We're Back

After a long hiatus, Traveloquitos is back with a little help from my kids Aylin and Emilio, who seem to be better at writing than I was at their age. I know it's a low bar, but it's something. Here they are circa 2015...

Circa Now...

Ten years ago in 2015 - discouraged that an overseas job wasn't in the cards for us - we decided to take a roadtrip through Europe as our consolation. Little did we know that just two years later the election of Trump would drive us right back to Europe, where we have remained since. To be clear, he didn't push us away, it was being surrounded by 70 million people who voted for him. Even so, the irony of fleeing an idiot's version of fascism to shelter in Italy - the birthplace of fascism - was not lost on us. Neither was the symbolism in escaping the tiny grip of a tiny-handed autocrat to be welcomed by the dispraportionately large hands of Leonardo da Vinci's statute at his namesake airport in Roma. Haven't looked back since. Como stai bello?
