Olive Me – Why Not Take Olive Me?

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 11, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareWhole olives or olive oil? As we flew into Seville, Spain, our plane passed over vast groves of olive trees…so appropriate a welcome. I can’t help but wonder what is consumed more – olives in their tasty, meaty entirety? Or the olive oil that goes into virtually every dish? Even at breakfast the Sevillanos drizzle […]

Seville Spain: A Happiness Theory and My “New Math”

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 10, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareIn addition to the Spanish language courses that I’ve been taking, I´ve also been studying math and philosophy in Seville. Please review my research and results below: Sevillian Math: One Way Walk to School = 1 T.V (Tinto Verano) Return Trip from School = 1 Leche Manchada (Some Powerful Coffee with Lots of Milk) Taking […]

Sevilla: Flamenco Fabulousness

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 8, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareAuthentic flamenco, like passion, is elusive. The more desperately you seek it and need it, the more the true-ness of it escapes you. It’s hardly in it’s most genuine form when dinner and sangria are included! The same with describing it. Right now, any proper words just to convey what it is are scarce. Therefore, […]

Always New…York

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 6, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI’ve been here before. But was it the same city? And was I the same person? As Heraclitus of Ephesus observed: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” For a person who enjoys variety and stimulation of every sense, it’s hard […]

Houseboat Happiness: Lake Powell Days 3 & 4

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 14, 2008 Travel and Adventures

Share I’m liking this ritual of a morning kayak through our neighborhood. This time, we go exploring and venture deep into narrowww canyons… we actually abandon my posh Solstice kayak and tuck it away in a dark watery dead end, to protect its’ girly figure, and proceed to force the plastic boats through progressively narrowing […]

ShareMy days on the lake continue… Our first breakfast on “Playtime” , our homey houseboat, was no less than a delectable green chile souffle with fresh salsa, cilantro and bacon brought to you by the good graces of Gretchen, our talented hostesesesess. My favorite coffee beans, Huehuetenango, were also in attendance. We piled into the […]

Houseboat Happiness: Lake Powell Day 1

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 11, 2008 Travel and Adventures

ShareI know, I know. Houseboats sound like something for couples in Bermuda shorts and fishing hats. But my preconceived ideas were turned on their fishing-hatted heads. I had the amazing good fortune of being invited to spend a week on Lake Powell with my dear hiking friends, Jack and Gretchen, along with another couple of […]

New Zealand: Cantering Near Canterbury

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 19, 2007 Travel and Adventures

ShareAnother beautiful day…for riding horses. We were picked up at our hotel and shuttled – along with some Lord of the Rings fans – to a little valley called Glenorchy, 45 minutes outside of Queenstown. The Rings fans went on a tour of movie set sights, on many of the horses used in the filming. […]

New Zealand: Weather…or Not

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 15, 2007 Travel and Adventures

ShareI can’t believe I’m blogging about the weather…but, well, it’s better than politics! It’s funny, looking back on this collection of entries, how much it seems that inclement weather thwarted our plans. But thwart or no, we were always guided to some other pleasant discoveries…if only that my traveling companion (my beloved Mom) and I […]
