Prado y Pandas

October 3, 2017 by strohohanatravelogue

While attempting to purchase online tickets for el Museo del Prado, I discovered that you can visit this famous art museum (one of the five most visited sites in the world) for free during the last two hours of each day. As we had already purchased a two day city tour hop on and off bus ticket, I carefully planned that for the 2nd day, Sunday we could enjoy a tour of modern Madrid, have something to eat and arrive […]

Porto. Our farewell to Portugal.

October 1, 2017 by strohohanatravelogue

We have spent 27 days in this intriguing and welcoming country. Much more than parks, palaces and museums, what has made this visit memorable for me was meeting and talking to the people of Portugal. The countless cafes and pastelarias (pastry and snack shops) that we visited in Ponta Delgada on the Island of São Miguel, Sintra, Lisbon and Porto were for the most part far from the popular tourist areas but instead were ‘around the corner’ and always […]

He informed us that the trolley was about to depart in 10 […]

September 10, 2017 by strohohanatravelogue

I really wanted my first blog from abroad to be full of optimism as I am in the early stages of fulfilling a life long aspiration to journey. I have always wanted to travel and it is happening now on the largest scale imaginable. Did I mention I am a homebody with a tendency to isolate? Post crazy last few months of simplifying (a dirty word in our house meaning to throw out), selling, packing and giving away […]

love affair with clothing

June 30, 2017 by strohohanatravelogue

I have always had a love affair with clothing. It began when I was twenty and I got my first retail job at United Colors of Benetton. I loved that job dressing people in well-cut Italian clothing, always looking great at work and squeezing my feet into impossibly high heels. My tastes have evolved over the years, sometimes great looks and sometimes less than great. I usually like to come up with a name for my current style, for example […]
