This afternoon we enjoyed tea and scones within view of Griffin's Wharf, the location of the Boston Tea Party back in 1773. One of the teas offered at Abigail's Tea Room is Singlo, a green tea that was the variety that was cold steeped in Boston Harbor that night. It...
Enroute from Middleborough to Dorchester we availed ourselves of the opportunity to visit an old favorite. There was a Friendly's Ice Cream in DeLand when we lived there years ago. We enjoyed many a meal there when the kids were grade school aged. Today we feasted on...
We got home to the KOA in Middleboro last night to discover a population explosion had occurred in our absence. It looks like all sites are occupied. There's a tent city that blossomed just behind our trailer. It's an end of summer celebration! Everyone wants to...
We spent as much time as possible traveling east on US-20 enjoying the scenery and snagging a couple of caches this morning. We finally got to the point though that navigating the back roads with a GPS program that cannot be set to avoid the interstate got too...
Spent last night at a new campground in Pittsfield SF. Nice roomy level site in the woods! Excellent comfort station. No electricity. Mosquitoes. Thunderstorm. The big frustration was the lack of signage that led up a very narrow mountain road going the wrong way with...
Yes, we'll admit it, it was the prospect of a geocache find that lured us to Oliver Mill Park but it was the beauty and the history of the place that kept us hiking around the area. It's a place where river herring return to spawn annually, an archeological site, the...
After yesterday's day in camp, we were ready to get out and about today. Mid-morning we began making our way east on US-44 toward Plymouth. First stop was at a Dunkin' Donuts for coffee and Boston Kreme donuts. Then we went in search of geocaches. Along the way we...
An absolutely glorious end of summer day. We made our way to Harvard Square for two festivities. First was the Urban Agricultural Fair which included some roasted corn on the cob and local brew. In between we visited Greg's workplace and checked out a couple of local...
We ventured out to the Museum of Fine Arts today. Oh, there is so much to see. We sampled but a small amount of the offerings but relished beauty from Ancient Egypt to Dale Chihuly. We were dazzled by the special exhibit on jewelry and awed by Early American art such...
Still didn’t make the trip to the National Archives at Waltham, Mass. Still working out details of how to transport ourselves there. Instead we achieved a different goal for this trip. We went to the Apple Store on Boylston an purchased a Magic Track Pad to use with...

Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Singapore is an city-state located on an island at the tip of the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia that during its sixty years of independence has carefully and thoughtfully created an ultra modern city that honors its past as it looks to the future. One aspect has been promoting a Garden City to in part to improve livability, public health. Our first visit to this spectacular city concentrated on the incredible gardens here.
Knowing very little of the deep history of Vietnam, we chose to spend our one day in the country immersing ourselves in their 18th Century imperial history including a sumptuous nine-course lunch in the ancestral home of a princess.
