ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
Since we left the Bay Area, we try to return periodically for a week or so to check in on family and see friends. We visited just before this past Christmas, intending to do the same, but we wound up doing a lot more on this trip.
Who said retirement was easy? Homeownership is no walk in the park either. While we were in France, we had decided we weren’t going to rent our condo any more. That decision lead to planning improvements and new purchases for our condo in Mexico.
As is customary, we returned from Spain to the Bay Area before we went to Scottsdale for five weeks. In this article, I’ll tell you about the interesting things we did in both places. Spoiler Alert: it involved lots of food. So this article is full of food p*rn. Enjoy.
October in Scottsdale was a big month for medical activities for me. My experience involved several surgeries, crutches, physical therapy, and a significant reduction in pain!
Following our extensive stay in Bordeaux, we planned to fly back to the Bay Area from Bilbao Spain. On the way to Bilbao, we decided to stop in San Sebastian, Spain, one of the great food cities of the world. Although we were only in town for a couple of nights, we managed to get our fill of fabulous pintxos, some of our favorite local dishes.
