Cruisin’ in the Delta

5 Comments

I’ve already posted about the day I spent in the Delta on a boat looking for bass — my response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge, Quest, is here, and there are plenty of other Quests to be found here. But it occurred to me that riding in a bass boat, capable of traveling upwards of 50 miles per hour over the water, is something that a lot of people probably haven’t done.  I thought it might be fun to try and share the experience, or at least some of it. I don’t have a GoPro camera, just my phone.  And trust me, I was hanging onto it for dear life!  I hope you enjoy the video.

Mexico Monday, Week 3

Leave a Comment

I was very lucky to travel, multiple times, with my parents to Mexico at a young age, to see parts of the country that tourists rarely see, and to meet a good number of truly wonderful people. Even though most of my memories are now pretty vague, I still have some very strong impressions of those amazing experiences. My parents met the evangelist, […]
