This place is apparently a “hard-nosed cattle town,” but it seemed like a trucker stop to us. It’s home to the largest canyon in the state of Texas, the Palo Duro Canyon, which is 2nd in size only to the Grand Canyon. We’re glad we stopped here, but we were happy to keep on going.
We spent two days here and really enjoyed exploring downtown and the Plaza. It was Adam’s first time to Santa Fe, and while Annie had been there prior to visit her brother James, she really hadn’t gotten a chance to do much exploring.
We visited all 5 of Utah’s Mighty Five National Parks. Originally, Utah wasn’t even on our itinerary, but after bumping into a friend by chance, we redirected our driving route to bring us through this beautiful state.
Feeling great and full of energy. Annie was worried that she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep, because she’s not a frequent tent sleeper, but she passed out.
We spent 5 days on a remote island off the east coast of Phuket in Phang Nga Bay. We experienced real the real Thai island living. Life is slow. There are few cars. The oceans are beautiful. And everyone is all smiles.
