After Stockholm, Larry and I flew in to Las Vegas. We stayed two nights at the Mandalay Bay Resort. Friday evening we went up to have a drink at the Skyfall Lounge which gave a terrific rooftop view of the strip. We then grabbed Japanese at one of the many restaurants in the resort and… Read More Two more side quests on our way to Montana
This is the post where I catch up on the crazy leg of the tour. So when last we met, I was one week in on our two week time in Utah. The second week held some brilliant highlights, but on the day I would normally shoot to do a blog post, we were in… Read More Seems we’ve pulled it off
Has it really only been a week (basically)? It feels like we’ve been here for way longer. It feels like we’ve been to a different planet too. Southern Utah has a lot to offer, and more than we can possibly take in during the short time we have for this visit. We have managed to… Read More Only a week so far?
Today I went by myself to Bryce Canyon and had my mind blown, my soul rung like a bell, my thoughts empty but for the fragments of poetry that were playing out in front of my very eyes. TS Eliot, Peter Mulvey, Mary Oliver, Walt Whitman. So many of their words were with me today… Read More Then spoke the thunder
We left Tennessee and spent two full days driving. The first day landed us in Amarillo, Texas, in time for an excellent dinner of Tex Mex and a good night’s sleep. The second day brought us from Texas to Utah, passing through Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona. We passed stunning scenery, the likes of which… Read More Nomads heading west
After an all-too-short time in Florida we drove 13 hours to get to Dickson, Tennessee. There we spent a week with family and friends, visiting graves, holding newly born babies, sitting around countless kitchen tables, enjoying community meals, and celebrating vow renewals. It was a beautiful visit with beautiful people in a beautiful part of… Read More Middle Tennessee
Our last week in Buenos Aires was balanced with playing tourist and taking care of the normal things. Because my classes were over, I was able to spend a little more time on seeing some sights. I toured the Colón Theater and the Bella Arts Museum. I explored more neighborhoods including Chinatown and a revisit… Read More Week four in Buenos Aires
I’ve been mulling something over for a while. I think I’ve finally realized what I’m feeling, but I’m no closer to being able to explain it than I was when I first started experiencing the tugging in my heart. So I think I’ll pull on some threads here and see what I uncover. I am… Read More The heart wants what the heart wants
The third week was a continuation of essentially trying to live a normal life. Every day during the week included the gym, Spanish lessons for me, work for Larry, basic chores and provisioning, and then out for dinners in the evenings. It was incredibly rainy on Monday, and many places around here simply are not… Read More Week Three in Buenos Aires
Laura was late for class. She was never late. In fact, until now, she was always the first one there. When she finally arrived she was wearing a thick, white hoodie over her raven long hair. She kept her eyes down, her usual, easy smile missing. I was concerned but couldn’t do much more than… Read More seething
