Road Trip – Another Two Weeks in Paradise

There are several places I’ve been through the years that I can’t get out of my system. Castine, ME, Amsterdam, NL, Bruges, BE, and Key West, FL. I was lucky to be in the Keys in the early 80s, a little late to the party, Michael came many times in the 70s, I wish I […]

Little Talk

To end our show at the Arts Council Carol and I did a little talk. In this blog post I’m including some tidbits that I did not share during the talk, like the part about what we did when we lived in Aspen. And I’m only posting my part of the talk! Some of this […]

Last Road Trips of 2022

I thought I was done traveling for the year – not so! A quick trip to Myrtle Beach was followed by a trip to see the North Carolina Chinese Lantern Festival! Then I got a call from a friend asking me if I wanted to go see the Sergeant show at the National Gallery in […]

Road Trip – Mid-Coast Maine

I’ve been to Maine 5 times but never seem to have enough time, so this year my friend Pam went with me for 2 weeks. And there still wasn’t enough time! Our adventure started even before we got there. We let Siri change our route, mistake, however we did end up in Morristown, NJ. where […]

Road Trip – Porto To Barcelona To the Basque Region of Northern Spain – Part 2

Continued from Part 1! Barcelona Barcelona did not disappoint in any way. It’s a much more intimate city than Madrid and very walkable. We put on over 10 miles in one day! Of course the highlight was the work of Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia facade that you currently enter through is almost too much to […]

Road Trip – Porto To Barcelona To the Basque Country – Part 1

We flew into Lisbon, then to Porto, drove to Lisbon, Óbidos, Evora, Seville, Granada, high speed train to Madrid, then Barcelona, our final stop was the Basque Country. It was a whirlwind trip but really gave us a taste […]
