We spent two weeks in Copenhagen and Sweden. We had an awesome time. Lots of things to see and do, great food, super friendly people. Copenhagen We were in Copenhagen 2 ½ days. I could easily have spent another day – or even two! I loved the energy. We toured the main tourist sites. We […]
I spent a week in Mexico City in May 2024. I was fascinated to learn that Mexico City was originally built on a group of islands in Texcoco Lake that the Spanish drained to have more land and to control flooding. The Aztecs came from the north (apparently their language is similar to Cherokee). The […]

We flew into Boise, then took a small plane to Stanley, Idaho where we spent the night. Because the water was low, we took another small plane ride the next morning […]
