As with everything else, there were many rules and regulations around the placement of the trailer: it should not be visible from the road or the sky (alien invasion??). This property is two acres and has a very large open area in the centre and ‘falls off’ towards the back of the property. This madeContinue reading “Time to take the trailer to El Parque”

Building a Fire Pit at El Parque, Alberta
Next on the agenda was clearing a spot and building a fire pit. As with everything else, there are regulations, including size of the clearing around the pit and proximity to water. Daryl ordered a pit and finally it was ready. It was so big it barely fit in the truck. There would be asContinue reading “Building a Fire Pit at El Parque, Alberta”
El Parque: Alberta Summer Retreat #3
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”
Our Alberta Summer Retreat: #2
Summer 2021 was busy! This raw piece of land is going to become a future camping area, with emphasis on future. What we have is beauty, tranquility and nature. What we don’t have is electricity, water or cell service. Good hard labor definitely needed to make an oasis. Where to start? Once enough dead limbsContinue reading “Our Alberta Summer Retreat: #2”
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””
More Roatan, and then I came home!
Our plan was to spend two months in Roatan, but plans don’t always work out. We have this wonderful travel insurance that lasts for three months. You come home and the travel insurance ‘resets’, then away you go for another three months. This year we decided not to come home due to the hassle withContinue reading “More Roatan, and then I came home!”
Snorkelling in Half Moon Bay March 2022
The little town of West End, Roatan, Honduras has incredible snorkelling in Half Moon Bay. It has become our ‘almost daily’ form of exercise. Well, for me it is. Daryl does the diving thing and then will go snorkelling with me. Daryl loves diving here. I like the fact that he can go do twoContinue reading “Snorkelling in Half Moon Bay March 2022”
West End, Roatan
After three months in Pedasi, with the temperature around 30C-31C every day, lots of sunshine and not a drop of rain, we arrived on Roatan to cool temperatures (25C), cloud and rain. How sad is it to say, I was ‘freezing’ for the first couple of days we were here. We have stayed up thisContinue reading “West End, Roatan”
Tree trimming in Pedasi!
This house had two gigantic trees; a bunch of bamboo in the backyard yard and an olive tree on the side of the house. Early on in our stay, we had ‘a guy’ remove the noisy branch from behind the bohio. Back then, early in December, everything was green and the bamboo tree full andContinue reading “Tree trimming in Pedasi!”
Let’s take a road trip to Torio
One Sunday we went out for lunch, and eight hours later we arrived back home. Normally, I am the world’s worst passenger when driving, but not this time. The scenery was spectacular. Our destination was the little town of Torio. Driving over a mountain range everything was brown, the scenery very similar to driving inContinue reading “Let’s take a road trip to Torio”
