Hello friends! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend with family and friends, and I hope you were able to eat copious amounts of hamburgers, hotdogs and grilled corn. I, on the other hand, didn’t really do anything to celebrate Memorial Day in Madrid… except host a Memorial Day […]
In the three years that I have lived in Europe, there have only been two cities that have made me think “I need to come back and see more of this place”- Paris and London. And now…Rome. My weekend in Rome was absolutely incredible and I am 100% sure that it was so great because […]
Hello, hello! Happy, happy Tuesday! (But not really…is it just me or is this week DRAGGING? It should be at least Thursday by now!). But anyway, enough about the week and let’s back up to the weekend. This weekend was strange in that I spent a lot of it alone, but I also did a […]
Hello from the other side of the weekend! (How and why? I may never understand the speed at which the weekend moves. It’s unbelievable.) Also, how is it ALREADY May (well, soon)? When did this happen?! Anyways, I had a really good weekend so I wanted to share some of it with ya’ll and hope […]
Hello friends! Happy Monday! I am coming back from an awesome quick weekend in Valle del Jerte (Extremadura) where I spent two days eating, hiking, drinking, relaxing, and laughing. My friend (and neighbor), Cristina invited Luis and me to join a trip to Valle del Jerte, where there was supposed to be an incredible blooming of […]
Hello! I hope you are all feeling well-rested after the weekend. I didn’t mean to up and disappear like I have for the last 1.5 weeks. Everyday, I have ´blog´on my to-do list and every day, my to-do list gets away from me. Things have really, really been picking up in the Bagel and tour […]
Hello, hello! I’m finally getting on here to recap the weekend on Tuesday! Time moves too quickly and both yesterday (Monday) and today (Tuesday) have been flying be without much of a breather in sight. I might be retired (lol) but I am still quite busy with my retiree activities. Luckily, the weekend was super […]
Hi friends! I hope you’re visiting the blog relaxed and rejuvenated after a great weekend! My weekend was superb- lots of friend time, events, etc. From Friday to Sunday, it felt like a go-go-go weekend, but it was the best kind of busy. On Friday, as soon as I hit submit on my last class […]
Well, the unthinkable is happening! It’s SNOWING in Madrid. It hardly ever rains, let alone SNOWS here. And what’s more? It’s been snowing for TWO days! I am writing this post after a lovely relaxing weekend and as I write it, the snow is coming down incredibly hard. It’s not really sticking much, but it’s […]
I’ve officially decided the France is my spirit country…like you’re spirit animal, but it’s my country. I have now been to France 3 times (Paris, Lyon, and now a weekend in Toulouse and Bordeaux), and each time, I leave happy, full [of cheese] and planning my next trip. Toulouse and Bordeaux both blew me away, and […]
