The trail along the Cliffs of Moher was windy and wet and we were a bit chilly. However, this enterprising person had converted a two-horse trailed into a tiny coffee shop. It was wonderful. We had water with us but a cup of hot coco and a cup of tea with a bit of milk
We tried a variety of food and drinks in Galway. Very little of what we had was typical Irish fair. Breakfast was at the hotel and then Keltin and I made a deal: he get to pick lunch and I got to choose dinner. Keltin likes to try Mexican food in different countries, so we

Ireland is not necessarily known for its cuisine. However, that does not mean that we ate badly on this trip at all. While we did have quite a few toasties for lunch, here are some of our dinners. I did make it a point to try things that were different or unique to the area
After hiking the north rim at Black Canyon of the Gunnison, we headed farther north towards Aspen but on the way there we stopped at a place I had come across by accident: Big B’s Fruit Company in Hotchkiss, CO. I was looking for potential camp grounds near Aspen and found Big B’s. I swear
I love a good cup of coffee on a cool morning while camping or a warm cup of herbal tea in the evenings around the campfire. Most of the time we heat up our percolator over the fire but if you have been camping you know that it can take a while to get the
