A Tale of Two Cities (Part 2)

Posted on September 20, 2018September 20, 2018by Peter Kraiker

I broke this tale of two cities apart because I could tell it would be long. This 2nd half is long despite that… consider yourself forewarned. It’s also been delayed as we’ve enjoyed some amazing places that were off the grid. Some times that’s just the right thing to do. So here’s part two with […]

A Tale of Two Cities (Part 1)

Posted on September 13, 2018September 13, 2018by Peter Kraiker

Now that I have the new hat story out I can return to our trip and some of the delights we’ve enjoyed over the past week. Most of it has been spent in two cities: north Seattle and Saanich north of Victoria. We thought about it and realized that after almost two weeks of only […]

A New Hat

Posted on September 12, 2018September 12, 2018by Peter Kraiker

I mentioned something about a new hat in the previous post. Before I get into more tales about Seattle and arriving back in Canada I’ll tell this short tale. People who have seen me covering bike races or camping or working at a folk festival will know I’ve worn a sturdy Tilley hat for years. […]

Hello Seattle

Posted on September 9, 2018September 9, 2018by Peter Kraiker

We have put pins in our travel map for a number of reasons. Visiting people we don’t get to see nearly often enough is one of those reasons. So here we are saying “hello” from Seattle. This is the second time Andrea and I have come to this lovely city. Both times it’s been to […]

Starting Week Two

Posted on September 5, 2018September 5, 2018by Peter Kraiker

Week one is behind us; week two has begun. In the first week we covered one province and eight states (today finds us in the ninth — Idaho — where we’re having lunch in Calypsos Coffee and Creamery in Coeur d’Alene). I haven’t calculated the exact distance but estimate it’s around 2,500 miles since we […]

Well, It’s an Adventure

Posted on September 3, 2018September 3, 2018by Peter Kraiker

As we expected this trip has already turned into an adventure. Today is our 6th day on the road. Closing in on the end of week 1 of 10. It’s been tough to find time to write about the adventure as we’ve been living it. So this will likely be a terse tale. It’s almost […]

Dream Big, Then Go Home?

Posted on August 18, 2018August 19, 2018by Peter Kraiker

This dream has been in the works for about a year. It almost went off the rails and didn’t. It’s something we’ve never done before and hey… who knows how it will go! It’s happening though. Andrea and I are set to go on an extended road trip. Look out world! Well… look out U.S.A. […]

Preparations Have Officially Begun

Posted on July 14, 2018July 14, 2018by Peter Kraiker

Some friends already know that Andrea and I are planning an extended trip later this year. I’ve hinted about — perhaps even mentioned — this is a public forum or two as well. And asked some questions, looked about for ideas, put pins in a map, asked favours of friends to help get some things […]

Generous Randomness

Posted on July 10, 2018July 11, 2018by Peter Kraiker

It’s fitting that my last post was about music and how things go full circle. This entry is a variation on that theme. And it gets its title from the Mariposa theme ‘practice random acts of greenness’ which is a big deal for the festival. Origins of the Signs Greg Potts has been making Westfalia […]

A Postcard From Vance

Posted on March 30, 2018April 8, 2018by Peter Kraiker

A postcard that arrived in the mail last week has finally prompted me to get back into writing on my blog. Yes, that’s long overdue. I hope this will be a catalyst. Perhaps I’ll go back and write about other events I’ve not written about. Perhaps. Only time will tell. Here’s what this postcard from […]
