Xarxa Teatre from Spain, put on a performance here in Perth of Veles e Vents. Thanks to a friend letting us know about the event, John got hit with the idea almost right about coming home time. 🙂 He agreed to take me. The performance is inspired by the work...
We have so many October birthdays in our family, but Enric’s is the one who started it all. I am sad and sorry I can’t be with him, but looking forward to one of our silly and crazy family celebrations very soon. Enric was the first baby to our...
No matter where I am in the world, I am far from someone I love. Petra (from Holland) who lived with us for a year as an exchange student and quickly became family, along with Marta and Pepe (from Spain), who I met in Yahoo online, are also friends. They...
I told Alejandra, I wouldn’t say good-bye, I’d say, “Until the next time.” We should be used to good-byes around here, but they’re never easy for me. She made it back to Spain and this morning when I woke up, her room seemed SO EMPTY. Well, she might not be...

In 1998 our family took a trip to Spain. I am just now able to take the movies from the video camera and get them onto a DVD. (thanks Roger!) I chose this excerpt, as I love the area of Lleida. It’s a great place to explore and the shopping...
38 KM from Barcelona, appears from flat plains, what seems to be a freak of nature, the mountain range of Montserrat, 1,236 meters above sea level. It’s beauty is rare, and every day it shows you something new. Montserrat is also home to one of the most popular pilgrimage destinations...
Today I thought it is about time I started doing more scanning. Even before digital, I took a lot of photos and have two boxes full. (I should start scrapbooking too, perhaps!). Today I thought I would share some from Monistrol, Spain. From Wikipedia: Monistrol de Montserrat is a municipality...
