West Coast Spring 2018 – Grand Tetons, Part Two
August 6 -7 We continued on to Jenny Lake, stopping at an overlook that afforded many shots of the lake with the range in the background. At these crowded spots, it sometimes takes many moments to get a clear picture without any other tourists in the frame. It’s the price one pays for traveling during […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Victoria, Part One
July 14 – 16 With a three hour drive ahead of us to clear customs and catch our 12:45 ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, we wanted to leave plenty of time for Jenny Manetta to bugger things up, we made sure we were out the door by 8:00am. Just before hitting the road we […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Russian Gulch State Park
June 27 – 29 After a pretty good breakfast at the Best Western, we loaded up the car and headed out, for what we’d originally anticipated would be a short drive, but turned out to be longer as we opted to head to Highway 1 instead of Highway 101 for the journey to Russian Gulch […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Oakland, Part One
June 14 – 17 How many times have we traversed I-5 through the Central Valley? Too many to count; recalling those early days when no services were available except for a lone gas station or two until the first real restaurant appeared at the Harris Ranch. We haven’t stopped there to eat in quite some […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Sikeston
May 18 – 19 Because we had to cancel our weeklong ride along the Katy Trail, we needed to fill up the days before arriving in Kansas at my sister Bev’s place. We added a day to Nashville and one to our stay with her, which still left us with six nights to fill. We […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Nashville, Part Four
May 14 – 17 With some time to kill our last morning in Nashville, Joanna took her bike out for a ride on the nearby greenway (my knee was still in no condition to do so) while I read and worked on the blog. After she returned and cleaned up, we drove to Post East […]
Europe 2017 – The Legend of Jenny Manetta
August 24 – November 15 As promised (threatened?) in the last post, I’d like to talk a bit about Jenny Manetta, who we’ve referred to quite a few times while we recounted our month with the Greeks, and for those of you whose heads are spinning as I’ve time shifted major sections of the blog […]
Europe 2017 – Summary, Part Five
August 24 – November 15 The final country we’d spend time in is one we continue to find fascinating and wonder how we’ve let it slip past us during the course of our many visits to Europe. This would be France. Although we’d been to Paris many times when stopping in to see Francois and […]
Europe 2017 – Provence Part Four
November 2 – 7 We had another full day ahead of us that Monday, so we didn’t waste much time in the morning, eating breakfast in the room, checking out of the Best Western and walking back to the Arles train station to ride up to Avignon and get the rental car from Hertz. We […]
Europe 2017 – Provence Part Three
November 2 – 7 We left the Palace of the Popes and made our way, after a couple of stops to view places listed in the tour (Church of St. Pierre: The original walnut doors were carved in 1551, Place des Châtaignes: The cloister of St. Pierre, 15th-Century Building: With its original beamed eaves showing, […]
