January 10-11, 2008.  The missing days. January 12, 2008.  Today my new job as a group escort for ski trips started.  With a bang, after one of the people I met at the airport had a bag stolen out from under our eyes.  Amazing since everyone was sitting with the luggage, and his bag disappeared.  […]

January 3, 2008.  My sister left this morning to catch a flight back to New York. I went to rent a car (in person, I just couldn’t get a good rate over the Internet).  This required some negotiation, and I’m certain I was given among the worst deals possible.  I will be driving up to […]

December 26, 2007.  Marbella town was just as cute as we remembered it, with narrow streets, a castle (what town doesn’t have one), the Plaza de los Naranjos, etc…  It was a bit too cold and windy for the boys to hang on the beach so we went back to the hotel and let them […]

December 19, 2007.  Today we drove south from Barcelona to Villajoyosa, a town about 40 kilometers before Alicante.  We turned a five hour drive into a six and a half hour drive, but it was a lot of fun since the boys sang, scretched, got of each other’s nerves (and hours) and we were driving […]

December 12, 2007.  I can’t believe this is week 17.  It really feels like we’ve only been here four months.  I’m thinking I’d like to get a white German Shepard when we get back since Rocket needs a friend and our house is probably trashed anyway. December 13, 2007.  Anne’s Birthday.  She’s 34.  How time flies.  […]

December 5, 2007.  I must have burned 10,000 calories today.  At 9:00 a.m. I was supposed to meet a couple of guys for a run and I ran over to meet them (about 10 minutes plus a subway ride) and we ended up running about 1:20 with about half an hour of fast running; then […]

November 28, 2007.  I studied Spanish this morning before going to my lesson.  It’s a long process.  When I got back, Anne and I went to lunch and then by the local cheese and ham store.  We were looking around and the store is very high end (we ate there last week).  It’s a special […]

November 21, 2007.  My sister Annette arrived this morning from New York (a direct flight).  We right away tried to cover some of the touristic sites (check out our photos of what we discovered).  We took full advantage of public transportation and a warm, humid day.  In the evening I went to David’s practice and […]

November 14, 2007.  Went to Starbucks with Anne, then Anne went to Class.  I went on a huge 1:40 run through the hills and dales.  It was nice except I got home and consumed everything in sight.  I took David to soccer practice and hung out with the Spanish soccer moms.  They are not well […]

November 7, 2007.  I was at Spanish class, which is basically for me a discussion/conversation and was talking with my teacher.  I noted that I am getting to the point where I may need to do something other than try to learn Spanish.  Because there is no added value I can bring to the ski […]
