Wow, look at me with two posts in one day! Today has felt very long, like there are enough hours to do everything and then some. Maybe it’s because people are picking up their bagels later this afternoon, which left my morning wide open. Anyway, I had time to write a quick post this morning […]
Finding the right place to open up the next edition of Bruja’s Bakery has proven to be a little more difficult than we anticipated, but not because it’s hard to find a space that can work. No- that is the easy part… there are plenty of locales that are available and new ones become available […]
As I sat down to write this post, it occurred to me that I am not sure how to go about writing about our weekend in Munich because of the nature of the type of trip it was. We were in Munich first and foremost to celebrate the wedding of Alberto, and his bride, Sabrina, […]
Today is my 28th birthday. That is so strange to thing/ say/ type/ experience. Time moves so quickly (I moved to Spain when I was 24) but also so slowly. I still remember when I was in preschool – wandering around the playground, picking up rocks, and the time the teacher gave me a huge […]
If you are planning a trip to Vigo or to the north of Spain, making time for a day at Islas Cies is mandatory. Make time to see this unique beach that has soft white sand, crystal clear water, and is almost completely natural. Islas Cies is, without a doubt, one of my favorite places I’ve seen […]
Luis and I just got back from a week long amazing road trip through the north of Spain, but before I share that, I need to back up and quickly write about our incredible time in Malaga. Looking back, I was just in Malaga in June, but it’s one of our favorite beach spots […]
Going on a road trip seems to be the vacation of choice for Luis and me. We’ve been on an 11 Day Italy road trip (2017), a 7 day Portugal Road Trip (2018), a 12 day USA road trip (2018), and tomorrow we leave for a 7 day Northern Spain road trip! Also earlier this […]
Yummy, but we probably wouldn’t have it again and I’ll tell you why… While I was home, I was all about “doing American things”. I enjoyed big glasses of water in restaurants, going to rest stops on the highway, eating huge portions of food (or…ordering huge portions), drinking craft beers… and last, but not least/ going […]
Four years ago, I wrote this post while I procrastinated packing for my first year in Spain. If you read the post, you can read between the lines (or not between the lines- very obviously) that I was nervous and worried and excited about my impending trip to Spain. That post feels like a long time […]
It may partly be due the fact that I am currently income-less and am harboring quite a bit of anxiety surrounding that fact, but I have been very interested in budgeting, saving, and organizing money for the last few weeks. If you have been reading this blog for a long time, you know that when […]
