This first part is about my experience in Medellin. Click here to skip straight to the food. Actually when I am bored, I think about food, I plan food, I shop for food, and I eat. I have been in Medellin for nearly a month now, and I feel that I have to make one…

Murder Capital of the World: Meh
It is hard to believe that this is the city, which was dubbed the Murder Capital of the World over 25 years ago. Today Medellin is a vibrant relatively safe city. It is a large city, with homeless, petty thieves, drunks, prostitutes, and the expected number of murders in those areas of the city where…
A Transition: July 10 – 17, 2017
I was sad to leave Warsaw. In some ways it wasn’t as fun as Mexico or Ecuador, but in overall lifestyle, it fitted me well. It is a bummer that I was limited to 90 days in a 180 period in Poland. If it weren’t going to be winter when I leave here, I would…
Last Days in Warsaw: 2019
This post will be published out of order, since I decided that the story of my last few days in Warsaw really didn’t need to be written if I got pressed for time. As it turns out, I have found myself with some time on my hands here in Medellin, Colombia. The apartment here is…
Walking, riding, drinking, and eating in Warsaw: June 16, 2019
I have been avoiding museums lately. There is only so much pain and suffering this country has gone through that I can take. I have been passing what time, when I am not on the computer, out walking around the parks and neighborhoods of the city. More than museums and cemeteries, this city is filled…
Eating Around Warsaw: June 6 – 9, 2019
To be perfectly honest, I am getting tired of living in Warsaw. I am ready to move on, but there is another month to go before I leave. This is not the first place I have lived at that has bored me after two months. When my social security kicks in I am going to…
Real International Pancakes!
I still find Polish food to be very good, even though I am getting bored with Warsaw. The Carrefour down the street has a potato pancakes. I used to love going to the International House of Pancakes and getting the potato pancakes with applesauce and sour cream. I stopped going there when they stopped serving…
Warsaw: May 31 – June 03, 2019
As May was drawing to an end, I really didn’t feel like going to a museum, but I needed to get some exercise, so I walked down to Saxon park to get a better photograph of the statue I had photographed walking back from the Royal Castle. It was as I suspected. In was another…
To The Castle and back
I did a walk one day to see one statue, but there wasn’t enough to do a blog post on it, so I have just put them into this blog, because, had I walked down a parallel street I would have passed this statue on on the way to the Castle. I find the sidewalks…
Come Drink the Wine
Okay I am totally stealing that title from a book I used to have. I wasn’t able to find it by Googling so maybe I have the name wrong. But that won’t prevent me from telling the story. The book was fictional, perhaps a romance. I had just moved and my then husband was helping…
