the unencumbered life: November 2013
http://the-unencumbered-life.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Final" pictures are here. In parting, here's a list of observations we've made:. Doesn't look like anything has changed in years.about 400 years. Muted colors, void of decorations.except in alpine - colorful with attention to decorative details. Roads through villages were built after the advent of automobile = no wider than footpath in some places. People are still very connected to the soil. Lifestyle is much less stressful.slower. Loud - scooters everywhere. Much more moun...

the unencumbered life: July 2012
http://the-unencumbered-life.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 16, 2012. We slept in our new home for the first time Saturday night. It was a rainy night/morning and we didn’t have to trek across the soggy yard in our bathrobes and slippers. It is good to be home. No, we are not finished…but we’re close. Our first summer guests are expected later this week and the reds (sockeye salmon) have started running in the Kenai River. We need to finish the house so that we can turn our attention to both. And probably limit out on yearly permit as well!

the unencumbered life: Madrid
http://the-unencumbered-life.blogspot.com/2014/12/madrid.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2014. Lleida to Madrid was about a six-hour drive and we had our sights on strolling through El Rastro, Madrid’s every Sunday open air flea market. Merchants fold up their tents and tables at 3:00 so we got an early start. Craggy hills to wide open plains. The Osborne bull: 46 ft high black silhouetted. Image of a bull. In semi-profile. Swatches of windmills. Towns with prominent domed churches. An army procession. Even a rainbow. Show Pam and I resisted. He won. Villa Rosa, ...

Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Garage is about done.for this year. Last of our company is safe and sound back home. Greg's mom, Taz, sold her home and the shed is cleaned out.

State Patrol let him tie up and pull the moose off the road but wouldn't let him keep it. Next day we topped off in Tok before heading toward Chicken. Greg took our camper u...

Tuesday, December 2, 2014. The computer wouldn’t boot and I got behind on my travel postings. Turns out there was a software malfunction that corrected itself upon our return stateside. Have no idea who reads these posts but they serve as excellent reminders to me of travels past, so even though I’m two weeks late here is the rest of Spain 2014. The posts are in chronological order. Mary, Mary Quite Contrary. Mary, Mary Quite Contrary. We headed toward Granada looking for a place to lay our heads that wa...

Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Have about half the halibut we want for our “quota”. Could halibut fish every day if conditions were right. Love the water, the peacefulness, the scenery, the time with my honey, the “hit” and reeling in. Having food for the freezer to share is a bonus. Took Stan (the camper) to pick up Hannah and Nick on Friday. Realized this is Hannah’s sixth visit to Alaska (! Ten times. And they have pictures to prove it. Awesome. Mary, Mary Quite Contrary. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. We were sup...

the unencumbered life: Cartagena aka Carthage
http://the-unencumbered-life.blogspot.com/2014/12/cartagena-aka-carthage.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2014. My plan was to “do” the Andalusian countryside, maybe take in Granada, Seville, and Cordoba. Cullera wasn’t on the original list. Neither was Cartagena or Carthage to those who know their Roman history. Greg saw it on the map and said he was interested so that was the direction we pointed the car. Mary, Mary Quite Contrary.
