Bolivia Bound

Only a few weeks and we are headed back to South America. This time to explore Bolivia. Armed with a list of new treks, some Spanish lessons and a new pack, we are counting down the days until we depart.


Mardi Gras, Craw Fish and the Bayou

We don't always feature our shorter trips on this blog but this past February we flew down to surprise a great friend, Ryan in New Orleans. It was fun to check out such a neat city, chow down on some Southern Cuisine and escape the Canadian Winter for a few days. 
We can confirm that:
- People are crazy for Mardi Gras beads
- Food in the south is always super sized
- The dark shadow that Hurricane Katrina cast on the town remains ever present
- We are lucky to have Ryan and now his, fiancee, Tara, in our lives





Vermont - Growler Style
