Let’s squeeze one last post into 2024, shall we? December is usually a quieter month for us, after the rush of November and the intensity that comes with Thanksgiving and Pie Week (the week of Thanksgiving when we make and sell a billion pies), December is usually quite a bit slower. I usually feel a […]
Denali National Park
Hello from rainy Madrid! I started this post almost 30 days ago so it’s high time I get back to it. ____ From Fairbanks, we took the Alaska National Railroad to Denali. We got very lucky with beautiful, sunny weather in Denali, and it was just the best. The views from the train were breathtaking. […]
3 Days, 5 Flights – MAD – MIA – PHL – CHI – SEA – FAI
Hello from Madrid! I’ve been away for the last month or so – traveling with my parents and then Luis and I went to the beach for 3 days because I wasn’t ready to go back to reality. I’m still not ready so I am taking today (sunday) nice and easy – cleaned the house, […]
A Night in Avila (with an Accent on the A) and Like Two Pictures from Malaga
Look at me! Coming back in less than 6 months with another fresh post! Actually that’s probably a bad sign, a sign that I am pretty much guaranteed to disappear for the next 8 months after this goes live. I guess you (and I) will find out! So, like I said, besides our two trips […]
4 Months, 2 Trips, and Everything In Between
I am officially *on vacation* so now I have time to update on the last 5 (?) or so months that I have disappeared from here. I can’t tell you what happened in March, or April, or May, but going as far back as June, I can tell you that we went on two great […]
A Quick Trip to Sierra Nevada
Luis and I usually have our weekends wide open (besides work) and that was the case last week when my friend Emma wrote to me asking if we would like to join her + boyfriend at their place for the weekend in Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada is a 5+ hour drive from Madrid so normally […]
Pictures of People
I had a special request to update here once in awhile and while I am sitting here at Mazál II waiting for an event to start in 30 minutes, I figure I can just update with some pictures of people. If it’s not pictures of people, it’s pictures of food and bagels and broken stuff […]
A Four Day Jaunt in Tel Aviv
I may or may not had to look up the word ‘jaunt’ to make sure I hadn’t invented it out of nowhere. I’m writing this post from Malaga, drinking a coffee and generally hiding out from the mega clean up that is happening due to an ant infestation in the kitchen. Luis’ Mom is on […]
Other Lately
I wrote one post and now I feel the “writer’s high”. Oh wait, that’s not a thing, it’s runner’s high. As soon as I get this posted I will go out to get high that way. I feel like so much of my life is consumed by Mazál, but not just consumed by Mazál but […]
A Week With Cousins and Bro in Madrid
Well hello there, happy Saturday! I am usually able to sleep 12-13 hours over the weekend and then wake up feeling like garbage because I overslept so this morning when I naturally woke up at 8:30, I washed my face with cold water and then walked as far away from the bed as possible. I’m […]
