Jeff on a Brass Horse Outside a Museum Complex in Santa Fe

Picture 1 - Excitement: While driving out of museum complex in Santa Fe, Jeff saw a brass sculpture celebrating pioneers in New Mexico or something similar. Jeff had me stop the car and he ran like a little schoolgirl to hop on the horse - which was clearly worn from lots of people doing the same thing.

Picture 2 - Shame: While Jeff was posing for a picture, the passengers on an open-air tour bus started waving at Jeff and taking pictures. Then the bus driver got on his loudspeaker and chastised Jeff for disrespecting the statue. This picture shows Jeff climbing off the horse in shame.

Taos Pueblo

We visited the Taos Pueblo; the building behind us are several hundred years old - pre-contact of the Pueblan people with the Spanish. The buildings are not much to look at, but the history of pueblo people is interesting. The old church tower in the cemetary is all that is left of a church that the Spanish destroyed along with lots of Pueblo Indians that were inside.

Yes, that is a fanny pack that Jeff had with him.

Cool Flowers in Southern Colorado

While on the long drive from Boulder to Santa Fe, we (Jeff B, Jim B, and Kellee) saw cool flowers at a National Park Reststop in Southern CO.

Fun in Vegas?

No pictures available.

For some reason there was a "no picture policy" with my group of friends; this policy is best since I do not want to view any pictures of them in swimsuits at the lazy river.

CHIVA Party for Kellee

A Chiva is an old American school bus that is converted into a moving party with a bartender and a DJ. Kel always wanted a Chiva Party and I finally delivered with help from some of Kel's friends. This is authentic Panamanian culture.

Jen's birthday

Our exciting blog has been dormant for some time as we are leaving Panama soon and haven't been doing anything new and exciting. Well, last night we celebrated Jen's 28th (or so) and tried out the chef's table at a new restaurant. A good time was had by all - here is proof....

Mmmm, octopus.

Mmmm, can't beat fresh cooked pulpo. Freeze it, cook it for an hour, mix with smoked Spanish paprika and potatoes. Plus pulpo is cool looking during the prep phase - not cool while swimming in the Pacific.
