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 …
Settling in to GDL
As my wise friend Sally just said, "You have to be adaptable to do what you're doing." She's so right! As you know, Guadalajara was our consolation prize after Morocco shut down and we really didn't know what to expect. Our first few days left us wondering if we had made a good choice. We …
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 …
Estamos en Guadalajara
I know we've said this before, but we are lucky! Yes, our Fes plans got scuttled, but we made it out of the U.S. after a month-long stay in sunny Florida. Yesterday, we arrived in Guadalajara. We flew from Fort Lauderdale to Houston, where the plane was on time until 10 minutes to boarding and …
We Have a Plan (or So We Think)
First things first or a moment of gratefulness: Thank you, Sandy, for generously allowing us to stay in your home in Florida when we were at loose ends. We had a few days of discombobulation, but sunshine and a comfortable working environment made a huge difference. Florida wildlife and the view from Sandy's patio. After …
Always Remember to Stay Flexible
Me, thinking about our plans for the next few months. I would like to report that we are spending our time in Florida visiting all the cultural and historic sites, but well, it is Florida, so not so much. Instead, we are working, visiting with my mother and obsessing over our next move. Today we …
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 …
Oh, the Drama
We've been a little quiet this past week because we were fitting in four months of social activity into two weeks. Friends, family, Chicago to Baltimore, Thanksgiving, with lots of lunches and dinners and even a bit of work sandwiched in. But, we're on the road again, complete with the latest Covid drama. We're hoping …
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 …
