We think it's safe to say that most, if not all, of our erudite readers are always happy to eat Mexican food. As much as we love Taco Bell, there is nothing like the real thing, made by real Mexican cooks (and, ideally by someone's madre.) And, the sheer number of dishes that grace the…
To us, anyway, there are few things that have the potential to go bad on a holiday than hiring a car. Paperwork as long as your arm, terms and conditions that are an enigma wrapped in a paradox and shrouded in a conundrum. And, even worse, you don't get the type of vehicle that you…

We all knew that this day would come. It had been predicted for years, but no-one was ready to accept that it could ever be true.
Science kept quiet about it: it wasn't their mantle. And those who knew were also schtum, as they had signed away any knowledge.

Maybe we even hugged (or spoke to) a few trees, because we were just so elated to be out of…
Europeans generally like being with each other, visiting each other's countries, and sharing all that it means to be European.
