Fuerteventura X: Tuineje


Apparently there are real geckos running around, but I only saw these.



It's a dog's life.












People use these pretty tiles to mark their addresses.









There are goats everywhere on the island represented by these goat stickers (these are on a car).

Hangin' With the Boys


We visited a fellow blogger and his partner in Concord and had a lovely time with them in between making trips into San Francisco. These are all shots from around their place which is lovely!





















S's restored Thunderbird that we rode in to go out for breakfast!

Against All Odds


You have to wonder how some plants make it! Here is an example of some of the plant life I saw in Sedona.






Seen at the Chapel.

On the way to Santa Fe


Driving back to Santa Fe from Taos, we saw many interesting things. See the little crosses here?



The first USGS gaging station.

Mother Nature


Cactus fruit



This is the hail from the storm we drove through in mid New Mexico. It was hailing so hard we had to pull over to the side of the road and wait it out. Mother Nature can be quite scary at times!



Looking back at the storm.

Visiting the relatives: past tense


We visited the Glen Cove cemetery to see the graves of Janet's relatives. This cemetery is nice and small with a great view!



Janet's great grandparents.



Child's grave.






We found the old homestead her grandmother and great grandparents used to live on called "peanut ridge." The house used to lie between the tree and water tank and got blown down in "the big storm of '82" according to a man who was kind enough to tell us all about the place.



This was actually her great grandfather's old truck bed seen on the property!
