(Written December 16, 2013) Today was great. We got up, made a fire (for heat), ate a delicious tamale breakfast outside, and started our cooking classes. Jon and Estela are wonderful… And funny. I’ll make a post at the end of all the food. But it was so great. We learned around 6 traditional dishes… Read More Tlaxcala
(Written Dec 15, 2013) I love Mexico. And to my pleasant surprise, my Spanish isn’t horrible. I mean, I speak pretty horribly, but I understand WAY more than I expected!! I guess my Houston Spanish radio paid off 🙂 I held a fairly ongoing conversation with our cool driver on the 2 hour drive from… Read More Mexico
We’d been driving for hours through the middle of no where Montana without passing through any normal sized towns. I needed to eat. We had stuff for sandwiches in the back, but Erisa and Anxhela were pretty adamantly against sandwiches on this particular day. The closest thing my Around Me app could find was nearly… Read More When Sandwiches Aren’t Good Enough
Glacier National Park was incredible. Did a sweet 5 mile hike. Met a cool old couple from Calgary. Everyone was impressed that we’d come all the way from Texas. Almost saw a black bear. Totally worth the long drive out of our way. And Montana is beautiful but driving long distances doesn’t not bring out… Read More Glacier National Park
Yellowstone has been an adventure. The first day we drove mostly in the north part hoping to see wildlife. And we did. A ton of buffalo! Those guys are EVERYWHERE. There were even several traffic jams because they were darting back and forth across the road. And we saw Mammoth Hot Springs, which was cool.… Read More Yellowstone
North Dakota was a good decision. We didn’t have much on our agenda here, so we spent the morning sleeping in and being lazy. We were about to get ready to go around noon… But then a movie came on that we had caught like 5 minutes of the night before and we decided to… Read More North Dakota
Back in Wyoming, we were exhausted by the time we got to our awesome Bed and Breakfast called Sawin Logs owned by sweet Twila and Roy. Twila recommended a restaurant for dinner in the nearby Hulett. I had put off eating for the past hour or so because I kept thinking we’re almost there; we’re… Read More Wyoming
We enjoyed South Dakota. Beautiful scenery on the way to Mt. Rushmore And Mt. Rushmore was cooler than I imagined. After a hike on The Presidents’ Trail and a picnic lunch at a nearby lake, we decided to make a stop at the Crazy Horse Memorial. We totally lucked out and got to see them… Read More South Dakota
After eating delicious donuts and coffee for breakfast in Ft. Collins with Becca and Robert, we picked up our rental car and headed to Wyoming. We weren’t in Wyoming long (we’ll be back in a few days to explore) because we headed east to take a gander at Nebraska. Nebraska was way less boing than… Read More Where the Motorcycles Are
The air in Colorado is so fresh! My cousin, Rebecca, was nice enough to drive an hour to pick us up from the airport at 7:15am. 🙂 I love my family. It was great to see her and it was even better that she didn’t have to work all day. She took us to a… Read More Cousin Time in Colorado
