Best wishes for speedy recoveries. I can recommend my physical therapist if you need one.<br /><br />@Sun-Ling - sherry should be drunk before meals, maybe with nibbles like nuts and gherkins, just as port should be drunk after meals, or with the cheese course. Not really a food wine, except, as you say, IN the food. Surprised about the advise, the solera system for producing sherry should be interesting to see, quite different from "table" wine.Kathyhttp://mytimetotravel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20810230.post-73264047781529991802017-04-04T11:26:28.293-04:002017-04-04T11:26:28.293-04:00@Kathy, not to mention Manzanillas.

We were advised to skip the bodega tours, which we did, since I only enjoy drinking while nibbling, haha.Sun-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698854617881648602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20810230.post-2297432487285097942017-04-03T09:54:36.024-04:002017-04-03T09:54:36.024-04:00So here you are weeks into your travels and you...So here you are weeks into your travels and you've seen no comments from me, your usual correspondent. I don't recall if Jeanne had already fractured her L Ulna (forearm just above wrist) when you departed. She fought her towable luggage on the RDU escalator and the luggage won, toppling her downward, her head lower that her feet and luggage. An attendant ran to the emergency stop button and stopped the escalator. After we untangled and walked to the top, RDU EMS wrongly advised that he didn't think her arm was fractured so we continued on to San Francisco. That was Friday, February 17, and, on the following Saturday, a Kaiser Permanente xray proved the Ulna fractured. She's now in her third cast with expectation it will be removed coming Friday.<br /><br />Meanwhile, past Sunday, I crashed in a Walnut Creek Greenway tunnel and fractured multiple ribs on my backside. As you know or have been told, fxed ribs are VERY painful. Jeanne can't yet drive as she can't put her seatbelt on so I'm continuing my shuttle duties barely able to slide into to the driver's seat. <br /><br />It was a grave error for me to be riding, subjecting myself to injury, while she is injured. STUPID! Nevertheless, you Meckleys have been missed though not forgotten. My eyesight is so bad, I must lean closer to the monitor and this is problematic with ribs stabbing me.<br /><br />Hope your travels are going well.<br />Crash Eddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347819537922992042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20810230.post-48851655166361435672017-04-02T14:17:36.006-04:002017-04-02T14:17:36.006-04:00Tio Pepe and La Ina are both very dry finos.

Lots of different styles to try - amontillado is less dry, oloroso is often more complex (don't buy it sweetened!) Did you visit a sherry bodega?Kathyhttp://mytimetotravel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20810230.post-24478518332556687772017-04-01T16:03:00.272-04:002017-04-01T16:03:00.272-04:00@Kathy, Thanks for finding that typo!:-) It's ...@Kathy, Thanks for finding that typo!:-) It's now fixed....The Tio Pepe and La Ina, both recommended by our apartment owner, were sitting side by side on the shelf at Carrefour, both priced at about 6.50 euros for a .75 L bottle. Hmmm. Went with Tio Pepe as I just like saying the name: Tio Pepe, Tio Pepe. ;-) Anyway it was the first sherry I recall drinking and to my surprise I liked it. johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229963702961511828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20810230.post-69376384073323986152017-04-01T13:07:09.001-04:002017-04-01T13:07:09.001-04:00Ah, Tio Pepe!
