We were very busy this weekend, and what stands out to me is that we weren’t really doing tourist stuff, we were just enjoying a city where we are temporary residents. The required photo of the Instagram sign in the park Friday night Sue made arrangements to meet a friend from school – Teresa – …

Field Trip to Tonalá
Announcement: yes we have power! It was on when we returned from our "vacation from our vacation," as our Tequila tour guide put it. OK, now onto our regularly scheduled program. The best days at school are the days you don't go to class! Every Wednesday is field trip day at IMAC (my Spanish school). …
Tequila Tour
Friday started out like a normal workday. Sue went to school and I sat down to work. Everything was fine until our cleaner noticed that the lights had gone out. I did not have the lights on and was working with my laptop, so I didn’t notice that the power was out. We tried various …
A relaxing weekend
Our drinks at De La O We started our weekend on Friday night by walking over to a bar called De La O Cantina. It is a pretty hip place with interesting drinks and tacos. One of the challenges we have found is that many of the places that we are planning visit do not …
Our First Weekend
I didn’t realize that it has been nearly a month since I wrote a post. Many thanks to Sue for keeping everyone posted on our plans and travels. This is our first weekend in Guadalajara so we figured we should pack it full. Friday night we decided to go out to eat, and quickly settled …
The S & S Lemonade Company
We are working hard to make lemonade from the lemons we have been given. Last week, we had the next six months all planned. One week in Barcelona, three months in Fez, a month and a half in Rome and then a couple of weeks in Amsterdam. Then COVID reared its ugly head again and …
Back in the US, Back in the US, Back in the US…not USSR
I know that I missed our last blog post on Sunday and as penance, Sue is making me write this one. The past week has been pretty quiet. Last Friday morning, we flew from Nice to Paris, and despite our intention of going into the city for the afternoon, we ended up just sitting around …

Au revoir Nice (pour l’instant)
Today is our last full day in Nice. I know, you're feeling really sorry for us right now. Your heart will bleed when you realize we are toying with the idea of taking the train into Paris tomorrow once we land at De Gaulle. Our flight arrives at 11:15 a.m. and we don't fly out …
Our last weekend in Nice
Friday was yet another beautiful day on the French Riviera. We took an excursion to another island just off of Cannes. This one is called St.-Honorat and is the home to a monastery and Cistercian monks. They make (and sell) wine and one a month they offer a tour and wine tasting. To get there, …
Wanderings and musings
Oh Covid. Aren't we all sick (no pun intended) of you!?!?!?! We have been traveling, so we're clearly not in the overly fearful category of Covid-living, but we're also vaccinated and respect the wishes of those around us. We wear masks on public transportation and in stores (and I don't mean chin straps), but we …
