About Me

My photo
This is all about my transition from an American lifestyle and culture to my newest adventure, life in Spain, in the city of Palma on the island of Mallorca in the middle of the Mediterranean sea!! I moved from the USA to Cuenca, Ecuador, South America and lived there for 7 years before moving here to Spain in early 2018. I'll be recapping some of my day-to-day experiences (and mishaps) to highlight what it's like to live here....across the pond...as well as Home Exchange trips to exciting places all over Europe!

Wow, That's Some Knockers You Got There !!


Nothing like sneaking around and taking photos of peoples' knockers, right?

Stop your gasping and clutching your pearls!!

WHAT??!!  What's the big deal?

I'm sure these people are very proud of their knockers...maybe even enjoy showing them off!!

Let's be real.  If YOU were endowed with the economic means, wouldn't you choose to enhance your front side?

Warning:  Before you proceed, please realize these knockers are not the typical pretty, perky, young things you see everywhere these days....they show their age.  Treat them with Respect.  Personally, I find them to be beautiful works of art!!  After all, these knockers have lived a long life but to me, they're ageless.

Wait a minute.....you weren't thinking I was referring to........??  AHEM!!!

GET IT OUT OF THE GUTTER!!!



Do I know what door knockers are?

Nope, doesn’t ring a bell.



Why did the scientist install a door knocker?

Coz he wanted to win a no-bell prize!!!!!!!!

The following knockers I spotted while visiting Dubrovnik.

The last two are not knockers, they're door-pulls.  Here, it's very common to find the handle in the middle of the front door.  The first one is on my front door.  They don't turn and they don't engage a locking mechanism.




Knock, Knock!
Who’s there?
