Boston, April 2025: food & drink

Friday We wanted to check out Charlestown, and Blackmoor Bar and Kitchen looked like a good starting point on the edge of the neighborhood. They were busy with several large groups, but we found two spots at the bar. I got an Allagash White, Leandra a Belgian Delirium...

Boston, April 2025: overview & where we stayed

In October we saw that a band we really like (Snow Patrol) was going to tour North America in 2025. They weren't playing anywhere in NC, so we looked through the available options. Boston looked like a good fit, with a Saturday night show, a reasonably priced floor...

Richmond, March 2025

We had two free night certificates expiring at the end of March that prompted a quick trip to Richmond, Virginia. Instead of using both nights we invited our friends to go with us. Altogether we were in town for about 26 hours. Our first stop was lunch at Ugly...

Street art and sculpture in Miami

On our return to the US after two weeks in Argentina we had a day in Miami to explore some art and visit with friends. We were supposed to land at 5am(!) but our flight was delayed almost two hours, so that meant getting the car and heading to the Wynwood area at...

Iguazu Falls: Port Iguazú

Iguazu Falls: Port Iguazú

Given our flight schedules we didn't have that much time in Port Iguazú, but there isn't that much to see or do besides the falls. On our arrival evening we trekked over to Supermercado Capicua for water (since the local water is iffy for drinking) plus breakfast...

Iguazu Falls: Iguaçu National Park, Brazil

Iguazu Falls: Iguaçu National Park, Brazil

On this day we started with Patricia (our driver from the previous day) picking us at 10am. Getting across the border was very straightforward on the Argentina side and a bit more tedious on the Brazil side. She had filled out the paperwork ahead of time so we sailed...

Iguazu Falls: Iguazú National Park, Argentina

Instead of taking the the bus we decided to hire a driver, so we were picked at 7:30am in front of our apartment by Patricia and reached the falls just before 8am. I had bought tickets online (during our visit, $45K pesos per person) so we were able to join the short...

Eric and Leandra in Orient Point, NY :)

Hello! This website chronicles the travel adventures of a computational biologist and a WordPress website developer (with past entries of our 😇 rescued mini schnauzers, Riesling and Pasha).

We’ve steadily increased our travel over the last several years and that is the focus of our blog currently, but you can read older ‘daily life‘ and ‘canine‘ posts by clicking on those links.
