Purpose & Intent
It’s been a practice of mine to keep a journal of my travels when I visit Europe. This exercise started when I first went to Spain as a fifteen year old high school student at the Universidad de Salamanca. At the time I used pen and paper to capture the adventures. And I still have the handwritten books of those travels along with my six month year abroad chronicles living in London from December 1988 – May 1989.
I kept the practice alive in 2014, but moved into the
digital world when I forced the family to keep a five week blog journaling our
adventures throughout Europe. This was part of Gary’s six week sabbatical
program, a perk of his then employer Genentech. I forced the family to help me capture our trip which you can read at Our Genetic Journey in Jeans.
We are now back in Europe after eleven years and thought I would
try to memorialize our trip again with a written version of our activities and photos. The new blog post title is a bit long, but you can find our latest Old World adventures here at A Fortnight in the Emerald Isles to Commemorate 30 Years. The title gives a nod to the two countries
we are visiting as a family for the Christmas and New Year's holidays 2025/2026 -- England and Ireland -- and to Gary and I celebrating our 30th wedding
anniversary.
Enjoy.
