| 12th November 2009 Jarek | :D - From: Allons enfants de la Patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrivé! Może wpadniesz do Polski porobić parę zdjęć? :) to blisko..;) |
| 11th November 2009 Dad~ | - From: Aix-En-Provence Uncle Bruce wants to know why you didn't contact him about Aix before you left. I'd like to try those calissons. |
| 11th November 2009 Dad~ | The Little Prince - From: Oilà from Monaco (and Menton)! I laughed when I read the "Le Petit Prince" caption on your beach photo. That's how we affectionately refer to you here. Monaco is beautiful as expected. |
| 11th November 2009 anonymous | - From: La Ville de Marseille That fountain is really gorgeous! PS- Julia Child lived at 28-A Quai de Rive Neuve, on the fifth floor of a pale-beige art-deco building with distinctive wave-patterned metal railings....or so says her auto-biography...wonder if you passed it and didn't even know |
| 11th November 2009 Bryan | J'M MRS - From: La Ville de Marseille I'm so glad you loved Marseille. Looking forward to hearing about day 2. ...and FISCHER?! HAHAHAHAHA! Yay, I love you. I think M. Jasset will also be glad you found la bière blonde d'Alsace, which, j'en suis sûr, kept him company many an evening. Have y'all been so fortunate as to find Desperados yet? ;-) |
| 10th November 2009 Bryan | Oh - From: Aix-En-Provence ..and some of those photos are absolutely gorgeous |
| 10th November 2009 Bryan | Aix me manque - From: Aix-En-Provence You know I love Aix, so I'm glad you're going to give it another try. Why the hell did you stay in a shit-hole?! ;-) Peut-être on peut y aller ensemble en mai/juin... |
| 9th November 2009 Bryanie | Um... - From: Nicæa civitas I hope you bought that pink & gold tea set for me. It will go perfectly with my china. |
| 9th November 2009 Bryanie | I can't wait... - From: Day one on the French Riviera - Bella Nissa ...to go back to Nice! Looks like you've gotten to explore way more than I ever did, so I want tips! |
| 9th November 2009 Bryanie | fun! - From: Killing Time in Toulouse I want oysters...AND that lady's hat! |
| 9th November 2009 Ii | - From: Oilà from Monaco (and Menton)! I was hoping to see the photo of you on the beach -- wearing that scarf. Oh, it makes me smile -- and miss you even more! |
| 9th November 2009 Ii | - From: Nicæa civitas Oh, Jeff, you look marvelously handsome and happy! Please say hello to your traveling companions from me. I'm so enjoying reading your blogs. You're giving me a tour and I didn't even have to pack! By the way, the marzipan mushrooms (red with white spots) look so real! |
| 9th November 2009 Ii | - From: Day one on the French Riviera - Bella Nissa Oh, I just love your descriptions of food and surroundings. My only concern is how will you be able to enjoy the simple fare Uncle Ray and I serve on Christmas Day? Just kidding..... |
| 9th November 2009 Mom | - From: Oilà from Monaco (and Menton)! Surprise - got your ghetto-stamped postcard from Monaco yesterday (Saturday). The stamp was not very secure but it was there. I was amazed at how quickly we got it considering the postmark was dated 11/3/09! |
| 9th November 2009 Mom | - From: Nicæa civitas Hey, thanks for keeping an eye out for fireking peach lustre! Don't forget about those sparkly stretchy bracelets. |
| 23rd October 2009 Dad~ | Best Food Pix Ever! - From: La Fira de San Ermengol Between the olives & chicharrones your mother & I were near tears. I wouldn't blame you if you never came back home. What are you supposed to do with the half pig faces? Chew on them? Are they for human consumption? Great festival. |
| 23rd October 2009 Ii | Loved the food photos! - From: La Fira de San Ermengol Oh, what great food shots! I love the pig faces! Uncle Ray and I took photos of the food platters at our resort in Punta Cana but yours far surpass what we ate! At dinner one evening, while we were snapping photos of the food we were about to eat, we felt the stares of diners at surrounding tables. I proudly announced that we ALWAYS take food photos! We then saw flashes of cameras all around us as others did the same! Ii |
| 23rd October 2009 peter | - From: La Fira de San Ermengol I really wish they sold dried pig's faces here in Boston. |
| 17th October 2009 Bryan | où sont les apostrophes? - From: La vida segueix... Did the apostrophe key on your computer break, chéri? Also, Im quite intrigued by that chicken. It looks like one of the ladies you encountered on the beach in eSpain. We are awaiting your shipment of croissants and those All-Saints little breads. Peter also requests that you send Euro. ...and Kinder Hippos. Gràcies. B |
| 16th October 2009 Mom | - From: La vida segueix... OMG - get me some of that food! |
| 1st October 2009 PM | - From: Un Palau, Sisplau Looks great! Can't wait to visit! |
| 30th September 2009 Lou | - From: Un Palau, Sisplau I dig it. Looks very clean. Love the fireplace! You might like drying your clothes on the line--it'll be a true mountain air scent, not the dryer sheet kind. I'd be more pissed about the electric stove, bleh. So glad it all worked out for you and you're out of the shit-hole! |
| 30th September 2009 christopher Bowen | wow - From: Un Palau, Sisplau i'm impressed! |
| 30th September 2009 Dad~ | Congratulations on the new Apartment - From: Un Palau, Sisplau The apartment looks great and even comes with a bidet - how European. I'll be curious how drying clothes on the line will work in the winter, but Busia dealt with it raising 4 children so I'm sure you'll manage. You may want to get some indoor collapsible clothes drying racks. The location seems perfect - well done! |
| 30th September 2009 Ii | Your New Home - From: Un Palau, Sisplau Oh, what a beautiful home. I love the views. Are you using a hair dryer to dry your clothes? Just kidding. I really enjoy reading your blogs. It's a perfect way to share your experiences. Luv you! |
| 22nd September 2009 Kim | - From: Ordino......and food Gosh... this looks amazing. I'm so unbelievely jealous. Kinder hippos=delicious. |
| 21st September 2009 Dad~ | “Tipic d’Andorra” - From: Ordino......and food So how was the awful looking “Tipic d’Andorra”? |
| 20th September 2009 Bryan | my next address - From: Ordino......and food I want to live at the casa de formatge, si us plau. |
| 20th September 2009 lou | the tessa. - From: Ordino......and food ina would approve the tarte tatin. |
| 18th September 2009 Dad~ | - From: La vida quotidiana Glad to hear that Andorran teenagers are as obnoxious as any other. Paulo suggesting to bring prostitutes to a picnic during your ice-breaker did make me laugh. As you get into your routine I expected you'd be reporting more about what you eat than anything else. You didn't disappoint. Pyrenees 2 sounds like a "cheese heaven". Put it on our sightseeing list. What a nice coincidence to have Kasia's cousin coming to Andorra. I'd suggest asking for Polish dried mushrooms or honey. You can make mushroom soup for your fellow Fulbrights. Save those newspaper clips for your mother. Good luck on the apartment. Love, Dad~ |
| 18th September 2009 Mom | - From: La vida quotidiana Decapitating quails! What next?? Can you imagine playing Balderdash with those kids??!!! Hope you get that apartment! |
| 14th September 2009 anonymous | - From: La Vida Madrileña plaza 2 de mayo!! omg!! thats awesome!! hola a flora!! la has visto ya?! |
| 12th September 2009 SlavicNerd | - From: Oh Hey Madrid! Hmm...It was near Moncloa at a small restaurant with a terrace outdoors. It was near Chapandas, the Leche de Pantera bar. Unfortunately I can't remember anything more specific! |
| 12th September 2009 Judy | Pastela - From: Oh Hey Madrid! Where dd you have the pastela...looked delicious. |
| 11th September 2009 PM | - From: Oh Hey Madrid! Jeff, It seems that the food in Spain is much cheaper in the major cities than in a place like Paris. Is this true for the majority of the places you have been so far? |
| 11th September 2009 Bryan Fleming | MMMMM...Madrid - From: La Vida Madrileña Döner makes me happy. |
| 11th September 2009 Lou | Just cause I've never commented... - From: Oh Hey Madrid! Send ham. You can't pull off the fur. Have fun! That's all. |
| 10th September 2009 Kim | WOW - From: Visc aquí? So this might be a little stalker-y but I'm applying for the Fulbright for next year and was looking online for info about the program and what not. Your blog has been REALLY helpful to continue to encourage me to apply! Would you be willing to email with me about some questions I have about Andorra and the logistics of the Fulbright? I know you probably are super busy and don't have a lot of time but I would really appreciate it! And as for the residency permit, consider yourself lucky you can get it that soon! In France I applied for it in Oct and didn't get it till Jan. Yeah, you heard me. Oh France and your ways, how I miss it :) That means we couldn't leave France except to go back to our own country in that time frame! And the pastis is cheaper in Andorra than in France, surprisingly. I hope all is going well! Kim |
| 9th September 2009 Mom | - From: A L'Estany Junclar! Wow! Gorgeous! Just don't kill yourself mountain climbing before you start teaching!! |
| 7th September 2009 Bryanie | Raclette machines! - From: A L'Estany Junclar! I know what you can get me for Christmas! lol Sounds like a spectacular day; the mountains look amazing! |
| 4th September 2009 Mom | - From: Livin' in the 'dorra Noticed the new photo. Nice. The school and its mountain views remind me of the Montessori school we visited in Guatemala last year. I can't believe you are going to be teaching! |
| 4th September 2009 PM | - From: Livin' in the 'dorra How exciting! I'm thrilled you found this cookbook. If it produces good food, you will have to translate the whole thing for us! The class you are teaching sounds like it will be fun |
| 3rd September 2009 Dad~ | Where's the Mussel Dish? - From: Visc aquí? Sounds like a stimulating beginning to your stay in Andorra. I'm glad to hear everyone is getting along well - you all seem like birds of a feather. Most importantly, where's the photo of the mussel dish? It didn't upload. All you see is the description. |
| 3rd September 2009 Bobo | picture - From: Iiiiii m'estic a Andorra...que estrany can you please change your picture. you look like a 10 year old muscrat... or mouse.... or something weird. why not put that nice picture of you from the beach.. you know the one from san joan? |
| 2nd September 2009 Dad~ | Settling In - From: Iiiiii m'estic a Andorra...que estrany Sounds like Andorra will be a good fit for you. The scenery looks incredible and it sounds like you & your fellow Fulbrights will become fast friends. |
| 2nd September 2009 PM | - From: Iiiiii m'estic a Andorra...que estrany Can't wait to hear more about the charming sections! The place looks like a secret village tucked away in a hidden valley! |
| 2nd September 2009 Maureen | - From: Iiiiii m'estic a Andorra...que estrany BEAUTIFUL!!!! |
| 2nd September 2009 Ii | Finally - From: Iiiiii m'estic a Andorra...que estrany Well, I've finally had a chance to write a note -- and you've finally arrived! The photos of both food and scenery are thrilling and sometimes scary (just the squid and stuff). I've so enjoyed reading your blogs; writing travel journals/books could be a lucrative side job for you! Love, Your Ii |
| 1st September 2009 Mary Bainter | What's up with the food? - From: ByeBye Barcelona! Hi Jeff. I enjoyed reading your travel stories. It reminds me of the ones I wrote on my travels with your mom to Disneyland. I too had to write about every minute detail. I can't imagine eating anything that you ate throughout your trip except for the donut and coffee at McDonald's. As you might have guessed, I am not a big gourmet. Remind me to tell you about Mike's experience with Paella. It was quite amusing. Have a great year in 'Angora'. I'll keep reading about your adventures. |
| 31st August 2009 Dad~ | Whoville? - From: ByeBye Barcelona! Parc Guell looks a little like Dr. Seuss' "Whoville" or the decor at Cheesecake Factory. |
