Tech work in the suburbs
This week I wait and watch to see if my lead foot in South Africa is going to cause me more issues. It was also JC’s birthday. The rest of the week after that was about as mundane as it can get, at least for content in this blog. I spent the bulk of it…
FIRE Existential Crisis
We are still working on house projects this week, and making good progress. There aren’t any more emergencies to deal with, so it’s all forward progress now. I had a bit of a mental meltdown, a FIRE existential crisis (see day 9). FIRE: Day 8 (7/6) We rented a 9′ UHaul van today and started…
Spain Travel Reflections
At the beginning of the year, I viewed Spain as the most important location of our year long trip. With my desire to learn Spanish, and it fitting at the end of our itinerary, I envisioned it as a capstone location. It would be a place that is foreign, but that we could navigate with…
Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau
This was not an interesting week, although the beach weirdness did keep us entertained (days 357, 358). JC also popped her top like a real local (day 359), and we did a final tourist activity, visiting Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (day 355). Travel Log: Day 353 (6/15), Spain Pretty standard day…
Turismo Final – Basilica of the Sagrada Familia
With our T-usual cards running out this week, we had to get in our final tourist activities requiring public transportation. This was anchored by a trip to Basilica of the Sagrada Familia (day 347). Also through the week was an unfortunate amount of prep for our return to CO. This includes searching for car options,…
The End Of Homeschool and Sick Car Searches
In this week of travel, I unbelievably get sick again after being sick just six weeks ago in Lisbon (days 334-337). We had our last day of homeschool (day 336). Besides that I spent a lot of time being sick, working on yesalittle.com, and researching cars. Travel Log: Day 332 (5/25), Spain Today is labor…
Barcelona Walking Tour
This week had a diverse set of activity. We finalized our ACA health/dental insurance enrollment and made the initial payments on those (day 325). I worked with Claude Code to enhance and formalize my language training app (days 326-331). On the touristy side of things we took a walking tour of Barcelona (day 327). JC…
Travel From Lisbon To Barcelona
This week we traveled from Lisbon to Barcelona (day 320). Multiple people spoke Spanish to us out of the gate, and we failed on every one of them. We got settled into our new Airbnb, and took in some of the city. Both the city and our place are proving to be incredibly nice. We…
Addo Elephant National Park
In this week of travel I get my fitness back on track by joining a gym (day 262), and we made a trip to Addo Elephant National Park (days 263-264). Later in the week I get back into some tech and put Claude Code to the test (days 265-268), I created an app in a…
Chiang Mai Thailand – A Week In Review
This week was low on activity, mainly because I got sick with a mild cold that progresses through the week. Later in the week though I was feeling better, and we took a guided bike tour of the old city (day 217 below). I also joined a great gym (day 213 immediately below), and we…
