We are a close and loving family of vegetarian, humanist animals. We travel a great deal. We've spent nine months in Europe (mostly on the French Riviera), vacationed in fourteen U.S. states including Hawai'i, and traveled for two weeks on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Our interests include exploring all aspects of health, reading, writing, parenting, thinking, traveling, researching, and playing. Monthly diaries, personal insights, humor, and philosophies can be found at our Wowsite |
If you want to learn about some of the fascinating places we've visited, check out our vacation diaries. These are (or at least we try to make them) entertaining, informative, personal accounts of trips to, opinions of, observations about, and activities in some of the world's most remarkable locales. If you are considering a vacation to one of these destinations, we think it would be a valuable joyride to read our diary of that site. |
