One of our reasons for visiting Texas was to meet up with Cherie’s family at her father’s submarine veterans reunion in San Antonio, and visit her brother in Austin.

Video Edition: Old Route 66 Gravel Road
Much of our time in Arizona and New Mexico was spent following Historic Route 66, where you could occasionally see both the newer I-40 and slight remnants of the Old Route 66 off to the side.

I had someone write me this morning who misread my profile where I described myself as a technomad (technology integrated nomad). They asked: “Just what is a technomaid?” So, for the fun of it, I put it out to the Twitterverse and Facebook, and got a lot of fun answers: – Someone who cleans bread […]
Video Edition: Chapel of the Holy Dove
On our way back from the Grand Canyon to rejoin with Route 66, we took Highway 180 south in to Flagstaff, AZ. It was a beautiful drive, and on the way we spotted an interesting little building off to the side of the road. We turned around to take a peak, and discovered it was […]
