Summer of 2022 was incredibly busy. April we were both back in Canada and made our first trip to El Parque. Everything was as we had left it last fall. We had a list of ‘must do’s’ that needed immediate attention: building a storage shed, building a fire pit, installing trail cameras and preparing aContinue reading “El Parque: Alberta Summer Retreat #3”

An Alberta Summer Retreat “El Parque”
In the summer of 2021 Daryl went on a quest to find the perfect private camping spot. Who knows what prompted this search. Maybe it had something to do with the influx of campers during the last two summers. Camping was a great Covid activity, however finding a ‘good’ spot became difficult unless you wereContinue reading “An Alberta Summer Retreat “El Parque””
PEDASI, PANAMA
Pedasi is a small town in Los Santos province, Panama. When you look online you can find numbers that say the population of Pedasi ranges anywhere from 2500 – 4000. Whatever its actual size it has a lot to offer when you want to get away from a cold Canadian winter. In distance, it isContinue reading “PEDASI, PANAMA”
Loving Everything Beach
It’s hard to believe we have been in Pedasi for two months already!! When we left home we knew it would be a quiet winter with less “out and about”, and it has been. I am thankful that we are able to be away from the cold, snow and ice. From the beginning our mainContinue reading “Loving Everything Beach”
Lagos, Portugal, 2020
We took a day trip to Lagos, which is another small city not far from where we are living in Praia da Rocha. Each time we go out exploring, I think it is not possible for the sights to be even more beautiful, but it always is. Our first planned stop was Ponta da Piedade.Continue reading “Lagos, Portugal, 2020”
Monchique, Portugal 2020
Another little town not far from where we are staying in Monchique. It is in the mountains, with a totally different look and feel. The town itself is rather charming. One of the main attractions is a 17th century monastery about a 15 minute walk from town. We did not do it as our dayContinue reading “Monchique, Portugal 2020”
Arriving in Portimao,Portugal 2020
We had a flight out of Gatwick at 3 PM, left our hotel at 11 AM which gave us a chance to grab a bite to eat. Checking in was seamless…as was our arrival. Passenger rights was prominently displayed. It was a three hour flight to Faro and then an hour drive to Portimao. OnContinue reading “Arriving in Portimao,Portugal 2020”
London 2020, Day 3
Our last full day in London. We again took the hop-on hop-off bus with a few main goals, but were open to where ever the spirit took us. Our first stop was Trafalgar Square. Could have easily spent all day there!! Lots of buskers. We went to the National Gallery, and could have easily spentContinue reading “London 2020, Day 3”
London 2020, Day 2
As we only had two full days in London, we decided the best way to see as much as possible, was to buy a two day hop-on hop-off bus pass. Initially we “did the tour” and listened to the commentary. It was interesting, and so much information. We drove past Westminister Abby and the churchContinue reading “London 2020, Day 2”
London 2020
We had a couple of days at home, thanks Heather and Mike for the wonderful hospitality. Before we actually had a chance to catch our breath we were off to London. I actually slept for a coupe hours so wasn’t dead when we arrived. We took the Gatwick Express to Victoria Station. It was quick.Continue reading “London 2020”
