Summering in Spain!
So I am currently sitting by myself on a 10th-floor balcony in Mallorca, Spain. It is 9:45pm, and the sun is just about finished setting. The temperature is about perfect, and there is a slight breeze coming off the water. As I was sitting here just enjoying the moment, classical music randomly started playing loudly … Continue reading Summering in Spain!
Doodle-Bug’s Big Day
Hola! Today was a big day for a little car...a car that shall henceforth be called Doodle-Bug!

Catching up by way of a photo blog post
Hola! It's definitely been a while! I keep doing things and saying, "Imma blog about this," but then I don't blog. That's a good thing, trust me. The less I blog, the more adjusted I feel!

Adjustments
5 Marzo 2016 ¡Hola! It's been quite some time since I last posted! But you know what they say...no news is good news!

La Isla Ometepe: The Mystical Island of Wrong Information
¡Buenas! I don't even know how to write this post since it feels like there is so much to include! The whole week since we left La Mariposa has been so crazy!

Granada, Nicaragua
¡Hola! Today was a great day, so I figured I may as well write a quick post and share some pics. I'm posting from my phone again, so I'm not going to be too literary or detailed or anything.
