You all probably know by now that we love pretty much everything about food. Shopping for it, preparing it, and of course, eating it is one of our go-to pastimes. So, when our friend Donald, who lives with his wife Kate and adopted pup Pee Wee here in San Miguel de Allende, invited us to… Continue reading San Miguel de Allende – For The Love of Dogs, People, and Food

We got rid of most of our "stuff" and rented our home so we could explore the world unencumbered. Pet sitting has enhanced our journey geometrically.
Christmas Magic in San Miguel de Allende
Saturday was one of those magical days that we have learned to expect since being on the road. When we began our travel journey we greeted acts of genuine kindness and hospitality with suspicion. We were certain that perfect strangers never (or rarely, at best) invited another stranger into their home. Things like that just… Continue reading Christmas Magic in San Miguel de Allende
A Place of Peace and Color
San Miguel de Allende is nothing if not colorful. The people, homes, streets, restaurants, and cafe's, are more vibrant than most of the places we have ever visited. The color combined with the friendliness makes San Miguel de Allende magical. This journey has helped us notice color more than ever. We have discovered how vibrant… Continue reading A Place of Peace and Color

A Visit With A Few Furry Four Legged Friends
You may know by now that Bev and I love horses. Everything about them is majestic, to us. They are pretty big, huge in some cases, yet their eyes are usually gentle. They move with such grace while starting and stopping on a dime. We find everything about them beautiful. We are blessed to have… Continue reading A Visit With A Few Furry Four Legged Friends
Who Said John Wouldn’t Enjoy This Journey?
From the very beginning of our traveling adventure, many of our friends and followers wondered “How is John about this?” Close friends thought, and some actually said, “he’ll be back in 6 months”. This public display of skepticism is my fault. On many occasions (more than I care to admit) you would hear me say… Continue reading Who Said John Wouldn’t Enjoy This Journey?
30 Years and Getting Stronger
Yesterday was our 30 Anniversary. Why we had been telling everyone it was number 31 is anyone's guess. John keeps telling people that he knew his career in banking would be short-lived because he couldn't add. Oh, well, we think thirty pretty great. Hover your cursor over the image to read the caption. Anniversaries… Continue reading 30 Years and Getting Stronger
A Day at the Races
On the recommendation of our neighbor, Diana, we drove over to the Montague Inn, to check it out for our 31st anniversary lunch. Luckily we met the owner, Sean O'callahan. Not only did he make sure we were "properly" cared for, but he invited us to be his guests at the races at the Wincanton… Continue reading A Day at the Races
A Step Back in Time at The Blackmore Vale Hunt
Saturday, October 20 we woke early and found a wonderful email invitation from our neighbor in Henstridge, England to attend the inaugural Blackmore and Sparkford Vale Hunt. Since we love horses so much, and since it was a beautiful sunny, dry day (a very rare thing on this trip to England) we jumped on the… Continue reading A Step Back in Time at The Blackmore Vale Hunt
A Piece of Our Hearts Will Remain On The Road.
It is the end of week 4 in North Curry, England and, as usual, we are beginning to have some mixed emotions. We are looking forward to visiting Bradford-on-Avon and Bath for a few days. A walking tour, Instagram photography workshop and probably a cooking class are on the agenda. Then we are off to… Continue reading A Piece of Our Hearts Will Remain On The Road.
