Iberia 2024

April 2024 Iberia awaits! We are finally off on our first extended journey for 2024, through Andalusia, Portugal, and Northern Spain. Mi Español es malo (my Spanish is bad), but we won’t let that slow us down!

New Zealand Wine

January 27, 2023: We found The World’s Fastest Indian not in a museum. Rather, the legendary motorcycle was in the most unlikely of places… at E. Hayes and Sons Hardware in Invercargill, far and away on the southern tip of New Zealand.
