ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
The next stop on our roving retirement Spain & Portugal tour was Tarragona, a bit southwest of Barcelona. After a little research, I found that Tarragona has Roman Ruins that are listed by UNESCO and I’m all over that. In addition, there is a small beach town a little south of Tarragona called Salou that we check out.
One of the special things about our roving retirement nomadic life is sampling all of the food and wine available in the places we visit. So, we decided to take the time to visit both the wine regions of Penedès and Priorat, which are inland from Barcelona and Tarragona.
Neither Mike nor I had ever visited Barcelona before so we figured we would try to see as much as we could in the week we were there. But we also made time to wander in many interesting neighborhoods.
We are at the end of our 4-week stay in Scottsdale. As always, it is a little sad to go. Over the last few weeks we had a chance to watch the Giants beat the Diamondbacks, play golf, plan future travel, and have some great meals.
Our final few weeks in Oahu Hawaii had us visiting all of the famous sites. The highlights of our last week in the islands included a visit to Pearl Harbor, an island cruise and more Monkeypod Mai Tai’s.
