my first ever saddle sore. 
Green and yellow and orange and red…

Off on another mini-adventure! 
(That last pic is the view out our hotel room window!)
Füssen is pretty charming.

It feels like Autumn, so I’m knitting on Twitch right now! 
26km ride today past Nymphenburg, through Olympiapark, into the Englischer Garten Nord and all the way south to the city, through Marienplatz and the Altstadt to Sendlinger Tor and then home… Pretty much the greatest hits of Munich!
I’m not officially doing #frocktober this year since I didn’t bring many dresses with me to Germany. Still, I’ve managed a mini-Frocktober this week in Spain! Please consider donating to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund via my friend Alison Parker’s page.

“Royal con Queso” (lol) and patatas bravas and craft beer for our last night in Barcelona… 
La Sagrada Familia. The exterior is striking, but the interior is breathtaking. The most beautiful church I’ve ever been in. 
Happy birthday RT!! Hope you, Jack, and Roo have a great one…
Park Güell. Views over Barcelona, Gaudí architecture, trencadís mosaics, and lovely gardens!
“Möchten Sie Bänder kaufen?” Two little girls were selling friendship bracelets on the footpath. Who could say no to that?
Airport food. 
Hola Barcelona! What a lovely night. Palm trees, good Catalan wine, so much beautiful seafood, and the best steak we’ve had in a year!
How did I not know that Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal performed a song from Rent?! I was so incredibly lucky to get to see them perform it together at one of the first previews in London in May 1998, and again on the last day in October 1999. They both sound and look great.
I’ve been waiting for R.E.M.’s appearance on this podcast. Does not disappoint…
Had an absolute blast tonight presenting a workshop for 340+ women as part of the Grace Hopper Celebration Open Source Day with my colleague Jenna! Our session literally started with “What is AWS?” and ended an hour later with a full working CI/CD pipeline using Github Actions to deploy a container on Amazon ECS. WHIRLWIND! We are getting such lovely feedback from the attendees. Makes it all worthwhile.
Campfire-themed team building at @amazon. TIL you can roast marshmallows over a candle, but best to keep your unicorn onesie well away from the flame!

Quilting as high fashion! I hadn’t really thought about it, but a quilt really is a great encapsulation of the “America” theme for the night.
