La Paz

Sandra and friend scouting the shoreline

Kids on trikes, where's the people?

Yesterday we spent the day in La Paz, a lazy walk the malecon (boardwalk) kind of day and enjoy the weather which has been close to 30C once you get away from the water. Like other places there are very few people on the streets and that made it easy for us to spot Michel and Danielle, two French tourists who we first met on the beach at El Requeson. They were waiting to catch the ferry back to the mainland, and then a train up the Copper Canyon, a popular mainland tourist destination. They refused to go to Cabo San Lucas because of it’s artificial nature, an area leveraging Mexican weather but American influence and architecture. Interesting  protest.

The Malecon has many statues on it and is a wonderful place for people to walk. Later we’d go out for lunch at a local restaurant, then back to the RV camp where I was put to work helping them lay out some new RV pull thru spots for an upcoming caravan. Maranatha is definitely a story in itself.

The 3 Trip Experience, Learning and Retention

   For the many years we have planned and traveled by motorcycle and exchanged ideas with fellow motorcycle travelers there has always been two camps. Those who want everything to be an 'in the moment' adventure and those who take steps to plan the adventure to potentially maximize the opportunities the trip will yield. We have almost always fallen into the latter category partly because in sailing you had a number of considerations like prevailing winds, and natural hazards and currents and tides to contend with. Yesterday Sandra came across a quote in a book  " Between Two Kingdoms"  by Suleika Jaouad that I captured. We feel it expresses very well what we are able to get from travel. It resonates with me for another reason as well. As an adult educator in a business environment we used a process called  Accelerated Learning.  Essentially it recognizes that people learn and retain information through four types  of  learning styles:  Visual...

Entry to Canada using ARRIVECAN

  Entry to Canada using ArriveCan Updated Jan 19. (Minor comment Feb 16th) Information in this blog post is still current until Feb 28, 2022 at which time it will be edited with the most current information)  This is for all Canadians travelling back to Canada or US citizens considering coming to Canada. I thought we’d pass on what we learned in returning to Canada from our short driving visit to our place at ISRVR. First, we used “ Curative ”, a healthcare provider who provides PCR testing. You need to be careful as to the type of test accepted by Canada. A PCR/Naat or PCR test qualify. "Rapid Antigen" tests do not . Our tests and many others were back to us in 12-17 hrs. Some pharmacies also offer tests. Caution when using pharmacies as we are hearing more and more can not meet the 72 hr. testing window and some do not offer PCR tests. Just make sure you get a PCR test. It will take 1-2 days. Curative only offers PCR tests , follow...

Two Wheel Simplicity and the KVR

  2 Wheel Simplicity and the KVR The Kettle River Bridge at the Prov. park Warm weather forecasts and the Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) have always been motivating factors in choosing our cycling destinations. Last winter we didn't get the riding in that we wanted while down south so we were wanting to get at it with a choice of options this spring. We've always used cycling as part of our conditioning program for motorcycle trips of extended durations and since we are planning to send our motorcycle back over to Europe for some extended trips this will both allow us to get back in shape and enjoy a change of scenery and weather. Now there are some E-bikes around the smaller trail head lengths. We get a sense from what we've seen that many of the people are expecting smooth  packed trails and aren't up for the actual riding of less than perfect trail conditions and less than 'in shape' riders. Our advice would be to be honest with yourself, know what your fitness ...
