Goldtown, Railtown, Jamestown

Okay, we've got quite a bit of blog backlog to clear here. Access to free WiFi has been limited cos we've been staying in a couple of uppity hotels for a change and free Internet access is not one of the things that your money goes towards - we'll update on that in the next few entries. Back...

Royal Treatment (Of Sorts)

At the Royal Carriage Inn in Jamestown, we stepped out of our cottage one morning and heard a strange "tok tok tok" sound above our heads. Lo and behold - hammering away to their hearts content were 2 sweet little woodpeckers with their red caps perched on a wooden beam nearby. They were pecking...

Cooking Mama

I must be the only person in the world who can burn a store-bought, ready-made donut to crisp in a microwave oven. Apparently 2 minutes is way too long to take a donut for a spin in Microwaveland. When I retrieved it from the cook-box, it was literally frying in its own sugar. So I had...

Austin

We spent three nights in Austin, TX. The city is really nice with lots of music and alternative people. We had some typical Texas BBQ and a nice view over the city from one of the highest points of the area. Afterwards we went to a non touristic bar in Austin. The city is really worth a trip!

Mountain Goats

According to the stars and planets, Dan and I are goats. He's a Capricorn and I'm born in the Year of the Goat. I've come to a conclusion that we're both not related to the mountainous kinds and must be of a breed that has an affinity for warm grasslands, meadows and even farms. If there were...

The White Stuff

Dannie does not like The White Stuff. Dannie likes Sunshine. Warm Seas. Golden Sands. Lulling Breezes. Sunny Beaches. Girls in Bikinis. Wife in Bikini. So we're driving along Hwy 120 into Yosemite National Park and I see a sliver of white on the mountain peaks. YL (excited shriek):...

Zwei Naechte in El Trucko

Texarkana is a little city on the border of Arkansas and Texas. We spent one night in our El Trucko and found out that it is really comfortable. We bought some outdoor gear and moved on into Texas.
