The winter has arrived in Europe

Not a bad way to experience snow for the first time Farida!





With winter baring down on us, it's nice to be in Europe amongst the history and scenery. The hot spiced wine is being served to keep us warm and the women are trading their heels for boots. It's gonna be cold for a while, but it will be a nice winter.

Wing Night

As a way of revealing a little bit of American culture to my Egyptian folk I recently prepared a hefty portion of hot wings for us to enjoy.







I believe they were enjoyed...

Street art in Logroño

It may be a factor of being a mid-sized town distant from any major metropolis, or maybe it's that Logrono sits as the capital of a romantic wine-growing region, but either way there seems to be an art movement forming here to this point unreported on. These streetside paintings seem to be ignored by most walking around this city, but it stuck my imagination. It's impressive, at least to me.

La Rioja wine country

Brones, in Rioja, seen from the vineyards.

It's funny to think back at my first experience ACTUALLY enjoining a bottle of wine... it was a '86 Marques de Caceres drank for a special occasion with my college girlfriend. Those grapes came from these vines, grown here at the base of this beautiful town.



The view from the top of one hill town. One of many hill towns here... one of may beautiful views here.


An old wine press...or maybe torture machine...I'm gonna get out of here!
