Ha ha, it is funny this topic came up. Yesterday my husband and I made Nicoise salad for lunch, with canned tuna. This made us remember the ensalada mixta in Spain and how it always has tuna and we were saying how much more we like the tuna on...
I'm on day three back at work from walking the Camino Frances. I feel a bit homesick. I could have lived that life indefinitely I think. I wasn't ready for it to be over, when it was over.
My wife said it best: "The Camino is what the...
