We decided to take a 2 month “vacation from our vacation” from July 20th-September 20th. It was perfect timing for a cousin’s wedding in Las Vegas and perfect for catching the PNW summer. So what do you do when you haven’t been home for a full year? Eat out at your favorite restaurants? Eat your favorite […]
Travels
Tierra Del Fuego: The Ends of the Roads
I know it’s been a while. We took a trip back home for two months and had the best intentions of catching up then, but we were pretty busy. Alex is working on a post about our trip home, and we should have it out soon. We are currently in La Paz, Bolivia. We are […]
Torres del Paine: Unlike Any Other
At this point in the journey we knew we were really into the wonders of Patagonia. There was no denying it that each day was filled with amazing views. When you’re surrounded by jagged snowy peaks, lush green forests, and empty windy roads, its hard not to be ecstatic about your road trip. We arrived […]
Argentina’s Great Parks
Again, this is embarrassing, but we are quite behind on our official travel posts. Last time we wrote it was the end of December, and we had just driven the Carretera Austral in Chile, and moving into Argentina. Our “Week in Food“ series, that some will remember, was done during this same time. We rushed a […]
KIDS ONLY: Creatures from Chile and Argentina
I promised my younger readers I would post about the animals we’ve seen and here it is! Thus far we have traveled over 14,000 MILES in Chile and Argentina!!! This is an astounding statistic for me. (I could come up with so many math problems about it) Such a massive distance, we have covered so […]
State of The Rambles: 10 Months In
It’s been a while since we last posted. The adventures have been continuing and the photos are piling up. I feel a bit guilty we haven’t shared in so long. I’ve used this time to post more photos on our Instagram account, but also I needed a break from sharing outwardly to process what’s happening […]
Practicing to be Patagonian Paleontologists
We had an amazing opportunity. With good friends from back home. This is the kind of opportunity people DREAM of. Imagine a private trip to a remote and very special paleontological site and getting an in depth explanations of the flora and fauna fossils exposed in the exposed prehistoric sediments. Following scientists around and getting first […]
The Carretera Austral
We crossed into Chile at Futeleufu and started our journey down the legendary Carretera Austral. The Carretera Austral, literally translated as “Southern Highway”, was built during the Pinochet Era to connect to the southern Chilean villages, mostly for military purposes. The Carretera stretches from Puerto Montt south, about 1300 km to Villa O’Higgins. The highway […]
FOR KIDS ONLY: Heading Further and Further and Further…SOUTH!
A humongous SHOUT-OUT and THANK YOU to all our KID commentators out there and their TEACHERS!!!! I was flabbergasted when I got an Internet connection today and saw a whopping 23 comments!!! EASILY the most we’ve gotten in one day! I can’t wait to answer all your questions and comments. I’m excited to answer them […]
Day 5 in The Rambling Larder’s Week in Food
This week, I’ve been getting the feeling that Alex is trying to show me up in the kitchen. When we started, we both decided that we would not try and make this food series anything special, just showing our normal routine food. Well she did it again, this time under the guise of our need […]
