In Cadiz and Jerez we were fortunate to see the dancing Andalusian Horses perform and to get a personal tour of the Valdespino Bodega specializing in Spain’s world renowned Pedro Ximenez Sherry.

Posts From The Road: Year In Review 2023 Part 2

by

Chloride, NM: We explored areas in southwestern New Mexico in January and February of 2023. We visited several locations that were new to us and returned to some favorite locations from past trips.

Chloride was a boom town of 2,000-3,000 residents for a few years until the mines declined and the miners moved on to other sites. Chloride is home to about two dozen residents today who work together to maintain Read More
