In between the travel of 2018 I had quite a bit local fun. There was no shortage of things to do. For a long time my homegirl Kat van Halen tried convincing me to make vlogs (video blogs) and I wouldnât do it. Perhaps I should. I have a trip coming up this week and think Iâll try my hand at it.

The last on the Nicaraguan series from 2018 for now. In the next travel post we head to Southeast Asia and then on to the Canadien Rockies with the newest member of our family.. Our final excursion during our previous 3-week trip was to Ometepe, an island in southwest Nicaraguaâs vast Lake Nicaragua. Itâs known for its twin volcanoes.

I was hoping to get another post in before a certain someone left their post, but itâs still only half written. Iâm sorry yâall. I have a good reason. A few posts ago I wrote about Harvard, the free online courses they were (and are still) offering, and how at the time I couldnât decide between enrichment or enlightenment. You can revisit that post here. I never did choose and was better offâŚ

Typical Nica Food
Before transferring to Michigan to complete my undergrad, I spent a full semester at the University of Illinois in Chicago. My Fall enrollment there would be the first major holiday I would spend away from. When Thanksgiving drew near, the postmanâwith whom I often conversedâhad noticed that unlike my flatmate and other colleges students on his route, I had not gone home for the holidays. IâdâŚ

Not long ago I wrote a post called, âSnugglepot and Cuddlepieâ. In it I mentioned the VIVID Festivalâ-a festival of light, music, exhibitions and ideas held in Sydney each June and promised Iâd write about it in due course. This is that time. Here is the story of how I was adopted into a crew.

Oprah here, checking in. Halfway through completing the Nicaragua 2018 series I jumped shipped. At some point in the recent years, Apple decided to change their image files from JPG to HEIC. I suppose this was a good move, only WordPress didnât get the memo.

The Banksia
Just before Australia went into isolation, I met up with my Croatian pal. Her mom was in town and sheâd invited me to join them for a stroll around Manly.
There was a large surf competition in progress and numerous pods of men congregating around television-ed pubs and patios watching two female boxers fight. During a pretzel stop at the Bavarian in Manly, we learn that the womenâs names wereâŚ

Online Learning with Harvard
Harvard is offering free courses during this pandemic. There are a number of topics offered by its various schools to choose from. Whatâs particularly enticing is that in addition to being free, you can also get a verified certificate upon completion for a relatively small fee.
The problem is deciding what to choose. Were I more adept at cooking, âScience & Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to SoftâŚ

If youâre going to have illuminated, suspect trees lining your major roads, then you may as well have them leading somewhere. As it happens, los arbolitos do.

Republica de Nicaragua: 2018
Back in February mom took off to Panama with her homegirls and sent my siblings and I a pic of them out paseando (going about).
As I wrote in the family chat, mom is FOREVER sabotaging a cute photo. My sister was quick to lambast me while also laughing at the truth of it all.
âDonât do her like that,â she wrote back. đŁď¸She does her like that, Caro. Still, super cute the are. â¤ď¸

Comrade Down
Our extended family is down one today. My tia Olga Perez was taken by COVID-19.
I never saw my aunt much; she was based in New York. But, I chatted often with her online. She was big fan of my blog and was always sharing my posts with her network and the family group she created to keep us all connected. A fellow traveller, she enjoyed seeing the next generation get out and see the world.
