Month: September 2022

Our travels in Croatia have taken us from Zagreb, around Istria, and South to the seaside town of Split. This weekend we find ourselves in what might be considered Split’s neighbor, Dubrovnik. On this adventure, we’ve visited many walled towns on hills with red tile roofs and seaside towns with fortresses and promenades. None of…

Here’s a picture from our adventures today in Croatia. What were we doing? And the answer is . . . Sarah got it right! Good guessing Mom. We did go truffle hunting. There are only two places in the entire world where you can hunt for white truffles, Italy and Croatia. We went truffle hunting…

Today marks our seven-month anniversary of travel! We set out for Argentina from San Diego on 15-February. Really hard to believe it has been that long. We can’t even count how many different beds we’ve slept in. Where are we now? It isn’t Rome! You’re free to guess in the comments.

Weird to say over and over again. The territory is thick with castles and grape vines. It’s our last night in Slovenia (10-September-2022), and…

We, like probably most of you, had no idea. We even…

We’re behind on trip posts as we wind our way around the tiny country of Slovenia. So far, we spent five days in the capital city of Ljubljana and then rented a car for a road trip through what can only be described as fairyland. Lakes Bled and Bohinj were idyllic. In the last two…
