Txotx! Txakoli! and flying buttresses 2
It feels so wrong to still be posting about Spain after spending close to a week in France and now sipping a nasty ass instant frappe (oh how I missed these!) from a boat in the middle of the stunning Aegean Sea. I can’t believe I haven’t been in Greece […]
Yes, Virginia, there is a cider museum 2
I started this one last weekend, but I was too exhausted after the weird festival that never ends and then just couldn’t find time during the week. I am going to roll three of these out before I leave for France on Sunday. Okay, I wrote that ↑ on Friday…it […]
Karmengo Jaiak, the Festival of St. Carmen
I’m gathering that “Karmengo Jaiak” means Saint Carmen in Euskera. I think my Basque name might be Xatriciago. So, I’m not doing much on purpose here during the week. Even though I start work later in the day, I do still have to get back at a certain time. Last […]
Oh no, I forgot about the squirrels 2
That’s probably because there aren’t any here to terrify and torment me. Reason #5 why I sleep better in Spain. Just have to share this…yesterday, my friend Leanne commented about how the squirrels that surround my treehouse apartment in the Bronx are probably partying it up big time while I’m […]
Bike path rage 2
Avgolemono and stop motion 2
Trying to catch up on posting…I start writing and then I get distracted or fall asleep before I resize and upload pictures…anyway, this one’s from Friday. So tonight I’m cooking dinner for Teresa and Telmo. They were so nice to invite me the other night, and just want to return […]
Swim the world! 2
Today I had my first dip in the gorgeous Atlantic in the Bahía de La Concha (Kontxako Badia). It’s been raining every morning since I got here, with bright breaks of sunshine just as I start work, so I haven’t really had a chance to go swimming yet. It has […]
How many miles do I need to bike per pintxo?
Today was the first day it wasn’t raining when I woke up so I grabbed Teresa’s bike and rode to the city center. The bike path system here is really top notch, and the city is set up quite nicely for bikers, cars and pedestrians. I made sure I could […]
I bought man shoes today
Si, si, por hombre. They don’t really look like mandals, but apparently my feet are just too big to fit in ladies sandals here. I think my feet might be a 42 in Europe and every shop I went in just stopped at 40. Anyway, my sandals, which were women’s […]
