At Gathland State Park in Maryland, this smaller stone arch is almost forgotten with the heavy significance of the War Correspondents Memorial arch just around the corner.

Arriving in Santiago, Chile, with a jet-lagged induced headache and a full morning’s wait for my hotel room, I saw the city via tour bus for an overview to allow me to ramble the streets later on my trip.

On only two hours sleep in 48 hours, I took a very thorough bus tour of Santiago, Chile, with a couple of stops for walking tours.

  • Perspective shift: it’s Kennedy Space Center, but not ... welcome to Legoland Miniland, full of little functional dioramas like these. Swipe to the end to watch the Space Shuttle launch!

  • A regular stop for us when in Lake Wales, Norby’s has some pretty sweet steaks, great prices, a loyal following, and a funky Old Florida vibe. Love authentic eateries like this.

  • Time for the annual Turkey Run at Daytona International Speedway, unabashedly the largest collection of classic cars in one spot in Florida once a year. It’s impossible to take it all in, so we do our best to show up and sample. Crazy crowds today, but kept meeting up with friends so it was a lot of fun.

  • When in Texas, look for Texas books! One of the joys of our travels is stumbling across small independent bookstores. In Kerrville, Wolfmuellers had both rare and used titles. We carted a whole case of books home with us from this store! And while we were there, Kinky Friedman walked in. Didn’t realize it until he left or we would have snagged a photo.
