Wow! Guess you thought we'd given up the gypsy life and headed to Equador or somewhere! Well, nothing of the sort. In fact, other than a new "Smarty" (this one wants to be called "Smartyn"...pretty snooty little attitude for a Smart Car!), and another 20,000 or so miles, not much has changed since our last post. The truth is, we've just been too busy
living the LIFE and not enough time to
write about it. This will act as a crude attempt, at least, to catch things up. Some of the locales we've added to our
been there, done that list are the upper California Coast and The Oregon Coast and Portland, more places in Central Florida, and The Big Bend of Texas. In fact, after we did that part of Texas, we came over to the cool little town of New Braunfels, at the most Eastern edge of The Hill Country, between Austin and San Antonio, and found the base we've been after for almost six years on the road. We're now full time motor homers (
with an apartment). Now we can come back and spend a little time running to doctors, getting hair cuts (from someone familiar! Mary Ann can write an entire separate blog about
HAIRCUTS ON THE ROAD!!), and just taking a little breather from the rolling lifestyle.

To catch up to the right now, we're spending the summer of 2016 in our western home away from home, Santa Fe. Good food, cooler weather (although, so far, it's been windy and warmer than normal), lots of hiking choices, and a chance to stay out of the way of the
we've got two weeks to see four states crowd! Here are few more pics from the last couple years...

great update, you are living life with Gusto, for sure. We are awaiting your return to The Villages, whenever that may be.
Totally understand the "too busy to write about it" part. Good to get a glimpse now and then however.
Hey ED! Thanks for the chime in here. We'd love to see you two in person. Stay in touch, and if we are in the vicinity, we'll look for a meet point.
We know you guys get it!! Keep on Kayakin'
Probably sooner than later!
love seeing what you are up to and meeting my new cousin, Smartyn.
Glad you're liking it!
