Over 1000 views!

 We are so excited that we have over 1000 views of our blog!  Thank you to all who are following us because I am not sure I could stay disciplined if no one was interested!  We certainly would welcome your comments or questions.  18% of our views have been from Russia and a smaller percentage from other foreign countries, but mostly all of you friends and family from the good ole USA!  We have learned so much about ourselves, our country and all there is to learn about history, nature and people.  I hope this inspires some of you to take a trip you may not have previously considered and share in this travel bug we are enjoying!  It is possible to do this economically!  Of course not everyone would want to travel like we do, but we wouldn't do it any other way.  We have met so many fantastic people and seen so much taking the back roads, staying with local folks and seeing the local sights. And all the funny things that happen make the best stories.  I don't think the funny stories happen in 5 star hotels or rushing down the interstate.  Oh, and of course I can't tell you how much wonderful food we have had.  Trip Advisor is the greatest way to find the hole in the walls, the places the locals love, and great experiences!  Thank you faithful followers!
