  • Baking, Boarding, and Beyond

    Don’t it always seem to go, that when you are actually doing things it’s hard to sit down and write about them… Jetting (or rather, turbo-propping) off again The week came with another stint across the water. This time it was much smoother with no delays, and on the way back I had enough time…

The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Any Port(o) in a Storm – Port 1

    That should be Part 1, perhaps after too much port. I spent a few days in Porto visiting a laboratory for a digital pathology workshop. Of course, I couldn’t come this far and not spend a bit of time exploring the city on the Douro. Plane. Train. Automobile. And bus. That’s how you get to…
