ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
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.
Food is one of the great joys of travel and our roving retirement. In Nice, the food is primarily a mélange of French, Italian, and Nicoise styles, with a generous sprinkling of foreign cuisines.
