Fairhaven and New Bedford Harbor

  Our chores still include another load of laundry and getting the oil changed in the Buick.  It actually did quite well during the entire trip and didn’t guzzle too much gasoline.  Gas prices in Roanoke are cheaper than anywhere!&…

Provincetown, MA

  We arrived home in Roanoke late afternoon and I’m still sorting through the debris from our trip.  What had seemed like a logical packing plan eventually deteriorated into a daily hunt for clean underwear, vitamin pills, and breakfast…

Hello from Hilton Head

  Randal and I are in Hilton Head South Carolina, the first stop on our “road trip up north.”  Yes, South Carolina is still south of Roanoke, VA, but it is the first stop of our trip.  We’ve come here to visit our Chinese friend Si…

Hello from Roanoke

2729 Plantation Rd, NE
It’s September 16th and we’ve been home almost a month.  We’ve actually done quite a bit; I just haven’t taken many photos or taken time to write.  Randal and I each have new glasses (new sun glasses for me too)…

From Roanoke, Virginia USA

  We’ve been home for 9 days and in some ways it feels as if we never left from our last visit.  Time is funny.  I’m having to relearn being in the US.  I want to say gunaydin (good morning in Turkish) when I pass people on my d…
