photos from Montana (heavy on Glacier NP)

Our hosts, Archie and Sue, provided a varied menu for us most nights (filet mignon, chicken fried steak, bbq ribs)... ok maybe not that varied. :) But a few times, we headed into town to try our luck at some of the local restaurants. As you know, we always research a...
happy tales for Riesling
Our one year anniversary of Riesling's rescue was on August 12, while we were on vacation. A whole year. She's such a huge part of our life now and at the moment is curled up next to me seeking protection from the faint thunder in the distance. Eric and I had...

Logan Pass
We visited Glacier National Park today... about 10 waterfalls and beautiful hiking. Above is a shot of Clements Mountain (from my cell phone) and the boardwalk hike from the visitor's center at Logan Pass.

Eric and Leandra in Orient Point, NY :)
Hello! This website chronicles the travel adventures of a computational biologist and a WordPress website developer (with past entries of our 😇 rescued mini schnauzers, Riesling and Pasha).
We’ve steadily increased our travel over the last several years and that is the focus of our blog currently, but you can read older ‘daily life‘ and ‘canine‘ posts by clicking on those links.
