September Fiestas in the Pueblo
It is so common for pueblos and cities in Spain to have patron saints and town wide festivals in their honor. The tiny village of Biniamar has the patrona Santa Tecla, and festivities in her honor are in mid-September. There were several days of events, including a play, several processions, and even an event celebrating…

Train/Bike to Platja de Muro
Summer is H O T in Mallorca. This summer my family and I were much more sedentary than we have been in the past summers. In part our home air conditioning situation was not ideal (weeks of delays on installation), so our main coping strategy was keeping things slow. Keeping things slow meant that we…

Golden Light on a Friday Morning, Mallorca
The mornings are changing dramatically, in routine as well as visual quality as September has been marching on. School has started again, and that brings earlier mornings interacting with the world, and a commute that forces a change in view and relationships to the world around me. I have been arriving with the kids very…

New Years BERLIN > BUDAPEST > BERLIN Trip
It’s August already, and I’m finally sitting down to put this piece together about a whirlwind three-day continental European adventure over New Year’s 2026.

May Trip to London
For travel planning I have two main methods. 1) Set the date months in advance, or 2) leave this week. In May of 2026 we took a last minute trip to London, a city we’ve been to a few times on 48 hour layovers between Kazakhstan and the United States, but this was our first…

Binissalem Car Show
Passion is contagious. The people who buy, restore, maintain, and drive old cars clearly have a lot of love for their vehicles, and it is great fun to see the fruits of their labors. Over the weekend every inch of available space around the main plaza was occupied by beautiful old cars. Walking through the…

Vehicles of Mallorca
I don’t drive. I can drive, however my wife and I sold our car before we moved to Kazakhstan in 2015 and neither of us have felt the need to get one since then. Mostly I get around by bicycle, public transit or walking. It works great. As a person who doesn’t drive, I often…

Don’t Forget to Look Down
It’s the details. Most sidewalks that I grew up with were a very specific type in the United States, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) late ’30’s poured concrete type that were ubiquitous in my hometown. These days sidewalks, and walkways in general, are likely to be of some sort of pattern of large concrete tiles.…
