We toured the Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde National Park. Today we left New Mexico, heading north and straight to Mesa Verde National Park. Tour groups ahead of ours at the Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park. Honestly, in my opinion, Mesa Verde National Park is probably the most beautiful piece of […] The Four Corners — right at the center. Today’s adventure took us (on this segment of the trip, I’ve been joined by Cynical Queer, but I was navel gazing when talking about the railroad, so he wasn’t introduced then) to the Four Corners Monument, which is nicely located at the corners of four states: […] Guess what I toured… So far my trip has been great, with one exception. I made all my tight connections (1 hour in Munich (Schengen to International (to the US on a US Flagged carrier)) and Washington (I had a spare 10 minutes before my flight boarded after completing Immigration, Customs, and TSA)) and […] I’m just a couple days into a serious vacation – nothing I could get away with calling a “long weekend,” but an honest to go, using vacation days, vacation.

We (my guests and I) headed to Usedom, an island that is at the north-east corner of Germany, with the eastern bit of the island in Poland. I’d picked the place because there was a technical museum that looks at the history […] A Stuffed Burrito Sonoma at Good Morning Mama's Moving So Fast… Victory Field at Dusk Hanging Lamps
