    And decorated with stuffed bunnies. You gotta give extra points for that, it’s stinking adorable.

    The patio is about 2x the size of the whole apartment! It was a great deal and the host has been lovely. Watching the sunset from the patio while listening to the birds (and braying donkey) was magical. That’s from me and not Carbón as he was indoors eating dinner. Priorities! 😉

    Amigos, we are in my homeland of Spain ! And we have for tonight a very small apartment with a massive patio: Que bonito! It also has fire in a box, but ML is no good with those, so I may be deprived. Que lastima! There are also people riding horses in the street and a shouting donkey nearby...

    Oh yes, can’t wait to get there - 2 weeks from tomorrow! But thanks to Brexit, I can’t live there long-term, so that was what I was looking for in Portugal, a place to settle down for a while. As @Jelinga says, time to find another Plan B!

    Vale, amigos, that is all this Señor wrote for the Algarve! Tomorrow we make a run for the border (I always wanted to say that) and leave Portugal behind. Today we went to Silves. There was not all that much to see, but the cathedral was pretty, and ML enjoyed the availability of public loos...

    Yes, you’re right. While I’m really grateful that I had this opportunity to visit Portugal and it is of course a beautiful country, my feeling at the moment is that it is not a place I would want to live, or even visit again unless it was a short along-the-way-to-somewhere-else stop. However...

    It’s horrible, isn’t it? 🥺 I’m from Northern California and don’t know anyone who lives in the south. To give you a context for the distance between the two areas, from my father’s house it would be about an 8 hour drive to where the fires are. The most recent bad fires have been more in the...

    Karen Pryor

    True, she made a huge impact and made lives better for so many dogs and their humans. Can’t ask for a better life than that. ❤️

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    Hola amigos! We finally found a beach here in the Algarve where I felt like smiling! No, dogs are not allowed, but ML sometimes it is worth it to break the law for a few minutes as long as it does not hurt anyone else. Que bien! It is hard to believe, but tomorrow is our last day in...

    I’m the podcast queen. 😁 Have you seen how small the TARDIS is? There’s a reason for that! 🤣 I try to be a safe driver, but I don’t really have any actual skill. And anything bigger than a small SUV (which already loads bigger than my car) sounds terrifying. Heck, I keep having to remind...

    For legal (immigration) reasons, I have to drive all the way back to Germany before I can go to the UK. So…from the nearly most southern tip of Spain, up to San Sebastián, through the middle of France, into Germany, then turn back around and go through Belgium to Calais, over to Folkestone, and...

    Also I just locked down the last of our travel arrangements for Cornwall. It’s going to be a monumental six day drive, but two weeks from this Saturday we are BACK, baby! :monkey:

    I’m hijacking Carbón’s thread again (“Pfft!”) but was just editing today’s photo batch and wanted to share this one especially as Carbón himself chose the location and pose. He’s doing this more and more, and I love it. Ok, ok: his motivation is COOKIES and sometimes his location choices have...
