So we have ten days to spend in the Tacoma/Seattle area. What to see, what to see? Well, what kind of stuff do we like? Put us outside and we’re both happy. Show us a few animals, and throw in an ice cream cone and we’re on top of the world. Guess what we found? [...]
Trails and Paws in Point Defiance
What is one to do when bringing a Scotsman to see Washington state for the first time? A Scotsman who loves the outdoors, cool weather, hiking, mountains, trees, and water? You show him everything! I think Washington was custom built for Brian. As soon as we got off the plane and he felt the crisp [...]
Drive Me, Drive You, Drive Anywhere
Why do we fall in to certain driving habits? I realized after Brian got here over a week ago that we’ve switched rolls. In Brazil, he drove. Actually I wasn’t really supposed to drive the company car, but I was completely capable of navigating the crazy anarchy of the traffic. I played designated driver a [...]
My American Personal Space is Too Big For Me Now
In Brazil we just hopped into the elevator and went downstairs. We lived in a smallish city of nearly 200,000 people and lived right in the heart of downtown. Everything was nearby. Everything was convenient. We could walk to the beach, the market, the library, the movies. We could walk 100 yards to the bus [...]
Scotland – Where My Vocabulary has to Change
Living in Brazil has given us a new language. In a place where almost no-one speaks English, we have learned to speak Portuguese. Sometimes badly, but we can hold our own during regular conversations. Now we’re moving on to Scotland, where Brian will be right at home and I will be in a whole new [...]
Brazil – Carnaval in a Small Town
We spend a lot of our time in and around Rio das Ostras in Rio de Janeiro state. It’s a beautiful place with fourteen beaches and misty mountains in the distance. It’s easy to see why it’s a tourist destination, catering mostly to Brazilians from other parts of the country. Most people know all about [...]
Caribbean – Scuba Diving St. John, USVI
So Brian has been a serious scuba diver for years. He dives wrecks and he goes deep. The first time we had lunch together it was to talk about diving when I was thinking about enrolling my kids in a course. He’s wanted to get me in scuba gear since we met. While we were [...]
Cash, Loot, Money, Grana, Bucks
How do you keep it straight? We are the masters of the zip lock bag, but even that beloved little bit of plastic just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Because we regularly travel between the UK, the US and Brazil my pathetic little baggies of leftover change and small bills were becoming unmanageable, not to mention [...]
Texas – Trail of Lights in Wimberly
What is one to do on a chilly December night in Wimberly? If you don’t want to miss the hottest action in town, you go see the annual Trail of Lights at the EmilyAnn Theater. You put on your gloves and parka, and maybe a hat, grab yourself a hot chocolate and a hot date [...]
Texas – An Anniversary at Creekhaven Inn in the Wimberly Hill Country
Our last post showed you our wedding day. How does a year fly by so quickly? Today let me show you how we spent our one year anniversary. I (Peg) come back to Houston twice a year to spend time with my nearly grown children. Brian stays in Brazil for work and flies up to [...]
