Be Sick When You Travel

That’s a good clickbait title, but what happens if you don’t feel well on a one-in-a-lifetime trip? I have health issues that have stopped me from doing activities; it happens.

Why is Leonardo Divenci buried in France?

Visiting France Part 3 I saw a lot of Chateau the first few days, and Chateau Royal d’Amboise was unexpected because Leonardo (the artist, not the TMNT) Divenci was buried there.

Visiting Antarctica

Part Eleven Mikkelsen Harbor The beach was mostly cleared of snow and Ice, which allowed me to see some cool rocks! Some of the larger chunks of snow and ice created some great images and more penguins. I think the darker rocks make colors pop; this was on the same 40-foot or 12-meter stretch ofContinue reading “Visiting Antarctica”
