Beach lighthouse, PEI

P.E.I. Mussels, Green Gables, and Friendly Foxes

I love mussels. Mussels in White Wine, Diablo, Marinara, it doesn’t matter. Give me a bowl of mussels, some fresh bread, and a glass of wine and I’m good to go. Add some “Frites” (french fries for the uninformed) and

Relaxing at camp

Living the Viva Loca in an RV

So you think living in a motorhome, wandering the backroads sounds adventuresome. Dreams of places to visit dance in your head. You drive down the road and see that RV pass you by and you itch to get out there

Close up of Arethusa Falls

Not Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Looking up at Frankenstein Cliff towering 1000 feet above us thoughts of Mary Shelley came to mind. The scarred face of the granite wall, the block shape, all reminiscent of the monster’s forehead. I could see where it got its

Living the viking life style

Discovering America in Newfoundland

Let me start with a caveat. You can’t credit Columbus, or anyone else, with “discovering” America when he encountered millions of indigenous people already living here. (and then generously introduced them to all sorts of germs and diseases that just

There are two things you need to know about driving a motorhome towing a car, it can’t stop quickly and it can’t make a U or K-turn. This always creates some interesting (read that tense) moments in the cockpit when

A Jumper

Catch of the Day, Broad Bay, New Hampshire

Not a photo catch, well, yes that too. I mean a real catch, the elusive small mouth, the one that hubby is out there seeking every morning. This is his passion. This is why we are here in New Hampshire.

Reversing Falls

Fun at Fundy, in search of the 50 foot Tide

From the wilds of Maine we head the motorhome east, across the border into New Brunswick, Canada. We heard the surf was up in the Bay of Fundy. Talk about extreme tides, each day the Bay of Fundy sees billions of  tons of seawater flow

On Surviving Nor’easters in 300 Square Feet

Getting the Blues on Highway 61

Delta Blues that is.  Think Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and Wllie Dixon; juke joints and cotton gins.  US highway 61 meanders south along the Mississippi from Memphis, Tennessee toward Natchez, Mississippi. We had been to Memphis before, but the last time
