One of the singular joys in life for me is entering a new city and then wandering down streets that look like this or similar. I just know the ambiance is going to be great. I'm definitely going to see some amazing sights and it's going to feel like an adventure!

Una de las alegrías singulares de la vida para mí es entrar en una nueva ciudad y luego deambular por calles que se ven así o similares. Solo sé que el ambiente va a ser genial. ¡Definitivamente voy a ver algunas vistas increíbles y se sentirá como una aventura!

Right before this global pandemic really took off, we drove from LA to Palm Springs for a nice 3 days of relaxation at gay hotel. It was such a fantastic experience and I really hope to return some day after this pandemic is more in control.

Justo antes de que esta pandemia mundial despegara realmente, condujimos desde Los Ángeles a Palm Springs para pasar unos agradables 3 días de relajación en un hotel gay. Fue una experiencia fantástica y realmente espero volver algún día después de que esta pandemia esté más controlada.

Welcome to my TED Talk. Jk jk...but sometimes you

Welcome to my TED Talk. Jk jk...but sometimes you just need to take a little time to hang out on your porch that you’re thinking of converting into a small conservatory and dream. I have approval from the husband to go ahead with it all! Now I just need to actually make it happen.

These days I’m posting a bit more of other aspects of our life and I am enjoying it all a bit more. I need to get to writing some blog posts about different projects we are doing and stuff like that though. I’ve not been so good at doing that.

Bienvenido a mi charla TED. Jk jk ... pero a veces solo necesitas tomarte un poco de tiempo para pasar el rato en tu porche que estás pensando en convertir en un pequeño invernadero y soñar. ¡Tengo la aprobación del esposo para seguir adelante con todo! Ahora solo necesito hacerlo realidad.

Estos días estoy publicando un poco más de otros aspectos de nuestra vida y lo estoy disfrutando un poco más. Sin embargo, necesito escribir algunas publicaciones de blog sobre diferentes proyectos que estamos haciendo y cosas así. No he sido tan bueno haciendo eso.

In the Bucovina region of Romania, you can find be

In the Bucovina region of Romania, you can find beautiful painted houses in the small, quaint village of Ciocanesti. The village is located on the road from from Gura Homorului to Targu Mures and these houses are painted in the same tradition of painted eggs in intricate patterns for Easter and also include motifs from traditional Romanian clothing. Each houses painting is truly a work of art. Ciocanesti actually mandates all houses in the village must be painted in this manner and the Lonely Planet has designated the town one of Europe's most colorful destinations. ⠀

⠀
If you're ever in Romania, you need to make sure you make it to this village!

En la región de Bucovina de Rumania, puede encontrar hermosas casas pintadas en el pequeño y pintoresco pueblo de Ciocanesti. El pueblo está ubicado en la carretera de Gura Homorului a Targu Mures y estas casas están pintadas con la misma tradición de huevos pintados en intrincados patrones para la Pascua y también incluyen motivos de la ropa tradicional rumana. La pintura de cada casa es verdaderamente una obra de arte. En realidad, Ciocanesti exige que todas las casas del pueblo se pinten de esta manera y Lonely Planet ha designado a la ciudad como uno de los destinos más coloridos de Europa. ⠀

⠀
Si alguna vez estás en Rumanía, ¡debes asegurarte de llegar a este pueblo!

For some reasons, sugar cane fields always make me

For some reasons, sugar cane fields always make me feel a sense of wonder and wander. This may be because every time I see sugar cane fields, I am somewhere warm and remote. The moment seems simpler than my normal experiences and it is something I cherish. This sugar cane field sits in Cuba just outside of Trinidad in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Valle de los Ingenios. The area was so amazing to explore on horseback.

Por algunas razones, los campos de caña de azúcar siempre me hacen sentir una sensación de asombro y deambular. Esto puede deberse a que cada vez que veo campos de caña de azúcar, estoy en un lugar cálido y remoto. El momento parece más simple que mis experiencias normales y es algo que aprecio. Este campo de caña de azúcar se encuentra en Cuba a las afueras de Trinidad en el sitio del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO de Valle de los Ingenios. La zona era increíble para explorar a caballo.

Last night we went to bed super early and slept for 12 hours!! Yikes! Woke up feeling super groggy from all that sleep but felt cute...hence this photo. Seems one of the only ways I’ll get to wear my gay outfits usually reserved for parties and circuit type events is like this.

¡Anoche nos fuimos a la cama muy temprano y dormimos 12 horas! ¡Ay! Me desperté sintiéndome súper aturdido por todo ese sueño, pero me sentí lindo. Parece que una de las únicas formas en que podré usar mis atuendos gay, generalmente reservados para fiestas y eventos tipo circuito, es así.

This was the first time I ever saw the famous self

This was the first time I ever saw the famous self-portrait of Van Gogh and I was very excited. I always feel it is a special moment to lay my eyes on the work of one of the great artists of the world. I typically will try to get as close as possible to see the brush strokes and imagine the artist painting, or drawing, or whatever it may be. It's just a moment I share with myself in my head and I always feel really privileged to have the opportunity.

Esta fue la primera vez que vi el famoso autorretrato de Van Gogh y estaba muy emocionado. Siempre siento que es un momento especial poner mis ojos en el trabajo de uno de los grandes artistas del mundo. Por lo general, trato de acercarme lo más posible para ver las pinceladas e imaginar al artista pintando, dibujando o lo que sea. Es solo un momento que comparto conmigo mismo en mi cabeza y siempre me siento realmente privilegiado de tener la oportunidad.

Oh yes, plant shopping happened yesterday and while you can’t see most of my face, I’m definitely smiling under it. I bought quite a few new plants which you can see over the next few days on my new plant focused account, @urbanpothos . These green ladies make me so happy and it’s nice to put one of masters degrees to good use. Now I just need to figure out how they’ll be taken care of when I head out on my next trip.

Oh sí, la compra de plantas ocurrió ayer y, aunque no puedes ver la mayor parte de mi cara, definitivamente estoy sonriendo debajo de ella. Compré algunas plantas nuevas que puedes ver en los próximos días en mi nueva cuenta enfocada en plantas, @urbanpothos. Estas damas verdes me hacen muy feliz y es bueno darle un buen uso a una de mis maestrías. Ahora solo necesito averiguar cómo se cuidarán cuando salga en mi próximo viaje.

Alfred and I try to make it to Atlanta once every

Alfred and I try to make it to Atlanta once every two years or so for Pride because we have a ton of friends who live in the city. Atlanta's Pride is held in October due to the intense heat of summer. During that time it is still pretty warm outside and the celebration is HUGE. It's always a good time and we typically have time to wander around Mid Town a bit on our own too. We enjoy meandering through Piedmont Park and just relaxing.

Alfred y yo tratamos de llegar a Atlanta una vez cada dos años para Orgullo porque tenemos un montón de amigos que viven en la ciudad. El Orgullo de Atlanta se celebra en octubre debido al intenso calor del verano. Durante ese tiempo todavía hace bastante calor afuera y la celebración es ENORME. Siempre es un buen momento y normalmente también tenemos tiempo para pasear un poco por Mid Town. Disfrutamos deambulando por Piedmont Park y simplemente relajándonos.

We love to go way off the beaten path when we travel. When we were hanging out in Joshua Tree, we made sure to visit all the crazy and wonderful attractions in the area including the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum. It's an open air art exhibit consisting of many are installations made out of a huge variety of salvaged materials. It's also totally free to visit. There's a great photo around every corner and here you can see Alfred posing in some sort of a hanger. Use your imagination!

Nos encanta salir del camino trillado cuando viajamos. Cuando estábamos pasando el rato en Joshua Tree, nos aseguramos de visitar todas las atracciones locas y maravillosas de la zona, incluido el Museo de Arte del Desierto al aire libre Noah Purifoy. Es una exposición de arte al aire libre que consta de muchas instalaciones hechas de una gran variedad de materiales recuperados. También es totalmente gratis para visitar. Hay una gran foto en cada esquina y aquí puedes ver a Alfred posando en una especie de percha. ¡Use su imaginación!

Last year I rode on and drove a jet ski for the first time and I have to say it was soooo much fun. Being able to zoom through the ocean at super fast speeds while hitting waves and flying through the air is exhilarating. Key West is the perfect place to have this little adventure ...you can even join a tour that allows you to jet ski pretty much all the way around the island.

El año pasado monté y conduje una moto de agua por primera vez y tengo que decir que fue muy divertido. Poder hacer zoom a través del océano a velocidades súper rápidas mientras golpea las olas y vuela por el aire es emocionante. Key West es el lugar perfecto para tener esta pequeña aventura ... incluso puedes unirte a un recorrido que te permite practicar jet ski en toda la isla.

Enjoying a but kiddie pool one last time before the hurricane. The water is cool and helps my legs after my morning run. I’ll have to drain it in a bit and store it until after the storm. We are expecting winds of 60 mile per hour so it would be dumb to leave it out. Don’t worry...I don’t drink alcohol before noon so that’s just my water and fiber supplement in a fancy glass. 😂

Disfrutando antes del huracán. Tendré que drenarlo y guardarlo hasta después de la tormenta. Esperamos vientos de 60 millas por hora, por lo que sería tonto dejarlo fuera. No te preocupes ... No bebo alcohol antes del mediodía, así que ese es solo mi suplemento de agua y fibra en un vaso elegante. 😂

Sunday is for rest ...or so they say. We’ve spent half the day doing absolutely nothing and wearing about the same thing. The goal is to spend the rest of the day also doing nothing until we start putting things away just in case that hurricane decides throw a little turmoil our way. I’m not one to sit around so I doubt it’ll be a lazy rest of the day.

El domingo es para descansar ... o eso dicen. Pasamos la mitad del día sin hacer absolutamente nada. El objetivo es pasar el resto del día sin hacer nada hasta que empecemos a guardar las cosas en caso de que el huracán decida lanzarse para acá. No soy alguien que le gusta hacer nada...así que dudo que sea un resto perezoso del día.

Standing proudly with my big pile of dirt which I dug out for our new goldfish pond we are installing in the garden. The first step is finished and now I’ve only got a million more to go but I’m excited about this little water feature in our garden. It’ll include a fountain or waterfall (we haven’t decided yet) and tons of plants surrounding it when it’s all said and done.

Stay tuned!

De pie con orgullo con mi gran montón de tierra que saqué para nuestro nuevo estanque de peces dorados que estamos instalando en el jardín. El primer paso está terminado y ahora solo me quedan un millón más, pero estoy entusiasmado con esta pequeña fuente de agua en nuestro jardín. Incluirá una fuente o una cascada (aún no lo hemos decidido) y toneladas de plantas que lo rodean cuando todo está dicho y hecho.

Wormsloe State Historic site is located a short Ub

Wormsloe State Historic site is located a short Uber ride outside of Savannah, Georgia. The former plantation has a long history going back as far as the year 1739...and the original family still lives on the grounds. The historic site preserves ruins of older buildings and gives a glimpse into the lives of Georgia's earliest settlers. It's also home to one of the most striking and beautiful alleyways lined with Live Oaks. It's a must!

El sitio histórico estatal de Wormsloe se encuentra a poca distancia de Uber, a las afueras de Savannah, Georgia. La antigua plantación tiene una larga historia que se remonta hasta el año 1739 ... y la familia original aún vive en el terreno. El sitio histórico conserva ruinas de edificios más antiguos y da una idea de la vida de los primeros pobladores de Georgia. También es el hogar de uno de los callejones más llamativos y hermosos bordeados de Live Oaks. ¡Es un deber!

It seems like everyone takes photos of doors and I think that's kind of cool. Some doors are really pretty and you see all kinds when you travel around the world. For instance, I really loved the colors of this door I spotted in a small village in the Algarve region of Portugal. They're just so bright and pop so well.

Parece que todos toman fotos de las puertas y creo que es genial. Algunas puertas son realmente bonitas y ves todo tipo cuando viajas por el mundo. Por ejemplo, realmente me encantaron los colores de esta puerta que vi en un pequeño pueblo en la región de Algarve, Portugal. Son tan brillantes y pop tan bien.

This morning Alfred snuck a photo of me reading in our completely refinished living room. So I’m stealing it. It’s a really nice place to hang out now compared to before (see my Story for before and after pics). We finally painted all our walls, installed a wall paper accent, bought new couches, and created a new layout. We figure if we can’t travel then we need to make our home the kind of place where we want to be and that’s why we are slowly doing this summer!

Esta mañana Alfred colocó una foto mía leyendo en nuestra sala de estar completamente renovada. Así que lo estoy robando. Es un lugar realmente agradable para pasar el rato en comparación con antes (ver mi historia para fotos de antes y después). Finalmente pintamos todas nuestras paredes, instalamos un acento de papel de pared, compramos nuevos sofás y creamos un nuevo diseño. Creemos que si no podemos viajar, entonces tenemos que hacer de nuestro hogar el tipo de lugar donde queremos estar, ¡y por eso lo estamos haciendo lentamente este verano!

When you visit the island of Mykonos, it is definitely well worth taking a day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Delos. The island of Delos was a major religious center during the 1st Millennium BC and many, many temples were built to the gods. It was also considered the birthplace of the god, Apollo. When you visit, you can walk through the ruins and glimpse the Lions of Naxos which sit exactly where their temple once stood. These are, of course, replicas. The real sculptures can be viewed at the museum on site.

The Musée d'Orsay is one of my favorite museums b

The Musée d'Orsay is one of my favorite museums because it features a wealth of French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including larger-than-life paintings and sculptures. What makes this museum even better, in my opinion, is located in the old Gare d'Orsay building, which is a former Beaux-Arts train station built between 1898-1900. The building is as much a part of the show as the art.

El Musée d'Orsay es uno de mis museos favoritos porque presenta una gran cantidad de arte francés que data de 1848 a 1914, incluidas pinturas y esculturas más grandes que la vida. Lo que hace que este museo sea aún mejor, en mi opinión, está situado en el antiguo edificio Gare d'Orsay, que es una antigua estación de trenes Beaux-Arts construida entre 1898-1900. El edificio es tan parte del espectáculo como el arte.
