There's sand in my latte. The expat adventures of a Pacific NW family transplanted from Seattle to Dubai. .and back again. Monday, March 14, 2011. This is the dawning of the rest of our lives on holiday. The fantastic Antwerp Train Station. Station we'd severely misjudged where our ride, train car #18 would be. Far down the line, right? We'd waited somewhat down the tunnel and when our train rolled in the. But that's not us. If you think that sounds Mork. And Mindy, you should have seen the room. One...

There's sand in my latte. The expat adventures of a Pacific NW family transplanted from Seattle to Dubai. .and back again. Sunday, December 26, 2010. Green grass and high tides forever, castles of stone souls and glory. Our journey would be much more prosaic, of course. A train, and then a bus, and we had no intention of wandering out onto the tidal flats, though one can, with a guide, if you're wise. Feel guilty whenever we go through questioning at airport security. With the floods of tourists, we watc...

There's sand in my latte. The expat adventures of a Pacific NW family transplanted from Seattle to Dubai. .and back again. Thursday, June 2, 2011. I hope you had the time of your life. Well it's time. Mike took me aside and in the too-gentle voice one would use with an unbalanced and fragile or potentially dangerous individual told me that it's time. Time to end the blog. And even then it took me forever. Here is the last story. It is small, but it's meaningful to me. Now, the comparably lucky flag-waver...

We had devoted the next three days in Normandy to visiting and learning about WWII related sites in the region. You may ask at this point,. Why would you spend your vacation on war?

Thoughtful, if prickly fellow. Really good Antwerp architecture. There is something very nice in this. In nearby Mechelen,. Since 1272, probably the largest and certainly oldest procession is held every year to thank the Virgin for freeing the city from plague. 739 years and counting. That's gratitude. Sometim...

With the victory of Notre Dame (the cathedral, darn it, not the football team! Firmly under our belts and soaring in our minds, there was only one thing to do. I mean, besides eat and have more coffee and more wine. (Those are a given.) The thing to do was to take a train out to Versailles Palace. Let me tell you. So here came Mike an...

It's raining.it's pouring.but I ain't complaining.'cause I love the rain. Back in the States. For some reason I expected it to be easy. In some ways it was. And in other ways, it wasn't.

Blue Mosque minaret detail, Istanbul. For a while there, it was uncertain as to where we were going next with spousal unit Mike's work. As you know, we ended up back in our old house in Seattle.
