Some Delhi tidbits Our yoga retreat officially started this afternoon so we had the morning free for some more sightseeing. But first, breakfast. Not pictured but very much part of this wonderful meal, mango lassis and lots of fresh fruits. Then we had to stop by the spa for a steam bath and
An Indian Adventure I’m still working on getting my blogging groove back but obviously a trip to India is the perfect time to dust off our little corner of the internet and make it official that the Paws are back! In my one day in Delhi I’ve learned that it really
Copenhagen with Jet Lag One of the cheapest flights we found to the US this summer was via Copenhagen so we decided to add a few days in the city on our return trip. We figured it would be easier to get over the jet lag when there was something fun to do outside.
Books I read in 2025 Not everything I’ve read this year but every book I enjoyed. Roughly organized by date read. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus Alone by Megan E. Freeman (It's a YA book but scared the living daylights out of me.) Real Americans by Rachel Khong (Generational saga full
Austria Yep, still alive! We've spent an entire year in one place and we're still alive! Actually, that's not strictly true because we still spent an awful amount of time traveling, especially in the first part of the year when the kids weren't in kindergarten yet.
Austria And Now for Something Completely Different I'm not even going to pretend that I've been meaning to write but simply didn't make it. Because who am I kidding at this point? I've just gotten lazy. I'M SORRY! But there has been some major stuff happening here
Germany Several Weeks Later... Dear reader, I'm almost embarrassed to write at this point. The authorities have let this place go to the dogs, it's a disgrace. "How else is the world supposed to find out about my latest exploits?" I ask them. And they just shrug and
Spain Swimming With the Fishes This is not a veiled threat from the mob, we really did swim with a whole school of fish yesterday in our little bay. One of the many boats that come during the day to anchor had a baguette left over and they started throwing crumbs into the water right
World A Fresh Start It's been so long that we've posted something here, I feel like we need to re-introduce ourselves. Hi, we're the Paws: Catering, Transportation, SmallPaw and BabyPaw. We used to be really good about posting stuff here about our travels but somehow around March the
United States The Epic Birthday Park Tour Dear reader, Because of scheduling problems around Catering's computer, this blog post will be a SmallPaw/BabyPaw joint venture. Please bear with my little brother while he tries to contain his excitement... HI GUYS!!! I'm so happy SmallPaw and I finally get to do a post
United States Step Into Powder Hi guys! So Mami and Papi took us to the mountains of Colorado to go skiing with uncle Sam and aunt Micha. Well, I say skiing but I wasn't allowed to go yet and Mami and Papi used this thing called a snowboard instead so I guess technically
United States Los Angeles for Beginners Oh LA, you're such a tease. Beautiful, sunny days and cool, starry evenings to lure you in. But then you sit in traffic for an hour to get some lunch and the allure is gone (thank god). But yes, it was lovely. We saw four different museums (La
United States 8 Years and Counting We've turned into such sloths that we even missed our travel anniversary! Oh my... But Maui will make you forget many things. I mean there are itty bitty dragons around: And beaches galore: And this is Hawaii so of course there are more volcanos. So yeah, 8 years
United States Slowly, and Happily, Turning Into Sloths You guys! These islands are amazing... Everything is just so beautiful and the people are real friendly. And the beaches, wow, don't even get me started on the beaches. I know Mami and Papi haven't posted much here and they feel really bad about that but
United States Aloha Indeed We hoped Hawaii would be beautiful. Not just for the obvious reasons but because we'd been talking about it so much and hyping it up for the kids that we would have been in serious trouble if the islands didn't deliver. Thankfully we needn't
Australia Far Away From Everything. Literally. Dear reader, There are no two ways about it: the south-west of Australia is gorgeous. It's also in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Which is maybe why it's so gorgeous. Because to get there takes wayyyyy too long. And not just because the authorities decided it
Australia Sydney to Perth, the Long Way This blog is in need of some serious TLC. One post for 4 weeks in Sydney?! Puh-leeze... If you've been waiting for a catch-up post though, this sadly isn't it. Because we just arrived in Perth after a loooong time on a train and there'
Australia Fa La La La, How Late It Is... It's been 2 weeks since we've arrived in Sydney, this post is long overdue, I agree. But to make up for it, here are a lot of pictures. Very little writing though since BabyPaw is teething (the never-ending story), it's ridiculously hot and the
Fiji If Paradise Is Half as Nice... Like Timbuktu, Fiji to me always sounded like one of those made-up places where the name alone was supposed to conjure up an image. In this case palm trees, pristine beaches and perfect sea. Turns out both Timbuktu and Fiji are real and, at least in case of the latter,
Taiwan Eating Our Way Through Taiwan I'm not going to lie - it's all about the food here. We did go to a couple of museums in Taipei but then quickly looked for our next meal again. And if the lines at some of the more famous places like Din Tai Fung
Japan Sayonara Nihon Hi guys! It's been raining here in Taipei so everyone's in a bit of a tetchy mood. But nothing a fun blog post with some pretty pictures can't change! I see we haven't really wrapped up our last week in Japan so
Japan It's So Much More Than a Cover First time we came to Japan, Small Paw was learning to walk and would pause to admire drain covers. In some spots they would be colored in bright colors, so what child wouldn't want to take a closer look. Turns out each district is responsible for their own
Japan Going Slow Since leaving Kyoto a week ago we've stopped in several places - Himeji, Kurashiki, Takuma, Matsuyama and now Fukuoka - but for some reason it never felt rushed. Probably because we spent 3 days in a house near Takuma in the middle of nowhere not doing much. Bliss.
Japan Happy Halloween Dear reader, I've heard there are people out there who don't care about Halloween but if you're one of those people then we probably wouldn't like each other. Because that means you don't like dressing up or ghosts or worst
Japan Relaxing on the Rails Between Tokyo and Kyoto we spent a week ambling through the mountains to see some smaller towns and wind down a bit after the craziness that's Tokyo. Our first stop was in Matsumoto and it probably wouldn't have been such a remarkable one (although there'
