Death Valley National Park, California USA

Death Valley here we come!! Wait a minute! The road is closed..!!  (Screw that! 😉  We’ve been on paved park roads long enough now.. NO idea why the road is closed.. it’s not going to snow anytime soon.  It’s not water logged.. there’s nobody around to ask, and it looks like far more fun than the average paved road the masses of...

Yosemite National Park, California USA

After leaving the casino the following morning, Randy heads home to Oregon while James, Adam and I move on to the famous Yosemite National Park. But before we do.. after a night in a nice warm bed and a proper shower, we KNOW we are going to be camping next.  So off to the grocery store to stock up.  I keep teasing these two that it’s embarrassing to...

Bosnia – Beauty and Bullet Holes

We eventually made it into Sarajevo, Bosnia, where we are to meet and stay with Josip’s wealthy business friends.  It really struck me as we are parking under the veranda near the pool, how nice and pretty this property in the middle of town was. As on the other side of the pool is more of a bold reality of war-torn Sarajevo.  It’s like night...

Montenegro PLUS Albania and Macedonia

No, Blazo… you can’t come with me!! Just kidding, he’s not begging to come along.. more like begging me to go!  😉  Well not that either, not really sure why he’s taken this position on the beach.. but we have fun teasing him about it.. Spent my last night in Montenegro.  Blazo has done so well to show me the majority of his country, and I finally have...

Montenegro Part 2

The next day, a very enthusiastic Blazo has the entire day completely planned! First stop he organized us to meet both a television and newspaper journalist. These things make me nervous and I get embarrassed, but we got through it.. it was special for a couple reasons.  First, Montenegro really followed these boys on their  so I am sure it was good for an...

My alps...

I expected to see them in Austria.. but you can see how I was shocked. The lovely soft rolling hills of green. I assumed my clue that I was getting close to...
