Holidays in Tres Cantos
We had a most wonderful time with our kids in Miami. The weather held out, we had time to sit and talk and eat and play games. Couldn’t have asked for better. Hoping that all my Jewish friends enjoyed a wonderful Hannukah! As far as I have seen, Hannukah is not a thing in Tres …
Happy Thanksgiving!
I wanted to take a moment and give a shout out to some people who mean so much to us and who have really been there for us this past year. I’ll start with our kids, four terrific human beings who have continually given us so much joy. I’ll extend it to their spouses and …
A trip to Navarra
A birding trip through the gorgeous landscape of Navarra in northeastern Spain.
Happy Halloween from Tres Cantos!
When I lived in Spain before, Halloween was not on anyone’s radar, and outside of the American Schools, it basically didn’t exist. Things have changed in the last 20 years, however, and Halloween is now…well, it’s kind of a thing. Not like in the US, no, but… on the spectrum. For starters, I was able …

Everyday shopping in Spain

This weekend we rented a car and decided to go birding/sight-seeing in the mountainous area north-east of Madrid (about …
Dogs in Spain
This blog post is dedicated to my middle son who (finally) got married this weekend to his girlfriend of 9 years. They met his freshman year in college and have been inseparable ever since. They are both wonderful people—compassionate, kind, sensitive, intelligent, athletic and hard-working. Wishing them a wonderful life, filled with continuing good health, …
New Vocab and a Visit to the Spanish National Museum
Well, it’s looking like our furniture and household goods won’t get here until mid-October at the earliest. So, onto more adventures! One of the things about living in another country whose language is different is that you have to learn a lot of vocabulary. I’m fortunate in that I learned Spanish quite well when I …
