After leaving Arches National Park, we headed to Spanish Fork, Utah to visit our two sisters and their families. We opted to camp out on the shores of Lake Utah in a lovely campground called Lakeside Campground. We hung out a day or two and decided to head to the Bonneville Salt Flats on our […]

What? Better than Chichen Itza? Better than Uxmal? Better than Tulum? I can hear the jostling of “Mayan Ruin Buffs” everywhere… sighing.

The train was a 4 berth sleeper train with sleeping pads reminiscent of my days in jail […]
