It was only last week, but seems like much longer, when we had back to back days that really amplified and accentuated the types of travel and travellers we have had contact with over our years of travel. To give a bit of understanding of us, we aren’t terribly interested in the typical touristy places. […]
Category: Musings
So, we’ve been back home for quite a while now settling in to a normal routine. I’ve never done so many home renos and fixits, tiling, caulking, drywall patching, painting, stripping, moving earth and moving it back! Two bathroom renos and a major fence build. Enough, time for something else! Of course we also have […]
Found the dog, not the thanks.
We were out for a walk the other day, down to the gym for a workout then our continued walk home the long way around. It wasn’t a terribly warm, about 6-7 degrees c. After a workout at the gym we walked up Mt. Tolmie, and as we did, an enthusiastic dog ran up to […]
We’ve been back home for two weeks, and I’m trying to get this post completed before the experience just turns into a mushy memory. I do need to hurry. Well, what a trip indeed. Our first extended motorbike trip. We are still reflecting, thinking about our adventure, and adjusting to life back home. We spent […]
No Retreating Here.
We’re in the last week of our almost three month motorcycle trip, and according to the plan, I’m spending the end of the trip on an Insight Meditation retreat. Lars is camping and staying nearby. He is a long time practitioner and participated in a similar retreat last fall. So, this one is mine and […]
Simplicity…
We’ve been travelling in one way or another for just less than two months. On motorbikes for the majority, with a break for two weeks flying Las Vegas to New Orleans and back. We’ll be away for another month-six weeks before before getting home. We are both very much enjoying this lifestyle. I think we’re […]
People!
We have met some amazing and wonderful people on our road trip. Motorcyclists often seek one another out, and there’s a kinship of a shared hobby or activity that connects people. We have been sharing contact info with folks, and if we have met you, we truly would love to hear from you again. Keep […]
Mississippi, Katrina, Nola
We left New Orleans yesterday, just closing out our trip in the southern states. Ocean Springs Mississippi was our end destination, before we did a turnaround to begin the long journey home. How can I say, we have had just a wonderful time. We stayed with Marie and Ray and their super hyper but terribly […]
Practically reflecting
We’re just back from a month away from home, finding some sun from the wet and grey west coast Canada winter. Travel is always a wonderful opportunity to get perspective on things, our home lives. This little post is a combo of topics from our Canary Islands trip; the practical and some musings. Our primary […]
