This past month-long travel bout began with my trip to BlogHer in San José and ended with a 10 day solo drive (actually my 2-year-old Neapolitan Mastiff accompanied me on the drive) that differed significantly from my other travels during the past 10 years: when I traveled by myself, unlike this trip where I was in the company of […]
