I almost cut my sister's finger off one summer at Vacation Bible School with one of these. 70+ years later, she still has the scar.

The cobblestone street is lined with stone buildings, looking up to a grand castle-like structure which is the Fairmont Le Chรขteau Frontenac hotel. 
Colorful umbrellas hang above the very end of the street. Autumn trees show up in the background.

San Miguel de Allende, in the state of Guanajuato. Almost dead center of the country. I lived there for 10 years thru the '90s, left in 2000, then returned in 2013. I had to return to the US in 2021 for health reasons. But I miss it dreadfully.

Route 66 Arizona

Every journey leaves something behind. Sometimes itโ€™s beautiful. The road opens, even where it ends. Stillness marks the places worth returning to. Let the rust remind you that time travels too.

One of the things we have been most impressed about on Vancouver Island are the hiking trails. So many of them go through sensitive areas or over very wet, muddy ground. So there are really long sections of boardwalks. We did a 10km trail where about 40 - 50% of it was on boardwalk.

In 1999 I worked two jobs, saved $3,500 & backpacked Europe for 3 months.

No phone. No plan.

It taught me this: how you travel matters more than how much you spend.

Start before you feel ready. Youโ€™ll never regret learning through adventure.
