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 […]
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 […]
Missing Me Yet?
Before we left for our trip I had a hard time accepting that we were going to be so far away from family and friends AND for such a long time! This is compounded even more so because we’re both pretty family oriented people. We enjoy spending time with our families and chatting about the […]
Day 6 in The Rambling Larder’s Week in Food
Today was a continuation of trying to diagnose Lola’s issues. So we didn’t really venture too far from the van…all the attention is on Lola right now! Translation: I got a chance to hole up with the mystery novel I’ve started and Todd went around to different parts shops and called our trusted Sprinter […]
Day 4 of The Rambling Larder’s Week in Food
We woke up this morning and it was cold. I could see the snow on nearby peaks. This means I waited an extra 15 minutes to get out of bed, which is hard for me! During those 15 minutes I kept thinking about My first goal: Make Coffee!!! Breakfast: Once I got up, after coffee, I […]
Day 2 of The Rambling Larder’s Week in Food
Today is an unusual day, it is a layover day. We have only had a handful of these since we started our travels. A layover day means that we do not move Lola (we camp in the same location) and we may try to catch up on housekeeping, or just relax from driving every day. […]
OK. We’re starting to feel the cold.
It’s windy. It’s peaky. It’s confounding…in a life changing way. The weather has started to change. No more dry and hot air and afternoon iced teas. Now we’re bundled up and we have our wind breakers on if we decide to be outside for more than 10 minutes. And we’ve taken to drinking mate. And […]
For Kids ONLY: Roadtrips…What’s the Big Idea ANYWAY?
“A road trip again?!?!! Mom, I don’t want to sit in a car for a million hours ever again!!!” Have you ever had this feeling when your parent announced what your next family vacation was going to be? Trips don’t sound good right off the bat, but you have to give them a chance. Maybe […]
Thankful for this Adventure & Food
You’re probably waking up thinking of all the cooking and preparation ahead of you today. So are we! I have been thinking about Thanksgiving for the last couple of weeks. It’s especially hard to remember that it’s fall in the US because it is a beautiful spring in Argentina right now! I think I’m hanging […]
