Living Lands And Waters Barge – 8/29/2024

Danelle went to a Mississippi River Water Trail Association meeting on the educational barge belonging to Living Lands and Waters. These two groups are true powerhouses in education and stewardship of the Mississippi River! The barge was parked just downstream of the Mel Price Lock and Dam in Alton. One highlight of the event was … Continue reading “Living Lands And Waters Barge – 8/29/2024”

Journey to Argentina, Day 20 – 1/11/2025

It’s super early in the morning and I’m sleeping on and off. I took a few random walks with Corvin and Danelle getting steps in. I slept in my chair. Then things got weirder. First, the Lima airport has no water fountains. If you want water, get out your wallet. Second, they started setting up … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 20 – 1/11/2025”

Journey to Argentina, Day 19 – 1/10/2025

Our final day in Argentina! We got slow start since the kids stayed up late last night. Danelle and I took an early morning walk. (There might be a pattern developing here!)

Journey to Argentina, Day 18 – 1/9/2025

Another morning walk with Danelle. Nothing super duper exciting to report. We wandered by the local medical school. Oh, and one strange thing. We purchased some candy at a large grocery store. When we went to check out, the lady said something in rapid fire Spanish, then took two pieces of candy away. Danelle thought … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 18 – 1/9/2025”

Journey to Argentina, Day 16 – 1/7/2025

Danelle and I went out for an “early” morning walk to pick up breakfast. We came back with bread, jelly, butter, and the worst donuts I’ve ever experienced. After our walk, we went back to relax with the kids for a bit until setting off around 11 for today’s activity. The first stop was lunch … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 16 – 1/7/2025”

Journey to Argentina, Day 15 – 1/6/2025

This morning we walked to the city’s Japanese Garden. Bordered in the city by tall buildings, and short of space, the garden made the most of the space available. The plants were lovely in summer mode and the water features fun. There was lots of stopping for photos. Danelle even viewed some read headed bird … Continue reading “Journey to Argentina, Day 15 – 1/6/2025”
