Uh, don’t tell our mothers, and don’t try this at home…but we just developed an excellent system for “speed snorkeling”. You see five times as much stuff without all that scissor-kicking nonsense. We’re very serious about taking the “tired” out of retired. Believe it or not, your arms get kinda tired speed snorkeling so we …
Skirting along Montenegro’s coastline, we came across this little white church precariously perched atop a craggy island cliff. As we sailed past, it beguiled me and I made the captain circle around so I could see her closer. Captain’s don’t like changing course but he’s a good man and obliged. We decided to settle …
Our relaxing visit to Lake Skadar was the perfect way to say goodbye to Montenegro. Perfect because if there is anything Montenegro does best—besides epic mountains, crazy long tunnels, and jaw dropping scenery, it would be that they are the most chill country and people we’ve ever encountered.

Earlier in the summer, when we first came through Montenegro, we hired a driver to take us out to see a nearby lake that everyone told us must be seen. When we reached the lookout point, our Oregonian eyes deceived us. It didn’t really look all that must-see. From high upon a hill at a …

We discovered an amazing collection of really wonderful people and some awesome sister missionaries with some impressive language skills. The sisters were especially awesome because they saved …
Good to be back home. Especially when the marina gives a Valentino Rossi fan like myself the perfect spot to park. Our 3 month Schengen exile is up and we are happily provisioning for a 24 hour passage back to Greece. Being back in Porto Montenegro means hitting up Big Bite. It’s our Chick-fil-A …
📩Dear Croatia, I’m very afraid to get out of the car. Sincerely, Bedouin’s 1st Mate
Our oldest daughter and her husband gave us four reasons why we needed to make a stop and stay in Ston on our way home. ONE, because they’ve been producing salt for over 2,000 years …so we went there and bought some. TWO, because they produce the finest oysters …so we …
We stopped over in Ljubjana for the night and did a little exploring the next morning.
The Red Bull Circuit in Spielberg Austria is nestled in an unforgettable alpine valley which Mark says looks color-corrected. We’re not even sure photoshop could even generate the array of spectacular emeralds that seemed poured onto meadows in the surrounding hills.
