New Holiday – Lars And I Created Sibling Day!
How did we come up with Sibling Day?
Lars and I were hanging out in his room and just chit-chatting over Christmas break. We were thinking that there are special days for Parents and Grandparents, but we thought there should be a sibling day too. So, we decided to make our own. We thought we should each have our own day and they should be called Bro Day (Brother’s Day) and Sis Day (Sister’s Day). Continue reading
5 Days of Celebration In Almuñécar – Día de Andalucía and Carnaval 2014
Let me just start by saying “I love our Spanish town of Almuñécar”. As with most places in Spain, there is always something to celebrate and this weekend was no exception. The town is full of tourists and there is an energy we just love. For the past 5 days, we have been partaking in parades, parties, friends and tourist sites. I will just warn you, I am wiped out, so be prepared for me to just ramble on in this post.
The Eve Of The New Year (2014)
We each have our 12 grapes ready to go and the fireworks have been booming here and there all night.

So it appears at first glance that it is a “Flowers” day, just as it is in the U.S.. Continue reading

What is a “Must” for places to see in Paris?
Of all the places to see in Paris, what is a must? Well, if you’re like Anya, it’s the Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel). Even before we moved to Spain, she was talking about how she wanted to go to France, and visit the Eiffel Tower. As you know, we spent the Christmas holiday in Paris with my mom. There was a lot of walking involved, but Paris is truly a beautiful city. Heidi and I first visited on our 1 year wedding Anniversary and were forever touched by Paris the city of love.
