GuiriGringaGirl: April 2009
http://guirigringagirl.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
From expat to repat via lots of meandering musings. Friday, April 10, 2009. I’ve been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently, which I suppose tends to happen when you write a travel blog and don’t actually go anywhere. But, having reached my three-month saturation point with the UK, I finally left the Ellie-shaped sofa-dip and headed back to Virginia for a fleeting visit. The pancakes were calling to me. Show-off. After learning enough interesting facts to fill a whole series of QI, we moved upst...

GuiriGringaGirl: December 2008
http://guirigringagirl.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
From expat to repat via lots of meandering musings. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. America, * * Yeah! Back in the States that are United. Or rather, brrrrr! Obviously Florida, our first port of call, kept us in the warmth to which we had become accustomed, and even supplied us with further wildlife viewing opportunities in the oh-so-elegant shape of a pair of river dolphins who frolicked merrily by our kayaks on the Indian Harbour River. However, DC was a little chilly. So we went for chili. We also (later)...

GuiriGringaGirl: Ah, Sunshine!
http://guirigringagirl.blogspot.com/2011/03/ah-sunshine.html
From expat to repat via lots of meandering musings. Friday, March 11, 2011. The best, and most cryptic, postcard I have received was from my Dad a couple of years ago. It simply read: “Nearly got hit on head by avocado. That would have been a way to go! Unfortunately, a stern sign warned us not to pick the avocado pears, and to be quiet so as not to disturb “other guests, who are important to us”. I disliked the implication. In an effort either to educate us or to get rid of us for a few hours so that th...

GuiriGringaGirl: November 2008
http://guirigringagirl.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
From expat to repat via lots of meandering musings. Thursday, November 27, 2008. What's in a Name? Http:/ www.urbandictionary.com/define.php? Being British, I'm not quite a 'gringa' (am not sure how I feel about being excluded from a term used to refer to a set of outsiders.). Refer to any non-Spanish speaker in Latin America, it is normally only used for Americans - which leads me on to another misnomer. My glib references to 'the American' ( a la.

GuiriGringaGirl: Ellie the Elephant
http://guirigringagirl.blogspot.com/2011/03/ellie-elephant.html
From expat to repat via lots of meandering musings. Thursday, March 24, 2011. And so to the final stage, and the part of SA that a nature geek like myself loves the most: animals. Finally, we arrived at Addo Elephant National Park, where we would spend the last three nights of our trip. The clue is in the title – it is all about the Ellies. (Isn’t it always?

From expat to repat via lots of meandering musings. Saturday, August 8, 2009. How Our Leopard Got Spotted. The leopard: a creature of mystery, of silent grace, an elusive shadow tantalisingly glimpsed in the half-light. Three years of living in Africa and several return trips had failed to produce a decent sighting of this most elegant of cats. The Kruger, www.krugerpark.co.za. Cheetah Cottage for the last braai.

GuiriGringaGirl: July 2009
http://guirigringagirl.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
From expat to repat via lots of meandering musings. Sunday, July 12, 2009. A Trip Down Memory Spain. I managed to find a decently-priced room through Roomates Sevilla www.roomates-sevilla.com/. And discovered on my first night that I was sharing with someone I already knew - Sevilla is indeed a small place! The only drawback was the fact that my room overlooked a school, so I was woken every morning by the shrill chirps of Spanish teenagers. Oh, how I have missed them. 2 Escape the heat of Sevilla and hi...

From expat to repat via lots of meandering musings. Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Triple Spaced Anger Issues. Just a very brief (and irate) note to say that I seem to be having trouble controlling the lines spaces in my blog entries. I realise it looks silly and is annoying to read, but count yourself lucky you're not the one trying to correct it. It's as if my computer doesn't get enough abuse already.
