Posted on 12/28/201806/11/2019 by margrad80

When I finished my work today, I went for a walk downtown. I had expected that since it was christmas eve, there would be few people out. That was way off the mark. All the cafes in the little plazzas were filled, as were most all the park benches. Street musicians were playing while people…

My Inconvenient Live

I am a retired American Merchant Mariner.  l was living a nomadic lifestyle somewhere between being a nomad and an expat, before Covid19. I moved from country to country as my visas ran out. This blog covered my travels and the random thoughts about life, technology, travel, and the Oxford comma. Now I am stuck waiting for the pandemic to pass. During this time my posts will have very little to do with traveling, and more to do with keeping myself entertained during lockdown.
