The days magically (well it is not magic, it is that we are entering the summer solstice, but it seemed a bit more poetic to … Continúa leyendo Spring is here
Perhaps due to the pandemic or early retirement or a third and inexplicable reason 🙂 we began to be interested in birds. At first timidly putting some feeders on our deck and learning that different types of seeds attract different birds. The challenge remains to recognize who our guests are for breakfast and lunch 🙂 One of the benefits of living in the PNW (Pacific … Continúa leyendo Enjoying nature watching birds
Maybe you were reading my previous posts so I’m going to tell you the end of this story and I couldn’t find Santa Claus or his star reindeer Rudolph, although I think I was never that close to doing so 🙂 However, I received a wonderful birthday and Christmas gift that was a visit from my daughters after almost a year of not seeing us. … Continúa leyendo Rudolph was not to be found

Unfortunately it is one of the areas affected by the fires and where many people had to be evacuated. To this day we still do not know how things are doing there 😦 … Continúa leyendo Stop 2020, I want to get off

That was the starting point of this story, … Continúa leyendo Some good news during bad times

I opened a section called Misceláneas but it’s only in Rioplatense Spanish, with some expressions that are only understood in Argentina. Here’s a video from an American guy called Dustin Luke who used to live in Buenos Aires and explained something of … Continúa leyendo Here we go again

The trip that we took to Vietnam and Cambodia imparted many life lessons; I enjoyed it especially because I wasn’t really crazy about going there, even though that part of the world intrigued me, but these two countries were not the first on my list to visit.But when you are in a couple, decisions are taken together, and it was a destination that Barnaby had … Continúa leyendo Discovering Asia
In 2016 Barnaby and I decided to come to live to Portland, OR after a couple of years living in sin in Buenos Aires, the city in which I was born, raised and spent all my life. He wanted to return to his country and back to his house, and the good news was that I was included :)It was not an easy decision for … Continúa leyendo My blog in English (at last)
