Flamenco Museum

The Flamenco Museum in Sevilla has fantastic shows with artists who are appearing in other clubs in the city. The museum has a fascinating history of flamenco. After the show,  they offer a free tour of the Jewish history of the city.

Casa Patas, Madrid

Casa Patas is one of my favorite flamenco clubs in Madrid. The singer and dancer were like one entity here.

Eating out and Losing it

Madrid, Sept, 2010

The weird thing is, whenever I go on vacation, I lose weight. It makes no sense although, yeah, I'm gloating about it. This was a trip I took to Spain in 2010. I was lost somewhere in Madrid, trying to find a little flamenco club. I stopped to eat at a Gallego restaurant. First course: Mushrooms. I thought they would be a dainty little hors d'oeuvre 

Madrid, September 2010

but this was a gallego sized portion. Next course, was a huge plate of jamón with greens and chorizo and potatoes. Why did I ever order two courses? 
I need to lose a few pounds, so I'm looking forward to my trip to Italy this year

Alaska

Alaska, June 2010

Blogging in the past tense here. One of my first memorable trips, taken with my sister Linda and my brother Jon to Alaska. This was one of the highlights: a whale and a seal all in one shot. I didn't even get sea sick on the little boat. So this is my first entry for a new travel blog.
