What do I miss about living in South Florida now that I’ve moved to Denmark? Sunshine in the winter and spicy ___. Fill in the blank. People, food, music… No wrong answers here.

Because pronouncing things in Danish isn’t difficult enough… We have to do math to communicate measurements and prices here

After living abroad for 4+ months, the culture shock of being back in the US for a weekend has been unreal. Looking forward to getting back to DK where things aren’t perfect, but they’re (mostly) logical.

Two days spent in the majesty of the Andes both soothed the soul and made me not want to go back to the daily shit show.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
Might be covered in blood, but I’ll get out all right.

We’ve said arrivederci to our floating condo for the winter. Between the plumbing (what’s that smell?), the electrical (who turned off the lights?), the propeller (where’d the mooring line go?), and did I mention the PLUMBING, it’ll be a minute before we miss the boat. Denmark, here we come!

And this, boys and girls, is why break walls are your friends. 40 knot (46 mph) winds in a protected cove destroy beaches (and restaurants). Still trying to figure out why South Florida doesn’t learn from Italy and build more of these.

Last chances and the Florida Keys… What could go wrong? Can’t wait to see my story tucked in with all these greats.

How do you know it’s holiday time when the weather still screams summer? Sandi tree is the answer. Soon she’ll be surrounded by a light and music show complete with dancing fountains. Nothing subtle for West Palm Beach!
