We had noticed this trend in Paris last year and are seeing the same in Madrid – namely all the small neighborhood grocery stores are all manned by Indians our south Asians. These are these small stores with basic items and produce and dime a dozen on streets – I wonder how did desis end up capturing this market? What gives?
Today was a well planned half a day spent in Segovia. Beautiful weather also. Now back to hotel to get some rest before heading out in evening again!
Renfe is so good I am a sucker for trains allright!
Honestly this low humidity stinging high heat does not bother me much. Yes it’s warm but I am not sweating buckets. I prefer this much, having grown up in similar kind of heat in Ahmedabad in India.
Misjudged our train and now we have more than an hour in train station in Toledo. Much needed rest with nice breeze flowing by.
We have been doing Europe for a few years now but the dollar devalue shock has hit for first time. Wow I did not realize how much euro has gained against the dollar now.
Hello Madrid! A longish tour of Spain begins. Tap Portugal was surprisingly very effective and nice! Even with delay in second leg to to Madrid in less than 12 hours after leaving DC!
Randomly put on Jackson’s Dangerous album on drive to work – damn, this whole album was so so good – be it sound design, mixing, the range of each track, or just one banger after another on this album. Heck this album is so far ahead of its time even today, nearly 35 years after its release!
White women are you now happy your kids will simply be uneducated instead of learning about CRT? Those of you who voted for him deserve this and i hope your kids turn out to be completely useless members of society in their adulthood and depend on you for rest of their lives.
My god this spring and summer is convincing me to move out of this area asap. Absolutely bonkers what’s going on right now. This is a deluge not just rain. I just hope that there are no floods on way back.
