You’re right if it seems to you like we’re usually having a great time visiting different parts of this vast country and going where we may not have a chance to go to if we lived in one place? Well, we are very fortunate that we have both the time (being retired) and the opportunity to enjoy these years together and fortunately to be in good health.
In the past two years we’ve been awed by wonderful scenery in National Parks like Zion, took numerous photos of rock formations in Arches in southern Utah, ascended the world’s highest cog train to the top of Pike’s Peak (14,115’), in Colorado Springs, rode a jet boat up the Rogue river in Oregon and toured several fascinating museums, mostly small ones. Some of our favorite times were enjoying simple pleasures like picking raspberries, watching a fledgling swallow being pushed off the top of a slide-out by one of its parents to learn how to fly (which it did), taking trolley rides through old historic towns and reading books in the evenings, which we rarely did before we began our trip.
Some of our good friends, like Chris and Dave, our ex neighbours from Banbury, might wonder what we do when we’re not out and about. Well, we do the same mundane things one normally does in any home such as maintenance, cleaning, cooking, banking, shopping etc., (not that I like shopping) but it would bore you to read about our daily doings. What we do spend time on is keeping touch with our family spending many hours on the phone, working at the computer, reading news on the internet and figuring out where to stay next and which route to take. Our lifestyle has changed completely from previous years. If you really want to know any more unimportant details or may have any questions, feel free to contact us.
