Kitty and I wanted to alert our followers of our pending travels to Madrid. We’ll leave tomorrow (Jan 9) and will be gone for five weeks, and plan to keep up a regular travel blog starting the end of the week. We’ve rented an Airbnb apartment in the Chamberí district, north of the old city… Continue reading Here We Go Again!

Last Day Montreal
It’s Thursday September 14th and we ride the train tomorrow to Quebec. That means all the anxiety of packing, cleaning up and getting ready. But meanwhile we have a whole day and we want to make the best of it. After scoping out our route to the train station for tomorrow we stop at the Crew… Continue reading Last Day Montreal
Food 2
I have had so much fun experiencing the food! It got me thinking about what items I could try at home and what I would forgo and why. To try: Pan con tomateTomato bread is served everywhere. One detail is to pay attention to the tomatoes. They call them “hanging tomatoes.” They are the small ones sold on the vine. They… Continue reading Food 2
Barcelona Cooking School
We have never attended a cooking school in Barcelona. We have done a food tour but this was a new adventure. Several months ago we researched for our best fit (there are multitudes of schools and classes) and we choose a tapas and wine class that looked like fun and it was well reviewed. The class ran from… Continue reading Barcelona Cooking School
Food 1
We love the food in Barcelona, and thus far we’ve had an amazing range of meals. Our staple is the local restaurant with their weekday “Menu del Día.” These offer surprisingly elevated fare at very reasonable prices (general range 10-15 EURS for three courses and drink). Our meal at Sensa Nom in San Antoni was… Continue reading Food 1
Bootcamp at the Culinary Institute of Canada
June 15, 2022 What an afternoon! Months ago, we found the “Culinary Institute Bootcamp” online. It had great reviews and I loved the idea, so I signed up for a half-day class. As I approached the brick, academic building, I wonder “Now why did I think this was a good idea?” The group of participants met awkwardly in the… Continue reading Bootcamp at the Culinary Institute of Canada
North Rustico and Charlottetown
June 15, 2022 I love traveling in the northern countries this time of year! The sun rises about five and sets well past nine, and the light lingers in the sky until 11:00. The challenge for photography is getting out for those very early “golden hours” at sunrise and sunset. I am always grateful for… Continue reading North Rustico and Charlottetown
New Glasgow Lobster Supper
June 14, 2022 Nature says stop. We have had solid hard rain all day. Time to rest. But meals do carry on. We start at 8:00 am with our farm breakfast that we arranged upon arrival. What a feast. Fresh blueberry muffins, yoghurt, granola, fresh egg quiche, homemade bread, current jam and bacon. Now we have met some of the pigs… Continue reading New Glasgow Lobster Supper
PEI Landscapes
Our bed is oh so soft and welcome. Lorena gently wakes me at 7:00. She had been up since 4:00 looking for fox (no luck). After a quick coffee we are off! Our first stop on the itinerary is the Anne of Green Gables house and grounds that they have recreated in Cavendish. We are the only ones there… Continue reading PEI Landscapes
“Don’t Rush on Our Account!”
We are on our second day here in Dartmouth and Halifax. Our first day we stopped at my very first marijuana dispensary. They are run by the federal government, though I think there are also unofficial dispensaries about. They deliver, but I wanted to experience the store. It was large and roomy with literally hundreds… Continue reading “Don’t Rush on Our Account!”
