It’s been quite some time (0kay, a week) since I have been back from the US, but I just haven’t been able to find the motivation to get on here and write. Where are you, motivation?! Part of it is this beautiful weather that Spain is having and I go many days without even cracking […]
Surprise! I went to the United States, just for a little rejuvenation, relaxation, and some re-charging. I was there because a good friend was getting married that week, which ended up being the perfect excuse for playing hooky for ten days! I was there for only ten days, which were ten days full of lots of […]
That bread up there was sooo good, now currently living in my freezer in Madrid 😉 Saturday was my last full day in Israel, so there was one thing, and only one thing, that I knew I wanted to accomplish. Breakfast. Specifically, Israeli breakfast. I wanted the whole shebang- the 15 little plates of salad […]
Day two was wedding day!!! We got up, got dressed, and almost immediately caught a taxi to the wedding (which got lost on the way and was super angry that he had insisted we take a pre-set fare that we originally thought was too high and ended up being too low…hehehe). We were blown away by […]
I don’t know where to begin when trying to tell you how absolutely incredible this trip was last weekend. Should I begin with talking about the city? Or the food? Or my family? Or meeting all of these long-lost distant relatives? Or should I tell you about the absolutely incredible wedding I went to? So […]
Part I and Part II here, if you haven’t read yet. On our final full day in Tenerife, we wanted to go visit some other towns and explore more of the island. We had plans to hit three towns in the north, but only made it to one. But primero, breakfast! And then we got […]
Spain is famous for a lot of things (siestas, flamenco dancing, paella, wine, olives), annnnnd it’s beaches. The majority of Spain is surrounded by water, except for that little annoying bit that keeps it attached to the rest of Europe ;). So anyway, there are a lot of beaches and a lot of really incredible […]
Since I only had plans for the first half of Semana Santa, I really wanted to take advantage of the open days of the second half of the week and do some exploring. I had never been to Segovia, even though it’s an easy day trip from Madrid, so I dragged Luis and we went […]
Our final leg of the trip was for 1.5 days in Dublin. Strangely enough, when we told anyone that we were heading to Dublin after Galway, their reaction was always “noooo, don’t go to Dublin!!!”. We started to doubt whether we made a bad choice by including Dublin in our itinerary, but can you go […]
On our second day in Galway, we booked an all-day tour to The Cliffs of Moher, with various stops along the way. From the time we began planning our trip, we knew that the Cliffs of Moher was one site we definitely wanted to see, so we were all really excited for this. Spoiler alert: it was […]
