Monthly Archives: June 2017 Who knew the world was so large? I sure didn’t. Up until a few months ago, all I knew was a placed called Phoenix. Now, I’ve seen canyons and mountains and forests and prairies and lakes and more animals than I ever knew existed. Now, I have a family. A new job. Now, I have a second chance at life.  Mama bear and her cubs not far off. Thirty feet away, tops. In my whole life, I’ve never seen a bear, and now, thanks to Yellowstone National Park, I’ve seen several. Thanks to Yellowstone, I’ve communed with the miracle of Nature, sometimes bizarrely bubbling in an otherworldly landscape, but always full of beautiful surprises.  I’ve been learning that America is truly beautiful. I’d collected evidence of this last winter, when I visited my first two American national parks. But I learned it, without a doubt, during our recent road trip north, when we stopped in a few very beautiful, very grand, national parks – so grand, in fact, that two of them earned the word grand in their very names! Can you guess which national parks I’m talking about?  This month’s travel stats are strong: almost 4,000km of driving, three different countries, five U.S. states, and four national parks! Life has definitely changed for us here at Wandering Footsteps! After four months of full-time bus conversion work, we’re back to doing what we love most – seeing the world! |
