The Journey begins........ Segovia

Love Spain!
Not been to Segovia yet, or Valencia. I can recommend the jamon iberico, unless you're vegetarian. Enjoy your travels.

Beautiful Segovia
I love it! There are few places in Spain that can rival Segovia for charm. I’m glad to see you enjoying it so much, and I think it’s the perfect place to break back into traveling, because it’s small and chill but also has a lot to offer. I see you’ve been enjoying tortilla española—one of my favorites!! I never would’ve thought a potato omelette would be so appealing, but the Spanish really know how to do it. I wish I liked the jamón but I think it’s gross. I remember my Spanish family bringing home a whole haunch just like the ones you photographed; it just sat on the kitchen counter for weeks and they carved out slices whenever they wanted it. It was not pretty but they were excited about it. Also, is that blood sausage I see on the pork fried rice?? Now that, I actually liked a lot. Be sure to get some paella in Valencia! I wish I could recommend some wines, but I was not a wine drinker when I was there in my early 20’s (hard to imagine, I know). What an opportunity lost. But Spain has wonderful sangria and I do recommend sitting down with a pitcher and some tapas some evening; it’s rare to find sangria that good in the US (it’s not sickeningly sweet there, like it usually is here, unless you are unlucky and hit up the wrong place, haha. That only happened to me once). Ask the locals where to go. “Dónde puedo encontrarme con la mejor sangria?”

Of Course You're Back!
D & beautiful MJ. Hearing/seeing that you are traveling again makes me so happy... and feels like a green light to start an new adventure. I have missed your blogs. Best regards, Stephanie

On the Road Again
Great to see that you guys are on the road again. Half your luck - we're still imprisoned in our homes. We loved Segovia, and sounds like you did too - we though the Cathedral was spectacular, as were the Castle and the Aqueduct. Don't suppose you were able to get to La Granja - about twenty minutes away by car - spectacular gardens around a palace, right up there with the best we've ever seen. Safe travels!

The plane is a magical portal
How nice it is to read the travelers inside of you are once again on the road. The airplane is a wonderful device to transport one from daily life to traveling, eating, drinking and living ones true self. I love how you notice the smallest details such as buses making turns and street sweeping. Enjoy, and know I will be with you soon.

Riding with the King
Been racking my brain for the music to travel along with Dangerous Dave's & Beautiful MJ's latest adventure...a track that captures the thrill and nuance of your escape from Covid captivity to castles and vineyards. I reckon I've got it...the album cover pic you know...the tune screams with message...the beat will sustain. BB King & Eric Clapton..."Riding with the King". I'll put it on for you now! Ride on!
