Have You Missed Me?

I know. I know. I haven't posted in nearly three weeks. Ed and I have been off on another of our expeditions, this time to Santa Fe, Taos, Mesa Verde, Zion, and the Grand Canyon (North, East, and South rims). Oh, and a night in Chicago (after missing our late-night connection back to Louisville). But we are back now; grateful for safe travels and a sweet home to come home to.

These last 12 months have found us in no less than 23 states and three foreign countries. We've had great fun and learned alot about how to travel. Give me a couple of days to get back into the swing of things here at Farm Dover and I'll share my Top 10 Travel Tips.

In the meantime: some trip photos.

Much of our trip followed the old Route 66: America's Main Street

Waiting outside the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi for a candlelight procession through Santa Fe.

Amazing views. This one taken on an early morning hike in Mesa Verde National Park

And another from Mesa Verde National Park

Two Mittens: Monument Valley, Utah. 

Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings

Our cabin at Zion National Park

A great hike at Tent Rocks, NM. Looks like smurfs should live here.

Grand Canyon, North Rim Hike (10 miles!)

Tree hugger that I am. On hike out to Widfross Point, Grand Canyon North Rim.

We got home today about 3:00 p.m. Hungry, craving something fresh. But we've traveled through so many time zones, we couldn't even figure out if it was lunch or dinner that we needed to address. A trip out to the garden solved our dilemma: BLT. Nothing ever tasted so good. Nice to be home.
