2024 Eclipse

There was so much hype about the eclipse. Too much hype?

Little Rock Central High School NHS

First NPS site visit of the Oklahoma/Arkansas road trip: Little Rock Central High School.

2,232 miles to Arkansas (and more)

Hey guys! I just got back from a great road trip, and I thought I’d share some of my photographs. Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the post for a map of my itinerary. I left the Denver Metro last Friday afternoon and set out to drive all the way to Wichita after my shift at work. I wasn’t sure I had it in me, but I made it in one shot (+ gas and pee pee stops).

(Very) green mounds

As always, I need to remind people that every state’s got something to offer. So here is my reminder: Iowa has quite a few gems. Effigy Mounds National Monument is one of them, and you should check it out if you get a chance. So green,,, and the views… and the HISTORY!

CO->NE->IA->NE->CO

You know the drill by now, I do relatively long trips in a relatively short amount of time. Two thousand miles later… And again, everyone asked me: “Why would you go to Iowa”? “Do you have family there”?

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

It was my very first time visiting the park and North Dakota!

CO->WY->SD->ND->MT->WY->CO

It was one hell of a ride! Well over 1,500 miles in three days… (probably closer to 2,000 actually).

Garden of the Gods 2.0

Today I’m sharing a few pictures from my second visit to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

Gorgeous Royal Gorge

I had been meaning to visit Royal Gorge by train for a while. A friend visited from California and treated us to some tickets!

#MUCHLATERGRAM: SF’s Japantown

The following photos were taken in 2016. I’m still catching up with posting (and I’m almost there).

#latergram: New England

The following photos were taken in New England back in early 2019… in the “before times”…

Lausanne: lake and mountains

While in Belgium, I flew to Switzerland to visit my aunt and cousins. I hadn’t been to Lausanne in 10 years, and it never gets old.

Monceau-Sur-Sambre…

Yeah. Can you English speakers even attempt to say that? I won’t make fun! (I can’t promise).

BXL in B&W

BXL aka BX aka Bruxelles (in French) in Black & White. It’s always interesting to be a tourist in your own city. The thing is I may actually have become a tourist in Brussels.

Opprebais

You probably haven’t heard of this tiny village (part of the suburb of Incourt) in Belgium, but it boasts two rather interesting features: a windmill and a castle-farm (fortified farmhouse called château-ferme in French).
