Answer to the WTF #1

So, you were told that this item was seen in the window of a shop in Girona, Spain
( arguably the trendiest dining capital of the world - see the #1 restaurant in the world, El Celler Can Roca : https://m.cellercanroca.com/).

Many great and imaginative guesses, but only a few close enough to call correct..... The shop was a Hearing Aid store....

Here are the rest of the pictures -

I thought perhaps they were hearing aids for kids ....Marci knew better, and went into the store to confirm - these are custom-made, molded to your ear EAR PLUGS.

Per the store :
They are for either 1) swimming , or 2) “sweet dreams”( exact quote ) , so to get a good nights rest.

First close correct answer was by Richard P., who can pick up his bottle of Cava in Santa Fe anytime he wants.....the prize includes lodging.... Thanks to all who played. Steve

#120 - SURPRISE....ONE LAST READ WITH YOUR MORNING COFFEE

Did you think we wouldn't do a wrap up - the woulda, shoulda, coulda list along with our very salient observations of the current state of fashion, food, and fun in France and Spain? Well, we got a bit sidetracked. So here is the last of Paris and the rest of the Euro 2019 blog. Our last night in Paris, Laurent returned and we had a dinner at Eels as planned. About a thirty minute walk (perfect, since once we are home I can't get Steve walking at all) but it was raining, so we hopped in an Uber and headed over to the 10th arrondissement in heavy traffic. Rather than describe the great five course chef tasting menu we did- here it is in photos. Everything was excellent, especially the bottle of Pinot Noir- too bad it was their last one and we had to switch wines for the next bottle - but that is the only criticism. The next morning we were packed, said our goodbyes, and were off to the airport for our non-stop to Dulles...

Follow The Yellow Brick Road

Follow The Yellow Brick Road!!!!! OR We're Off to See the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz It's early morning, November 9th, Philadelphia. The sun is shining, Fall is crisp in the air. The house is clean, the linens freshly washed, the dishwasher unloaded, the fridge empty. The weekend had Shelby and David here, and Sunday dinner with Spencer for the last pre-trip kids 'fix'. It has to last a while. The car is sleeping soundly in the suburbs, there's no milk left for coffee, the bills are paid for months ahead. Itineraries are given out both for and to prevent emergencies, goodbye calls, emails and texts are sent and received. And we are packed! Again, each with precision in the same orange 24" suitcase from our last big adventure. Black and white color palette will reign, a repeat performance (let's hope it never goes out of style or good taste), shoes are always challenging and this time, along with rain gear and hiking boots for t...

#34 - Sometimes travel is just everyday life with better scenery and a few more meals out

....And I've been doing it wrong the whole trip??? Now you finally tell me?? Travel always sounds so exotic, especially when you take a long plane ride to get there. And a two or three week vacation is usually packed so full, long days, lots of activities and moving from place to place. In other words, every day is a day of nothing but highlights...the major museums, the thrill activities and a fancy dinner out. But a two month vacation is quite different. It is closer to regular life with one or two good surprises each day. Like our drive to Blenheim, a sleepover, and a ferry ride from Picton to Wellington on Tuesday to Wednesday . It was really nice and I could describe what we did, the drive, the vineyards we visited, the dinner, etc. But this blog is meant to be more than just a travelogue. It's about observing and learning, looking at things with distance and perspective. And traveling to a very far away place that is not so different than where y...
