Here we are on the Camino Fisterre. We are walking and wondering about developments in Catalona.

Here is my first reaction to the recent election in the USA.

A video of our recent road trip to the Vall de Boí in the Spanish Pyrenees.

North Americans and Spanish don't understand each other's religion and it's a matter of history.

An update on the political gridlock in Spain.

Here is Elyn's latest Your Life is a Trip article. Great reading

I was doing some routine maintenance of our computers when I discovered that Elyn’s computer was not being automatically backed up to our cloud server. Long story short, I solved the problem but not without some important life lessons. 

Elyn heads to the seashore sanctuary of San Andrés de Teixido in northwestern Spain on the trail of local Galician folklore about this hard-to-reach pilgrimage shrine, perched on a cliff on the Costa da Morte. 

Never a dull moment here in Girona, Catalonia, Spain. Today our street turned into a local sporting event. 

We were sitting here in our apartment on a Saturday night when music began to filter up to our 6th floor level. Grabbing my camera I went down to see what was going on. Enjoy!

Getting old, it turns out, ain't for sissies. A recent return to the U.S. to clear out our "stuff" stirred up more than the dust in our storage unit. 

“What is a powerful place?” Because Elyn and I write a "Powerful Places" guidebook series we are often asked the question. Our response may surprise you. 

What happens when a passion for cycling and coffee inspire a restaurant? I discover the answer, and story behind it, at La Fábrica (The Factory). Hint, we'll be back!

My answer to the question that inspired this blog. 

We just saw an article about how cheap it is to live in Spain. I can't say that our life in Girona is a particularly good example of what this author is talking about, but it may be true of other parts of Spain.

It’s August here in Spain and one by one all the shops I like to frequent are putting up those little “closed for vacation” signs. The whole town gradually empties of locals as the "Gironenes" escape to the beaches on the Costa Brava if they can afford it, or to somewhere in the countryside if they can’t. 

Money is at the root of many of the challenges we face as expats. In this post we discuss our approach to dealing in different currencies. 

With frequent travels in Europe and the U.K., we've learned plenty about communication and not without a few mishaps along the way. 

You probably think that once your residency in your new country is assured, daily life will become routine. Well, think again. In this post, we discuss a series of new challenges that presented themselves once we made the move.
