So here we are in “Sunny Florida”. Which it sometimes is — sunny, that is.
Not so “Sunny Florida”
Dateline: Melbourne, FL

After almost 7 weeks in Connecticut, with a quick side-trip to NJ, we have now arrived in Florida. Continue reading
Dateline: First stops in the USA
It was a gray and rainy Saturday afternoon when we landed in Newark, NJ on June 20th to start the next phase of Plan G here in the U.S.A. Continue reading
Dateline: London
As many of you correctly recalled (and thanks for your emails!), we left Lisbon today and flew to London. Yes, we’re back where we started our Plan G adventures almost 2.5 months ago.
Our adventures don’t end here, of course. For the coming week they will be located in the UK. I deliberately didn’t say “in London”, though as we’re planning a day trip tomorrow to meet up with a friend in Oxford, which is just an hour away by train.
At this point in our travels, I’m not optimistic about Internet connection here in London. But I’ll see if I have a moment to at least post a photo or two soon from somewhere, since I have lots to show you all at some point. 
As usual, we’ll have to hope for the best this week about that.
In the meantime, here’s a page of webcams from London. As it turns out, these webcams may or may not be working at any given moment.
We’ll hope for the best about them, too.

File this under the unexpectedly advantages that can arise from non-optimal situations.
Dateline: Lisbon
Our trip from Vigo to Lisbon was uneventful, and we arrived without any problems this afternoon. On the first train, we incorrectly assumed that the sign for the route from Vigo to Porto on the inside of the train car was an indication that we were on the right train. However, although we were indeed on the correct train, the sign in the car turned out NOT to be the sign for the route our train actually took between the same two places. Ah well. At least it was the right train! Continue reading
Dateline: Vigo
So we arrived in Vigo, Spain this afternoon. From our hotel room, when you look to the right, there is a view of the port of Vigo. We’re on the edge of the commercial district in town, though, only a block from a branch of the big El Corte Inglés department store, a fact the clerk pointed out numerous times when we checked in. Too funny. There are branches of that store all over Spain and Portugal; I know this because the free city maps we’ve gotten so far in Spain have all been sponsored by El Corte Inglés. Also kind of funny, since the maps always position things in relation to the El Corte Inglés branch or branches in town.
Of course, one of the first – and so far only – things we have visited here in Vigo Continue reading
Dateline: Santiago de Compostela
It’s a long way to Santiago … especially when you start in San Sebastian and take the Intercity train across Spain to get there. Now it wasn’t quite the pilgrim’s route though, which is of course one of the things that Santiago de Compostela is known for. However, we arrived last night in town, where we’ll be only until tomorrow, when we head a bit further south. Internet service in our hotel here is very sporadic … I’m hoping it will at least work long enough to post this link to a webcam, but I’m only cautiously optimistic about that. But whenever you see this post, enjoy.
Dateline: San Sebastián
We arrived late yesterday in San Sebastián (called Donostia in the Basque language), which is an hour’s bus ride from Bilbao. As you will be able to see in this live webcam view — if you view it when the sun is still up here — we’re now on the coast. The webcam shows the current scene on the La Concha beach, with the Bay of Biscay beyond. The sun hasn’t set yet at 9:00pm as I type this, so there should be plenty of chances to view the beach even from the North American time zones.
Enjoy.

Just a short post to share a few photos from Bilbao that I very quickly transferred to the computer. All were taken today.
