Wow, YouTube is BRUTAL. We got one 👎 and our view # fell off a cliff. Literally went from averaging 100+ views per day to zero.
Anyway, here's another one some random dude on the interwebz probably won't like, too

Surprise find the other day: jellied fruit in dark chocolate! 🍊 Orange is a fave (classic!), but pear and banana? 🤔 Never tried those. I can almost imagine the pear... but banana jelly? That’s a wild card. Curious to see how they stack up! 🍫

Just wrapped up a bottle—2nd fave after the Carmenère. Fuller flavor, a bit sharp. Next: a Cab! Accidentally mixed up Carmenère & Cabernet Sauvignon (both red, start w/ 'Ca' 🤷‍♀️). Moving to Santiago for a week, so the next pour will probably be in Mexico. 🍷

Probably one of my favorite exteriors... the architecture and tile details of this building was amazing!

Google says it won’t fact-check for EU’s new law. Could this lead to bans or limits on Google in Europe? As fulltime travelers and travel bloggers, losing such a tool could be a big shift.

Something very cool we totally stumbled across while we were in London. It doesn't have quite the same impact on a small screen but imagine it with 30+ foot tall screens. only recorded the first couple of minutes; I think the full show is almost 7 minutes long
