		<title>The chicken saga: now there are four</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; A week after getting our first three, I went to the feed store and picked up a fourth chick, an Ameracauna (the kind that lay blue-green eggs). Her name is Mandy (yes, another character on Ugly Betty).&#160; I was a little worried that integrating her into the existing group would be a problem [...]]]></description>

		<title>The chicken saga: full moon rising (day two)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ah, chicken butt. Beaks and fuzzy butts are the two things that look pretty much the same from chickhood on up. ~~~~ Well everyone made it through their first night. The temperature in the terrarium stayed a constant 95 degrees. Betty is pecking at everything to see if it’s worth eating, including the new feathers [...]]]></description>

		<title>The chicken saga: day one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After our long trip it was comforting to see everything was pretty much the same. The roses are coming into bloom, there are plenty of oranges on the trees, and the sourdough starter is still alive. And yet it feels a little off …there aren’t more animals around. Milton, the dear, is a pretty quiet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home, again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, we didn’t disappear in Spain a couple of weeks ago. The rest of our trip was as fascinating and wonderful as the part before, although with some major “incidents”. I’ll write about those soon. It didn’t seem we’d been gone for over two months, but walking in the door, looking at two months of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona: A Gaud&#237; Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; But first, 2 things. Barcelona has a bike-share system called Bicing that looks fantastic. You pay a yearly fee of about $60 and for that you can use these bikes which are everywhere. There are time limits to prevent hogging, and it seems there’s always a bike available. The other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona &#8211; up on the mountain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; &#160; Montjuïc, Barcelona’s hill with a very strange name (Mountain of the Jews), is where we headed this morning. Now well into the second half of our trip, we’re glad not to have to trudge uphill and took advantage of the funicular ride. Once the short trip through the tunnel was over, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcelona: orientation day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Being so close to the Rambla, there’s no choice but to promenade. Unlike most thoroughfares, the Rambla doesn’t seem to be used to go from one place to another place. A place to hang out is more like it. There are a lot of odd street “performers” who put on strange costumes, stand [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hol&#224; Barcelona</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; &#160; [maplink] &#160; &#160; After an eleven-hour trip from Kenya, we finally arrived in Barcelona. The connection from the airport by train and subway is extremely easy but we encountered an alarming hiccup: some guys tried to pickpocket Tom. It was a ruse that’s happened to us before years ago in France. As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Asante Kenya!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; Leaving the national park, we saw one more big game animal, the wildebeest. These are two of the group that live year-round here, but during the Great Migration, the grasslands disappear from view as multitudes of these animals pass through. &#160; &#160; &#160; [maplink] &#160; &#160; Arriving back in Nairobi, we were very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kenya: the Masai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; &#160; [maplink] &#160; &#160; This morning’s game drive met the dawn on the Masai Mara. We were hoping to catch some of the nocturnal animals before they disappeared for the day. After staring at a large herd of buffalo who stared back at us, we saw a couple of those night creatures, a [...]]]></description>
