Well today is a transit day, having spent yesterday doing a bit of laundry and walking around the University. This is where the world gets smaller. How small? Here it is… So we are sitting at dinner the other night, casually chatting about all things pet (typical conversation goes “what do you think Knowshon is doing…”). Sitting next to us are two Americans also chatting about all sorts of things. In the most casual of […]

Well we’ve been in London about 24 hours, yesterday we arrived around noon, then it took some time to get to our hotel.

We then decided to walk from there to our hotel, which was super nice – it’s about 70F and sunny – not too hot, nor too cold. We walked through Hyde […]
Well we are outta here, made it to DIA way ahead of schedule, but that’s ok. Cindy is having separation anxiety from the pets, but she’ll work through it as soon as the door closes. We found two great house sitters through trustedhousesitter.com who stay in our house, take care of it and the pets and basically there’s no fee. There’s a charge to join the site, but considering dog storage at a place costs […]
Well it was raining a lot during this hike on Wednesday and we really didn’t take many pictures. The evening was pretty slow, dinner was pre-ordained for us and not so great, but afterwards we went and ordered hot chocolate – which came out like chocolate soup! Cindy was excited at first, but then with all chocolate soup you cannot eat as much as you think.
Well today was pretty easy as expected and sunny all day – high of only 75F so not so bad – last week I think it was 85F so a pretty good change. We’ve now pivoted onto the main Portuguese Way route so there are many more people on the journey. This morning we were able to get up early and get moving with the goal of not spending so much time in the heat […]
