We were lucky enough to spend the winter in Mexico, enjoying four and a half months in Cabo San Lucas after a wonderful road trip to get to Baja California Sur. As our time there drew to a close, and knowing that the future is never certain, I reflected on what I loved about our... Continue Reading →
I have been sick for the month of March. Sounds bizarre, but it’s a fact. I started with a scratchy throat on Feb. 29. That extra day of 2016 was not a good one. I didn’t feel like doing anything until March 12, almost two weeks later. In between, I had sinus congestion, a sore... Continue Reading →

To start the day, the coffee is outstanding. People who don’t like strong coffee may not be too... Continue Reading →
Another great aspect of travel is learning about other cultures and meeting new people. While we have not been out in the city too much yet, I have been trying to learn new things about Bern, the area and its people. I learned from one of the volunteers that Bern, the fourth most populous city... Continue Reading →
When I’m traveling, I find that the best way to get to know a city is to walk it. And I love to walk. So this morning I struck out in Berne (or Bern) while Ron did preparations with his team. I decided to follow the path we went our first night, when we walked... Continue Reading →
