It’s the REAL Easter!
The title refers to something that I said when I was a kid. I don’t really remember it very well, but the story has been retold to me enough that I know it definitely happened! Apparently on Easter when I was around 4-years-old we were sitting in the pew at church and all of the […]

Semana Santa in the South of Spain
Six years ago I spent Semana Santa, or Holy Week, traveling the south of Spain with my good friend Camila. She and I had a week off from classes and decided to take a train down to Malaga, Granada and Sevilla for one of the best and most beautiful weeks of my entire study abroad […]

Javi and I prefer to […]

A few healthy meal ideas! / Recetas saludables!
Our diet has changed drastically since February 13 when we decided to follow the P90X nutrition plan in addition to doing the workouts. It’s hard to believe that we were posting about eating nachos and pigs in a blanket only a few weeks prior to making changes. For me, the hardest part of the program […]

Our Ferocious Pups
Ok they’re actually quite gentle and sweet (once they calm down and stop jumping up on you to say hello – we’re still working on the “off” command) – but these photos might suggest otherwise if you didn’t know Chupi and Chori. On Sunday we spent the whole day working on bookshelves and painting things […]
