Ecuador & Galapagos

Here’s the first installment!  On our first day in Ecuador, we drove north, almost to the border with Colombia, which garnered many, many raised eyebrows from every Ecuadorian to whom we mentioned it.  We wondered why … Read about our day and I think you’ll wonder, too!

Good title?  Actually, it is the tagline for the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, TX.  Here’s a museum to put on your “bucket list.”  Read why..

Wisconsin Winter Walks

I love the word “journey.”   A journey is so much more than a “trip”.  A journey can be anytime and anywhere. It can be an adventure, large or small, that takes you to a place, real or imaginary.  It offers something you can keep forever:  a thought, a memory, an insight.  So what follows is “A Tale of Two Journeys”.  Here are two walks I took this winter, both on unseasonably warm winter days.  Two walks in the woods.  Two mental journeys with just my imagination for company.

Every day we had in San Diego was more beautiful that the day before.  Here is the journal detailing the last two days, and this time I am even including the link (which I forgot yesterday) so that you can actually read the pages!  (If you haven’t read the first part, it starts here – and will take you to the second.  If you did manage to find he first part, you can read the second part by clicking here.)  Remember, I want your comments!

San Diego – For the first time!

It is really hard to write about a place like San Diego.  It’s my first trip so I am all excited about the things I see, even though pretty much everyone else who will read this has already been. The embarrassment that I will miss something important vies only with the embarrassment that I will gush over something inconsequential. But, I’ll tell it like I see it and, hopefully, when you see it through my eyes, you will experience it the way I have and appreciate it in the same way.  Hope you like it!  Comments, please!
