Today JP got up and out before sunrise, and got the dogs to walk around an old fortress lookout thingie (i’m sure there’s a technical term for it). Back at the apartment, we ate and packed up, hitting the road relatively early as we had a long drive back, and though the girls don’t have…

Getting up bright and early, JP took the dogs down to the beach and let them run around a bit. This can always be a little risky, as Darth, a Shiba Inu with a mind of his own, is wicked smart, and might decide to not come back. JP has done this on a beach…

The girls were on a 4 day weekend (JP got Monday off), so JP & AAs jumped in the car (more like, they packed food, clothes, and the dogs into the van – which took an inordinately longer amount of time than molasses dripping from a tree in January), and drove the 5 hours south…

Vered and Elyce were flying back home because Vered’s best friend was becoming Bat Mitzvah, and Vered wanted to be there. The airport in Madrid is HUGE! We thought we arrived with plenty of time, little did we know we would have to go down 4 sets of escalators, take a tram to another section…

Leaving Dos Rius relatively early (we were out by 0930, which has to be a new record for us), we made our way from Barcelona to Madrid. Our home for the next 3 weeks is going to be a little town south of Madrid, just north of Toledo, called Recas. Truthfully, it’s going to mostly…

Subtitled: Carnivale en Toledo Friday was a standard working day for JP, but he managed to get the girls to clean, he cooked up a few meals for Shabbat, and brought in the sabbath with trampoline jumping, dogs running around, and a Lord of the Rings movie! Most of the sabbaths, we’ve been able to…

Leaving early in the morning, we just wanted to burn rubber and get away from this apartment. We also wanted a macaron! Good luck finding patisseries open Sunday morning. JP had mapped a couple in Lyon, but nothing was open. We did find a Braille memorial. Turns out, there’s a big braille memorial here. Instead…

Ever hear an ass bray? No, not JP or his bad jokes. I mean, a real donkey, braying at full blast, in the mountains of France, at 7 in the morning? No? Let me tell you, it’s amazing. It is like nothing you’ve ever heard before. One summer JP lived across the street from a…

Some people have asked, and it feels appropriate to give an update. How does Elyce feel? This is a loaded question. Emotionally, I am spent, excited, intrigued, reluctant, afraid, happy and everything else. Physically, it is a bit of everything as well. Looking at me from an outsiders’ perspective, you would think I am 100%…
