Hosting a Friend in Valencia

Wow is it an Adjustment!

Don’t get me wrong, we love it here (of course we’re still in the honeymoon phase), but sometimes, at the end of the day, our brains hurt. So many things are just different enough, and I’m not even talking about the language—I’ll get to that later. Some things are common whenever you move, wherever you move. Where’s the best place to buy bed linens? Kitchen gadgets? Wood glue? Yes, we have asked…

A Very Getto Wedding

Last Friday we left Chicago and started our progression to Valencia. We left Chicago the last Friday in March and headed to Los Angeles for our nephew’s wedding. He and his now wife live in Chino Hills, but we decided to fly in and out of LAX because we preferred a direct flight and wanted to pick up and drop off our rental at the same location. The flight from Chicago was absolutely uneventful…

I'm Tallinn You

Sorry! I couldn’t resist. I think Steven’s influence is taking over (an excellent joke!) As you may have figured from that groanable title, we spent the weekend in Tallinn, Estonia. Tallinn isn’t a place we spent a lot of time thinking about, but it’s a two-hour ferry ride directly south across the Gulf of Finland. If you’re that close to another country, you really have to go. We used Tallink…

Helsinki is Hot, or at Least Pretty Warm

We decided to come to Helsinki on a whim. We’d never really spent much time in Scandinavia, so, why not? That about sums up our decision-making. Surprise! We really like it (in the summer when it’s light most of the time). First off, it’s entirely walkable and has an excellent public transportation system. We have a 13th floor corner apartment with the Vanhankaupunginselkä (a bay off the Baltic…

North to the Atlantic

What? you ask. The Pacific is west in the Western Hemisphere, everyone knows that! Well, not if you’re in Panama, which runs east-west and happens to contain the narrowest point (51 miles) between the Atlantic (well,technically the Caribbean) and the Pacific making it attractive for digging a canal. It didn’t hurt that the U.S. already controlled the land,. The second choice was Nicaragua, which…
