Day 81
We’re just a mess!
July 24, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F
We headed back east to check out Sisters, Redmond and Bend. Sisters is a super cool little town and is very touristy. Headed to Redmond which is a lot bigger and has a nice downtown area.

We stared to head east to check out a reservoir but decided to start heading south as we know we like that part of Oregon.

We drove through Bend because we have already been there . It was crazy how much Bend had grown since we were there five years ago. Super great area with tons of outdoor activities to do.

Oregon is on our short list of places we like. Unfortunately the cost of living sucks, though it is not as bad as California.

We ended up just driving all the way down to Reno to see Susan and Christian.

We have thought about heading south to check out northern Arizona in the mountains near Prescott. We are also thinking about heading back to Colorado to check out Durango in the south west part of the state.

We have a house sit back here in Reno on August 18th so would need to get back here.

We are thinking of renting a place in Reno for a while to try a figure out what comes next. We have also thought of starting our international travels after the start of 2023 and not worrying about where we will try and settle down in the US.

Kimberly and I are sitting in Sassy now trying to see if we will hang out here until our house sit for three weeks or head south towards Arizona.

We will keep you all posted.Read more
Traveler Know how happy you all were to see each other after almost three months! ❤️❤️❤️

Traveler Actually, renting a place for awhile and starting your international travels sounds like a pretty sound idea to me. Take a break from the stress of trying to figure out where to settle. No need to settle anywhere yet. Just enjoy life!

Day 29
Kayaking
July 14, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Today we woke up early because we went Kayaking. It was my second time, I did it in Princeville Ranch in Kauai. It was really cold it the morning, I had goosebumps!! The Kayaks were 2 person kayaks, me and Daddy got on one and Conor and Mammy went on another, and our instructor Sean went on a one person Kayak. Lake Tahoe is Americas 2nd deepest lake and the worlds 10th deepest lake! Apparently, the deepest the lake can go is 500m down! When we got on our kayaks and kayaked app.1.5 miles, we saw a big house. This house is called Thunderbird Lodge and a billionaire George Whittle bought a LOT of land (2000acres I think) in the early 1900. Whittle was planning to make a summer-hotel with a skiing place, casinos and stuff like that, but for he's love of animals he is recluse, and bought a elephant. Whittle died in 1969, and his family sold the building to the state and you are now allowed to have weddings there. Sean said that some people think that Whittle still haunts the building....🐘👻👻👻💀☠️ We got to see Whittles HUGE house and his elephants BIG stable. After we passed the house, we had a stop at Chimney beach, where the water was freezing cold!! I ate an energy bar and we switched partners, and I was with Mammy. There were boats, so we got big waves and I was scared that we would tip over. We finally reached the destination and we kayaked 10k!!
That was fun and next time I hope I dont tip over.Read more

"The biggest little city in the world"
March 15, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
...keine andere Stadt als "Reno",Nevada, wird so genannt und da ich momentan der Sonne etwas nachfahre war es die erste Wahl. 😁 Achtung! Wer bei meiner ersten Reise schon dabei war? Reno kam auch in "Sister Act" vor. 🙃 Leider gibt es die "Moonlight Lounge" seit 1997 nicht mehr. 😕 Schade...hätte dort gerne den einarmigen Banditen bedient wie eine der "Schwestern" 😅 man merkt das die Stadt bereits in die Jahre gekommen ist und vielleicht deswegen einen kleinen Charme besitzt. Die Casinos, wie auch in Las Vegas voll von oben bis unten mit Automaten die niemals abgestellt werden.

Für den Abend hab ich mir eine Zaubershow raus gesucht...warum sich nicht mal wieder verzaubern lassen. 😊 Angekommen in einem alten Einkaufszentrum stand dort klein aber voller stolz ein frisch renoviertes Theater. Ich war echt erstaunt wie toll es von innen aussah. Klein aber fein und eines vorweg die 2 Stunden waren mehr als sehr gut investiert! 😃 Es gab Tänzerinnen die gefühlte 50 verschiedene Outfits für den Abend hatten und sich alle 3min umgezogen haben 😳 Respekt an diese Stelle und die Show an sich. Ich dachte echt ich wäre mit allen Zauberwassern gewaschen aber sooft wie ich überrascht drein geguckt habe mit einem riesen Fragezeichen im Gesicht,weiß ich gar nicht mehr...es ging alles immer mega schnell und selbst die kleinsten alten Taschentricks fanden ein neues Gewand. Mit Witz und Tricks ging es echt lustig durch den Abend. 😊
Und die Geschichte dahinter veranlasste mich heute Morgen noch einmal dorthin zu fahren um ein Foto des Theaters zu machen.
Die zwei Magier waren überall auf der Welt unterwegs....seit über 20Jahren...zuletzt auf Kreuzfahrten bis... Covid kam und sie so endeten,dass sie zurück nach Reno,ihrer Heimat gingen um Essenszusteller zu werden. Da kam es,dass sie auch Essen von einem Restaurant in diesem Einkaufszentrum holten und dort ein altes baufälliges Theater,ehemals Kino, adaptierten und dann wieder eigenhändig renovierten. Chapeau an die Beiden...wer nach Reno geht,sollte sich auf alle Fälle auch diese Show ansehen.Read more

Day 177
Nevada
November 21, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌫 14 °C
Lake Tahoe is split down the middle between California and Nevada so we nipped over there quite a few times on our excursions! There are some fascinating old mining towns there which has kept almost all of their original features - shops, mines, bars, ghosts.. felt some of the people were right out of the 1850s too! Virginia City in particular is a really historic town - this feels like the closest we've got to 'Americana' since we've been here.
It's quite striking how different Nevada is as soon as you step over the border - the scenery changes, the weather gets hotter, the casinos rise up (and you can gamble pretty much anywhere including whilst waiting at your airport gate!), gun culture is much more in your face and political affiliations are made abundantly clear!Read more

I take a quick look at Reno, but my main reason to go there was the car museum. Lots of cars! I included pictures of some German cars
