I had a fantastic time in Edinburgh in August 2010, so I was excited to get this guest post about exploring the city on the cheap. It brought back such special memories.

I spent a few days in Majorca one August, and I’ve always heard that it’s lovely in the fall. So when this guest post arrived about the Autumn Olive Festival in the village of Caimari, I was very intrigued to learn more about what the cultural happenings in this beautiful island. As the days get […]
