... and other adventures in shopping While Steven thoroughly enjoys the meat here (and is happy to tell everyone about how good and inexpensive it is – It is really good and really cheap ), other food items can be a bit more difficult. For instance, if you are a vegetarian and are tired of …

Just a Quiet Weekend
Friday night, Sue and I went out to a restaurant that we thought was Indian food, but really turned out to be mostly Thai. The food was good, but not what we expected (I guess I hadn't really thought about it, because I was surprised when I read this). We had tried to get reservations …
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
Happy New Year everyone. Our return from Ushuaia was uneventful and we have settled back into our temporary home in Buenos Aires. The couple of weeks around Christmas and New Year have not been very busy for work but I am gearing up for all the end of year stuff that needs to be done …
It’s Been a While Since We Posted
"Life is what happens to us when we are making other plans." John Lennon Yes, life marches on and derails our plans to write at least one blog a week, but we are here now. Our time in the U.S. is drawing to a close and we have been very lackadaisical about writing a blog. …

Our Penultimate and Last Weekends in Valencia
This is our last week in Valencia before we head back to the US for the Summer and Fall.
A weekend in Granada
We are slackers. We haven’t written a blog since New Year's. Sorry. We didn’t do very much the weekend before last. A short – 8 mile – death march to the beach and back, watching American football and generally being lazy. Last weekend we made up for it. We had a three-day weekend because my …
Happy New Year and Welcome to 2024
Happy New Year to everyone, we hope that 2024 is a healthy, happy, and eventful year for all of you (the last one only for those who are like us and like their years eventful). We started the New Year’s weekend on Saturday by marching our way all the way across Paris to a museum …
Just a Little Bit of Walking
Valencia is where the red pin is I thought it might make sense to provide a few maps that will give everyone an idea of where we are that way when we discuss distances, places etc, it will make sense. As Sue said in her last post we are staying for the next six months …
Our final few days in Berlin
Wednesday morning, we signed up for a driving tour that followed the outline of the Berlin Wall, in a Trabant! For those of you who are not car buffs, the Trabant was the standard car in the GDR from the early 1960s until reunification. Over that period, the car basically did not change. The one …
