Continuing the theme from [...]

When the DH and I went to canoe on the Sella River, we chose to stay in the city of Ribadesella, which is the terminus of the river. We could have stayed in the mountain town closer to the river, Arriondas, but we wanted to enjoy both river and beach. Well, it ended up raining [...]

The Sella River is very scenic and fairly gentle, so the descent in canoe has become very popular. There is even an annual race, the International Descent of [...]

Brazilian racer Felipe Massa won the race, but Fernando Alonso is world champion for the second year in a row! And he is only 24!! Spain is a crazy country tonight because right after the F1 race finished, one of the biggest soccer/football matches of the year started – Real Madrid versus Barcelona. Real Madrid [...]

I don’t know if any of you have been following F1 racing. I am not a huge sports fan, in fact, I don’t even watch the Superbowl. (I know, I’m a very bad American.) I have been following F1 racing lately, though, because the current world champion, (and soon to be for a second year), [...]

I'm an American expat living on the fringe of Chinese society. Thanks to a lifetime spent moving around, I often feel like an outsider. This blog explores life in Beijing, China, the occasional aviation topic, expat issues, random travel experiences and interesting things I see, read and hear. If you want to know more about my latest hobby, visit Sewing on the Fringe, where I blog about learning to sew in Beijing. And for daily documentation of Beijing's ever changing air quality, visit My Beijing Window. And, yes, I do wear my santa hat year-round. ;)
