Don't know where we're going, but we're making great time.
As is our custom, we’ve sought out the movers and shakers in the local craft beer scene during our stay. Fortunately, Albuquerque has a vibrant and interesting range of breweries in the city and surrounding area. We haven’t gone thirsty. We recommend hitting the local tap rooms for a flight or to fill up a…
Our third rental in Albuquerque is within striking distance of the Petroglyph National Monument, so the plan was to get some desert hiking done and take in ancient graffiti during our stay. The problem? It’s been so freaking cold that we were afraid we’d wear ourselves out before we could make it to the closest…
Tammy and I seem to ask ourselves on a regular basis…”so what have we learned?” This usually is the result of us getting ourselves in some type of situation that we want to commit to memory so we don’t repeat it. Suffice it to say, it doesn’t always work. Our latest adventures started as we…

We made it back to the states! After a few flight delays and snafus, we’re now couch cozy in Albuquerque, New Mexico — our home for the next month. The snow was unexpected and the mountains show up in starker relief, but the real change has been the culture shift from South to North America….
