This yacht followed us from Barca up the Costa Brava. It’s the 79th largest yacht in the world.

We have affectionately dubbed our time in Barca as “fake life”. Why? Take a look at a typical fake life day…

This morning, I ran the British 10K London Run as a fundraising event for Age Concern Kensington & Chelsea. The course wound its way through the capital, passing many of the major tourists sites. The weather was fairly decent, which is much better than what we had during the week. 24,000+ runners [...]

Mr KZ arrived in town yesterday and, being the music guru that he is, he had us going to The Shins concert at the Forum in Kentish Town. I thought this was quite the feat after flying to London from Seattle via Dallas and only having a short afternoon nap. We sat in [...]
