I didn’t know much (nothing, to be honest) about Tours before the Flix bus dropped me off there. I figured that since I hadn’t heard much about it there wasn’t much to do. It would be the perfect place to burn the days watching youtube videos on cabin building. Well, two problems with that. When I reserved the apartment from…
C’est La Vie
I wrote this in the back of a bus rolling down the highway, I’ll proofread when I am not bouncing all around…. t’s been a while since I was standing in the dark on a rainy morning waiting for my bus to Tours. I didn’t really have any reason to go there other than all the other places I could…
Flyin’ Down The Highway
Before I get started. Just a word of warning on this post. I am having all kinds of technical issues with getting blogs created and posted. I finally had time the past few days to write something up but my only internet is at the team stop near the apartment. There may be some typos. The first couple of weeks…
Ridin’ In The Bus
Sir Isaac Newton promised that a body at rest remains at rest. Me on the sofa is a good example. But being that the sofa is thousands of miles from home, part 2 of the law where a body in motion remains in motion is important too. Well, its a good thing Sir Newton never rode with me. The law…
Making A List
I am not a very good tourist. Mostly I just walk around and look at stuff that doesn’t cost anything to look at. It is really good exercise so the McDonald’s visits haven’t taken too much of a toll yet. I have been in Georgia for a month now and its time to pull up stakes and walk around somewhere…
Rainy Night In Georgia
Except for a couple of rainy hours in Cyprus, I couldn’t ask for better weather. Cool nights and warm sunny days. Its a good thing because Tbilisi is a good walking around town. It has been great setting out in the morning and returning in the evening with 15 to 20 more miles on my poor shoes in between and…
Georgia On My Mind
Last year was pretty easy when it came to finding out how to spend my winter. I just set the AirBnB app to filter on cheap houses all to myself and boom, plenty showed up. This year it was slim pickings. I have been storing up my credit card earned frequent flyer miles over the years because of covid and…
The Cowboy Rides Away
The main reason I drove all the way to Texas was for a wedding. A friend of mine from Seattle moved down there last year. Most people just move out of Seattle because it kind of sucks right now and isn’t worth the hassle. He had the added motive of meeting a woman from Texas and deciding to marry her. …
Good As I Once Was
I usually stay on the property as far into the fall as I can. Mostly because I dont have anywhere else I need to be. This year I did, a wedding in Dallas,Tx. Google says it’s a 5 day drive if I don’t push it, i had 21 days so i could have made it riding the brakes. The weather…
Somebody’s Watching Me
As the end of the season was rapidly approaching. I had to make a run to the big box home improvement store to get some items for closing up the camp. For me, one of the highlights of these trips is to settle in on the patio furniture on display. I find it to be a good way to get…
