    Tastings

    2025年9月4日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Started our morning at the Guinness storehouse for a tour and tastings. Fun place. Afterwards we found lunch (at a pub), then wandered into the National Museum, an interesting collection of cultural artifacts (silver, clothes, etc), as well as an area focused on soldiers and war (we skipped that). It was decent for the price of free.

    We then went to the Jameson tour and tasting experience - very well executed cinematic type of tasting.

    After all the walking around we were pooped, so bussed back home for a siesta.

    We stayed close to home for dinner, and ate at a French pizza place.    もっと詳しく

    Museums

    2025年9月5日, アイルランド ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    This morning we headed downtown and went to the emigration museum (epic). It was interesting and well put together, but pricey for what we got out of it.

    Then lunch, after which we took the tram over to the Gaol. Unfortunately the only tours they had left were late in the afternoon, so we bailed on that.

    Instead we wandered through a park and into the modern art museum. Also free.

    After an afternoon rest, we finally spent an evening downtown bar hopping around Temple bar area, listening to live music. Temple bar was fun, reminiscent of Nashville or bourbon street, and not really our jam. But a few blocks away we found a place called Darkey Kelly, and some great musicians were playing. Very fun.    もっと詳しく

    Wandering

    2025年9月8日〜10日, スペイン ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

    We made it to the church and fortress today. The church was a very cool sandstone gothic example, including a giant clam holy water font. The fortress/castle was underwhelming.

    We then continued to walk west, to the next part of town and further beaches. This is a great walking town.

    Started to sprinkle, and we found a bar for lunch and tapas.    もっと詳しく

    Exploring Bilbao

    2025年9月11日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    We walked along the river to eventually catch the metro. That took us down the river to the famous vizcaya bridge, a unique structure called a transporter bridge, where cars and people are moved across the river on a hanging platform.

    We then wandered around the other side of the river, stopped for a beverage and snack, then found another metro station to take us back downtown.

    Fun adventure finding a specific product Kara wanted in a huge department store, then lunch in a historic restaurant.

    We then meandered through the old town, thought about going into the church (but it was €10!), looked at the old market, then walked to the funicular to take us up the hill for the view.

    A few hours of relaxing at home, then we caught bus 72 right outside our door to go down to the plaza to tapas crawl.    もっと詳しく

    Museum day

    2025年9月12日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Morning at the Guggenheim! What a special museum. We again liked the Serra exhibit of huge metal plates. Special exhibits of female artists, our favorite Barbara Kruger.

    After our brains were full, we found drinks and snacks at a mediocre bar. Then P, K, and I headed home to chill, while Bill went to the fine art museum (under renovation) and the maritime museum.

    Since we had so much food at home, we ended up having charcuterie and cheese while watching Jumanji    もっと詳しく

    Travel day

    2025年9月13日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Departed our Airbnb at 11, tram to bus station. Noon bus got us to San Sebastian at 1:30. We chilled at a bar waiting for our host to let us store our bags.

    Then we walked to a great restaurant that Bill and I had been to last time, a Bib Gormand place. P&K got a prix fix tasting menu, while Bill and I got an assortment of tapas.

    We then wandered a bit while waiting to get access to our Airbnb.

    Evening was checking out old town and tapas.    もっと詳しく

    Exploring the waterfront and a regatta

    2025年9月14日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    We set out to walk the long promenade around la concha beach, where we found ourselves deep in the throngs of a festival regatta. Honoring this area's history of whaling, the ~13 person boats raced out of the bay to the ocean, turned and raced back in. Yellow team from Orio won!

    We kept strolling the promenade, stopping for some pretty good burgers at a terrace restaurant.

    After a bit more walking, we took an old wooden funicular up to the top of the hill to explore the old amusement park. Unfortunately it was siesta time, so most of the rides (including the anticipated log ride) were closed. We did stumble into what we thought was a little scenic railway, that turned out to be a quirky and fun rollercoaster.

    We retraced our steps back home, then rested a bit from our 6+ mile day.

    P&K stayed in and watched the Seahawks game, Bill and I strolled around the neighborhood to find a light dinner    もっと詳しく

    Chill day

    2025年9月15日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Kara's back was hurting, so they laid low and stayed close to home.

    Bill and I walked the loop around the peninsula, then dipped our feet in the water with a short walk on the beach. Then hit a few tapas places for lunch.

    For dinner the four of us went to a nearby restaurant that was excellent (Kbzon Houndi) where we shared a tomato salad, foie gras, duck breast, blood sausage raviolis, and grilled beef.    もっと詳しく

    Day trip to france

    2025年9月16日, フランス ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    We decided to day-trip to France, to the charming town of St Jean de Luz. When Bill and I were here a few years ago, getting between here and there felt pretty easy.

    Today the first train was diverted to a bus for half the journey, then a bit of a wait to catch the tram across the border, then the train to SJDL was several hours away, so we took a local city bus. Not too bad, but seemed like a lot to get there.

    Once there we wandered through the weekly farmers market, then some window shopping. Time for lunch, but we had a hard time settling due to bad reviews, high prices, and bad service. Oh well.

    We plotted our route home, but bought the wrong train tickets so couldn't get on the 4:30. So we found a bar to waste some time before the 5:43. Back to wait for the tram/light rail to a new neighborhood, then a different city bus back to SS.

    All in all we didn't get home until 8pm, and we were all tuckered. We stayed in and enjoyed our backlog of charcuterie and cheeses.    もっと詳しく

    Travel day and Pamplona

    2025年9月18日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Bill got our rental car and picked us up near the apartment. After an hour drive we were in Pamplona, where we walked around to check out the cute old town area. Had a menu del dia (too much food), then back to the car for the remaining two hour drive to zaragoza.

    Bill dropped us off, then took the car back to return it. We settled into our Airbnb, then went for a quick grocery shop.

    We went out at golden hour and took some photos of the church pilar, the stone bridge, and an impromptu band playing.    もっと詳しく

    Zaragoza

    2025年9月19日〜21日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    We started today with a great walking tour and learned quite a bit about the history of the town. Lunch on the plaza (biggest plaza in Europe). We then went into the cathedral that had a multitude of architectural styles all very ornate.

    P&K then headed home. Bill and I were interested in maybe another museum, so we sat at a cafe to do a little research. Only to discover everything closes at 2 for siesta time. So Bill and I headed home for our own siesta.

    Dinner time had us checking out el tubo area for tapas crawl.

    Second day we went to the palace, an old moorish palace that is also still used as government offices. It also had a Goya exhibit (nice, as the Goya museum in town was closed for renovations)

    Stormy evening so we ate at a cafe close to home, and watched some serious lightning displays.    もっと詳しく

    To Porto

    2025年9月21日, ポルトガル ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

    Travel day! Uber to train station, train to Madrid. Then commuter rail and metro to get us to the airport. Lounge!! Flight was delayed by almost an hour, then quick flight to porto. We could've taken two more metros to get to our Airbnb, but we decided to Uber :-)

    After unpacking, walked around, super packed with people every!!! Drinks, then dinner, then groceries. Then home. Travel days are tiring.    もっと詳しく

    Exploring Porto

    2025年9月22日〜26日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Four days of exploring Porto

    Day one: walking tour (humourous but not very wide ranging), found lunch, siesta.

    Day two: wandered up to the pedestrian shopping street, and the super cute market, lunch in rue de Flores, followed by a kinda weird filigree shop (bought a pendant), dinner at a bacalaureia place.

    Day three: bus out to the ocean and cute town of Foz. Walked the waterfront, then had lunch and a funny and cheap cafe in the mercado. Bus back to town, we then went on a port tour and a small independent place. Good dinner at Meet & Taste.

    Day four: explored the cathedral, Bill went up the tower for photos. Wandered small windy alleys and found a small courtyard for a light snacky lunch.    もっと詳しく

    Travel day and soccer!

    2025年9月26日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    I guess an easy travel day, but had some frustrations. We usually think of train travel as super easy, stations are commonly easy to navigate, no TSA security, etc. So we timed ourselves accordingly.

    Took an Uber to the station, not sure whether Bill set us to the wrong place, or Uber driver was lazy. But we ended up at the huge Porto intermodal station. Loads of signage, but still not clear where our train platform was. And no attendants to talk to. We went all the wrong places, then figured out we had to high-tail it a quarter mile to another set of platforms. We just made it before our planned departure. But the train was late so whew.

    Then the train cars had no numbers, so we got on the wrong car, as did many others, which caused a major traffic jam in the aisles. So we ended up hanging out in the space between cars for ~20 min before finding our seats. Oh well.

    Then we realized the soccer game we bought tix to had been rescheduled to tonight! So we got settled, then headed out. Such a fun night!!! Benfica won 🥰    もっと詳しく

    Algarve

    2025年10月2日〜10日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    We took a bus from Lisbon to the town of Portimao on the southern coast of Portugal. Nothing too much to see, except for beautiful beaches, dramatic cliffs, and lovely weather.

    We spent an afternoon laying on the beach and swimming, and a nice nomad meetup.

    Unfortunately I twanged my back, so have laid pretty low most of the week.    もっと詳しく

    Huelva
