We have seen lots of amazing pictures of this canyon over the years but didn’t really know where it was exactly. A friend of ours mentioned it recently, so we looked into it further. We were going to be in the area and decided we must visit! The canyon is located east of Page, Arizona … Continue reading Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend
We visited El Quelite last year and decided to come back to do some further exploring. The Lady of Guadalupe church. Interesting decorations on the doors and railings. We had a lot of fun looking at the wares in this store. There were unique tequila stands with shot glasses, beautiful glassware, art and much more. … Continue reading Return Visit to El Quelite
We have had a busy few weeks in Mazatlan with a National Motocross Championship Race, Semana Santa (Easter holiday) and beach music festival in the RV Park. When Semana Santa arrived, so did the people. Lots of families spending time on the beach for the holiday with colourful umbrellas and happy children. A lot of … Continue reading Motocross, Semana Santa and Beach Music Festival

This years theme was “Patasalada: El Circo de los Talentos”, which translates to Salty foot: The Circus of Talent. It is referring to the many artistic talents of Mazatlan. Last year we watched the carnival parade from a hotel balcony. This year … Continue reading 2018 Carnival
We went to a baseball game a few days after arriving in Mazatlan. The Mazatlan Venados versus Hermosillo Naranjeros. Great game! Maddie’s first professional ball game! We saw another turtle nest hatch but this time there were about 50-75 babies! This little guy was going full tilt towards the ocean. I cannot find the words … Continue reading Mazatlan
A local band on the beach probably heading to a wedding. Our campsite by the beach. Perfect! We had an oyster feast on the beach with our friends one night. The oysters were cooked until they opened then topped with spinach cooked in garlic, a bread mixture and parmesan. Delicious! We went on a day … Continue reading 2017 Puerto Penasco
We had a great summer with our family and friends. This year we decided to spend more time on Vancouver Island and leave for our travels a little later.

It looks like I missed posting on Bryce Canyon from last April! As we were driving through Utah on our way back to Canada, we saw a lot of interesting landscapes and colourful rock formations. I am glad that we went to the Grand Canyon first, otherwise I may have been disappointed after seeing Bryce … Continue reading Bryce Canyon
One of our side trips as we headed north to Canada was Zion National Park. We stayed several days and hiked almost every trail. Unfortunately, the Virgin River was running to deep and fast for the river walk. For our first trail, we decided to hike Angels Landing. We traversed up twenty-one steep zigzags, then through a … Continue reading Zion National Park
The Gooseberry Mesa biking trails and scenery were amazing. We all had a great time exploring the area. A couple of the single track trails were too technical for Maddie and I, so we stuck with the more open slick rock trails. A little more wiggle room with less chance of wrestling with the cacti. … Continue reading Gooseberry Mesa, Utah
