I’ve always liked art but am not a connoisseur or someone who can talk about the depth in a painting, the feeling or half the things those cravat-wearing types do, standing around in an art gallery. I just know if something appeals to it. Sometimes it does piecemeal, and other times holistically but I know … More Memories
The year started on a fun enough note. Had plenty of adored people around. There was music. There was dancing. There were hyper kids. Loads of alcohol flowing as well. And lights flashing…the whole shebang! And then we crashed, bleary-eyed, into bed only to be woken up at what seemed like an ungodly hour but … More 2020
If anyone’s ever been tasked with getting their kid out of bed on a Monday morning, especially in winter, will know what that kid would look like as a drunk adult. The lurching, the groaning, the guttural sounds coming from their throat, the near vampire-like sensitivity to light…the whole shebang! You have a mini- facsimile … More Oh! The Humanity!!

Possibly the most eye-catching basilica in the world, the Sagrada Familia is a must-see. Especially in this format. … More Sagrada Familia

Suddenly a deep baritone growls out notes to a song you don’t understand but can feel all the way down to your toes. The thudding … More Viva La Flamenco!!
This was our last day in Barcelona. We decided to skip the beach in the less than balmy weather and spend the day in the Gothic Quarter instead. A good decision as it turned out. Browsing through a flea market, listening to street musicians and having a perfect lunch in a quaint, hole-in-the-wall place in … More Discovering Barcelona-III
