We Never had Paris.

Posted on 10/31/202010/31/2020 by margrad80

During my last dinner with Gina we talked about meeting up in Paris in 2020. You might think that Covid19 upset our plans, but it was much worse than that. Covid would have just been a delay, a year or a decade. A few months after I left Warsaw Gina was diagnosed with cancer. Seven…

A Year of Nomadic Foods

Posted on 09/06/2019 by margrad80

After I sold my place in Honolulu, I was able to stay at a friends place until it was time for me to fly out. I really had no idea of when or even if I would be returning. I have to say, that during that time I ran around eating all my favorite Hawaiian…

Last Days in Warsaw: 2019

Posted on 07/21/2019 by margrad80

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…

Leaving Warsaw: July 9, 2019

Posted on 07/09/2019 by margrad80

Wow, it is hard to believe that my three months in Warsaw are over. Last night I got together with friends for one last meal at my favorite restaurant in Warsaw, Da Aldos. We were served by our favorite waitress. As usual, she was outstanding. I love the fact that the restaurants in europe still…

Noodling around Warsaw: June 22 -25, 2019

Posted on 06/25/2019 by margrad80

I am really, really burnt out on Polish history, statues, and monuments. What follows is what happens when I just go walking each day with no goal in mind. No museums, no, monuments, and no statues. Okay, one statue, but it has no history attached to it. Enjoy! The other day I put my keys…

Busing, Walking, and Riding in Warsaw: June 19, 2019

Posted on 06/25/2019 by margrad80

After my misdirection the day before, I headed out again, trying to make it to Łazienki Park. I went to the tram stop near my place. As I waited I looked at the transit directions in Google Maps and decided that I would rather take the 116 which I had taken home once before. To…

A Mistake Rules the Day in Warsaw: June 17, 2019

Posted on 06/24/2019 by margrad80

I decided to head over to go to the sprawling Łazienki Park. I had walked there before, and realized that if I walked round trip, I wouldn’t have any energy left to walk about the park. I checked out Google maps and saw that I could take the 17 tram, connecting to the 10 tram,…

Walking, riding, drinking, and eating in Warsaw: June 16, 2019

Posted on 06/23/201906/23/2019 by margrad80

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…

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…

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.
