*clickety clack* *clickety clack* Her fingers moved like lightning at 4am. Our airline lady pressed enter and rolled her eyes as she very un-enthusiastically looked up at us. “Are you aware of the delay on the flight?" “Umm... no. We just got here.” “Due to bad weather in Arizona, you will miss your connection in… Continue reading I’m in Miami, Beach!
Yes, yes, I know I fail when it came to keeping up with the Weekly Round Up of our 365 Days Project but here we are! This past week we have been boatsitting/dogsitting in Rio Dulce, Guatemala, trying to take it easy after a crazy time in Berlin. But seriously, I never EVER suggest going… Continue reading Weekly Round Up – 365 Days Project: 64-70
“I know! Let’s go hike through the snow, up a mountain, to an abandoned spy building to see some graffiti!” I think I started turning a bit nutty while in Berlin. Who was this person and what did they do with warm weather Erica? Was I really willing to go through an impending snowstorm to… Continue reading Teufelsberg: A Graffiti Paradise at an Abandoned Spy Station
It is hard for me to justify heading out to a show on a weekend night. Coming from Austin, Texas, I thought I had heard it all. I had become incredibly jaded, I didn’t think there was anything new out there for me, and I felt dated in a sea of young twenty somethings when… Continue reading Diving For Sunken Treasure – Gypsy Punk in Berlin
Phallic. Fun. Fein. The Currywurst Museum. Nothing says a good time like a good ol’ sausage couch. I’m not sure exactly what we were thinking but it definitely wasn’t this. Currywurst is a cultural staple in Germany. With humble beginnings in Berlin, Herta Heuwer was able to attain curry, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce from British… Continue reading Phallic. Fun. Fein. The Currywurst Museum.
One of the reasons that I fell in love with Berlin so hard is that, when you wander, you can find views and surprises that will take your breath away. As we meandered around the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg area and the East Side Gallery, we found ourselves peeking at some really awesome scenery. The first is Shaun's… Continue reading Photo Friday: An HDR Peek into Berlin, Germany
We're stepping it up around here at Over Yonderlust. Today we have a spectacular photo essay guest post by the amazing Amy Moore of Everything-Everywhere. Enjoy the eye candy! While snowbirds flock to south Arizona each winter, winter in northern Arizona is considered to be the off-season. And for good reason! It can get very… Continue reading I Spy SNOW in Arizona?
I never knew I had such resilience about weather until we found ourselves eye-devouring the East Side Gallery at the Berlin Wall. The icy cold weather and snowfall couldn’t keep me away from the murals I had so desperately wanted to see for myself. I, my friends, am an art lover... apparently. 🙂 So a… Continue reading The East Side Gallery at the Berlin Wall
“Did you hear that The Hoff is confirmed to be at the East Side Gallery for the protest on Sunday?” Wait... WHAT?! It was music to my ears. I had heard time and time again that Germans had this weird fixation with David Hasselhoff and I was going to be able to experience it in… Continue reading Don’t Hassel the Hoff in Berlin

At Playa Linda, just north of the town of Ixtapa, Mexico, in the forest beside the dock, hidden away in the tangle of trees is the unexpected gem of a crocodile sanctuary. The area of Ixtapa was once home to many crocodiles. Before the government established the tourist town of Ixtapa, these ancient reptiles roamed… Continue reading Guest Post: Photo Essay – Crocodile Sanctuary in Ixtapa, Mexico
It is around this time that everyone starts suffering from winter fatigue. While I can't complain about the Austin winters, I still miss my time around the pool or even sitting under an umbrella in the Caribbean. One of the quintessential reminders of summer is seeing little kids play in water fountains. Enter the Crown… Continue reading Photo Friday: Summer in Chicago
Growling, clashing, punching, knock outs, and broken bones - No, I’m not talking about MMA - I’m talking about women’s rollerderby with the Lonestar Rollergirls (TXRD). Walking into the convention center, the roars of the fans gave me a wave of nostalgia. If there is one thing that you need to do in Austin, this… Continue reading Hometown Tourism: Banked Track Rollerderby with TXRD
Just like all that candy in the grocery store checkout lane, that Shaun always seems to sneak into the basket, the temptation hit me the second I saw it. Running through downtown Austin solely clad in our skivvies in the middle of February for a good cause? Within 10 impulsive seconds we were signed up… Continue reading Running in Our Bare Essentials: The Cupid’s Undie Run
