Tromsø, Norway 🇳🇴
Feeling pretty stiff after yesterday’s snowmobile misadventure, so considered taking a pass on our snowshoe trek this morning. But Ken is all about outdoor exercise (and making *me* do outdoor exercise), so he dragged my unmotivated ass out of bed. I’m so glad he did. Snowshoeing is super fun, but man, it’s an ass-kicker of…

Lyngsfjord, Norway 🇳🇴
Arctic Adventure Day! Drove 75km south of Tromsø to the Lyngsfjord Wilderness Camp. Took a guided snowmobile trip. Our Finnish guide: “If you drank a bottle of vodka for breakfast, you cannot do this activity.” Apparently, this is an issue they have to deal with frequently. Did not fall on the ice today, but can…

First: I am not sweating. It’s glorious. However, the brochure did not lie about Scotland weather. It’s cool/cold, gray, and rains every 90…

Delphi, Greece 🇬🇷
It’s a ridiculous floppy hat day! Will probably retire rfh at the end of our trip. It’s been a good soldier, but I’ve mashed it into my bag so many times, it won’t hold a shape anymore. Confirmed there are no straight roads in Greece. Almost died in a Greek taxi today. To set the…
