On The Road Again…

Well, until covid! We have had to cancel our 2020 trip to Sweden and our 2021 trip to Croatia. Hopefully, we’ll be able to resume our wandering soon.

2019 – Peru:

Roman Catholic Chapel in Tacoma
Nasca Lines – It was a harrowing flight in a small plane
Isla Ballestas, the Poor Man’s Galapagos
Lori and husband Approaching Machu Picchu
Poor Llama, We were tired, too, after making the climb!
We visited the day before the solar equinox. The sun was reflecting in this pool of water that was used as a calendar.
Cemetery in Cusco. Do I ever travel anywhere without visiting a cemetery?!
Cusco Market. It’s a small world! Those delicacies are made the way my Croatian grandmother made loditina.
Shaman with my husband and I. We had a translator who explained the significance of items used in ritual ceremonies.
Saqeaywaman – Check out the “cat’s paw.” I was missing my own so it was time to go home.

2018 –Mexico, NGS Conference in North Carolina and Cuba:

Isn’t this a magical photo?! We’re exploring at the Archaeological Zone Dzibanche. All the photos show the rainbow which we didn’t see when we were there. It was a long way down so I decided to sit and take it slow going down the uneven steps. Forgot my phone was in my rear pocket. The phone never worked again but all my photos were saved. Now that’s magical!
Kohunlich, Mexico
Altun Ha, Mexico – love the red dye on the stones!
Husband and I on the wedding platform at San Gervasio on Cancun. We were supposed to be at Tulum but due to a terrorist threat, couldn’t leave the island. Mayans came from far away to be married on this spot.
Researching in Raleigh, NC.
Hemingway’s Home, Havana, Cuba. Who knew that his favorite bar, Sloppy Joes, was once a chain?!
