Purpose and Intent of this Blog

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.
