Padrón Peppers: Some are hot, some not! Sunday, May 29, 2011. We had a choice here. Either the four of us could spend a week in Madrid, cramped into our 2-bedroom apartment, or we could all go on a fun trip. Which would you have chosen? View of Trujillo and countryside. And had fun wandering through its old cobbled streets. Susan had very...

It was unbelievable, but here goes. Boat ride, wildlife, and a city tour. Sounded great! After lunch we took a two hour hike through the property o...

Zoë's Most Excellent Summer Adventures. Friday, August 24, 2007. Back by popular demand.

After Guatemala (and my ankle the size of a freaking cantaloupe), I took it easy for a day or so. That wasn't hard to do as I had a decent book (Time Traveler's Wife, OMG I *loved* it! Despite being up until about 1 am, we still managed to wake the next m...

Zoë's Most Excellent Summer Adventures. Friday, June 29, 2007. Right now we’re anchored in the bay near the port of Balboa, Panama. Apparently we can’t get a berth in Balboa, so we’re stuck here at anchor and will have to take the tender boats into port. We have a trip headed to the Gamboa Rainforest this afternoon. We have to get onto a tender by about 12:45 in order to make it on time to the trip. It’s 11:30 right now and they’re trying to get a normal schedule established for us. Dinner with the capta...
