Galicia: The Ireland of Spain

Spaniards say the northern region of Galicia is home to some of the best food and wine around. So when Mr. Dame in Spain’s mom and stepdad come to Spain for a visit, we figured Galicia – situated above Portugal and surrounded on two sides by Atlantic Ocean – would be perfect for a four-day […]

Best Bites: Spain To Date

There are two types of people: Those who enjoy looking at pictures of other peoples’ food, and those who do not. This feature is for the first group. If you’re part of the latter group, can I direct to earlier posts on home decor or cats? Welcome to a new regular The Dame in Spain […]

The Cultural Adjustment Cycle

Wednesday was a red letter day for me in Spain. I successfully asked for all of my desired vegetables in the market, got my hair cut and highlighted (and even cracked a joke with my stylist!), and, most importantly, after spending four hours over the past several days on the truly terrible RENFE website (Spain’s […]

El Gimnasio Español

Mr.Dame in Spain and I are very frequent gym-goers, some might say gym rats. I wouldn’t call us that because it implies that I work out in nothing but a sports bra and he in a tank with armpit holes so big you could see his belly button and that we both slurp powdery protein […]

The Six Stages of Being Lost in a Foreign City

Today, I went out to run a quick errand. I spent the next two-and-a-half hours being lost. First, I was joyfully lost. Then I was hopelessly lost. I think I experienced at least a dozen human emotions today before 2pm. The arc pretty much followed this, the Six Stages of Being Lost in a Foreign […]

Overnight Trip to Toledo

I’ve done quick trips to Toledo before. But that was Toledo, Ohio. And let me tell you, the Toledo Zoo didn’t prepare me for the stunning architecture, winding cobblestone streets, and lively feel of Toledo, Spain. A day after trekking through Segovia, Mr.Dame in Spain and I took the high-speed train from Madrid to Toledo. […]

Day Trip to Segovia

I must be in an exploration-type mood this weekend. On Saturday, I went on a day trip to Segovia, and today, we’re going to check out another nearby, ancient town: Toledo. On Saturday, I got myself to Segovia early, at least, Spanish early, which means I arrived by 11am. This involved taking the subway, an […]

Still a few more months until proper swimming weather but these kids are braving the cold water.
Working from my stand-up desk (aka, the boho bar) and Boj just wants to be where I am.
Is there a Skillshare class that teaches you what to do with your hands when you pose for a photo? Asking for me.
Magnificent sunset.
One very good thing about being back in Michigan: the restaurants have reopened! Revisited one of my teenage favorites, @savas_ann_arbor, which used to be a hippy vegetarian restaurant in a basement. Now it’s bright and stylish with an extra delicious menu.
Had a super fun weekend getaway with the nieces at the winter wonderland of @boyne.highlands. Tubing, zipline, a super heated outdoor pool, and my favorite: Cross-country skiing.
