Midwest Memories

One might think that John would have enough time with just me, his wonderful mother, since he is the only baby bird left in the nest!  But to my great astonishment he wanted to take a road trip to the Midwest with me! Okay in all truthfulness I had to bribe him with a few things... the hotels we stayed in had free wi-fi and breakfast, I would let him listen to his music in the car and I promised him that I would not stop at any country cemeteries while driving through small towns.  I do have a propensity to stop an meander though small cemeteries - I find them fascinating!  Pinky promise made..we got a plane in SLC and flew to St. Louis!  We drove up the Mississippi River to a small town called Nauvoo.      

Nauvoo is the area that I am looking at to buy some property and build a bed and breakfast. Someday I might make that dream happen, until then it is just a dream - but a wonderful dream it is!

 Here are some of my favorite photos...

Logan by Three

The last three summers that I have traveled back to the United States I have found myself in Logan, Utah. This city of about 48,000 of the nicest people is situated in one of the most stunning valleys in all of Utah.  I just love the area, it reminds me of a simpler time.

My favorite running store is located there and I make a rather large purchase every year.  Due to the fact that I live in Thailand I have to take 2 pairs of running shoes, 12 pairs of socks and of course some electrolyte tablets to see me through.  I have been running in Thailand for past two years, it is flat, hot and humid.


 I took advantage of a cool sunny day in Logan and ran on a canyon trail.  It reminded me of my running in Hong Kong, minus the snakes!

Running brings me peace and makes me glad to be alive!
