Riding about in the Cotswolds and ran across these folks house. Lot of thatched roof houses here, but this one is particularly lovely.
Yes, we know you have been disappointed by the lack of Roman ruins pictures. They exist, but are rather disappointing to the continent. We largely do not visit these sights or not burden you with images if we do. We have driven on a Roman road many times near Stow Read on...
We are back at home after few weeks on the road. I know, this sentence may look very special in 2021! What a world we are living today!

We finally arrived in Prague after 24 hours of traveling. We had a few issues getting here due to lightning in Orlando resulting in a hour and half delay. Also had a hour and half delay in DC due to a bad auxiliary power unit but ended up getting to Prague ontime and with our luggage! Our scheduled 4 hour layovers saved our butts. Was able to use the United Polaris club which was a God send since Read on...
It is always a lovely feeling to wake up and be greeted by a gentle thought . Thich Nhat Hanh up trumps this morning with his thought for the day . It was about feelings . I felt like staying in bed.

After a good night of rest, we woke up and headed to the hotel restaurant for a caffeine fix and breakfast. We got on the road around 8:30, and knew we had about 8 hours of driving ahead of us, plus a border crossing, but were hoping wed be able to make it to Leon before nightfall.
Today, the weather had cleared, it was sunny and beautiful, and the traffic was pretty light. We were feeling good a Read on...
I wonder what has happened to us. Covid has changed everything. Not for the good. It is Monday and the start of week 21. Week 33 of 2020. Day 223 of the year. A year that feels wasted . My head is sore . An arguement with the corner of a window frame . I wont rise up so quickly from my knees in future. I looked like the mad axeman had attacked me with blood running down my face . I know I am clums Read on...
