Category Archives: North America Mark my words, friends: I will be back to Louisiana one day. Maybe with a few girlfriends, or on a romantic adults’ only trip with Bruno. It will involve much late-night dancing in New Orleans, an alligator-filled swamp tour, and as much sampling of Cajun/Creole food (what’s the difference, anyway?) as a vegan can taste. Louisiana has been so confounding and confusing that my curiosity is officially peeked!  In all things travel – as in parenthood, I’m finding out – we have to expect the unexpected. Oftentimes, our expectations lead to disappointment; our plans have to change; and the pleasant surprises are found in the least-likely places. That’s what our recent time in the Smokies – and Alabama – reminded me.  Last month, while Phoenix was recovering from his broken leg (!!!), we took advantage of some down-time to do some baby-related bus renovations. Like building him a safe bed, for one… And several other things. Come check out our video!  We had planned to come to Asheville, North Carolina for some baby-related bus renovations. What we didn’t expect was to spend so much time at Asheville’s hospitals. Check out our newest vlog to find out what happened to Phoenix!!  Our plan to spend our summer in the Appalachians was purely practical, and our expectations were low. We’d come to these green mountains hoping for hikes, nature, and cool weather, and in the end received oh-so much more. |
