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
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
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
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…

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…
