A church with a view
Manny and I both have our duties. He is the driver, dumper, videographer and webmaster. I am the cook, travel coordinator, photographer and writer. Surprisingly, the job of travel coordinator is the most difficult for me to pull off successfully. It isn’t easy to go into a new city and know where to go, what … Continue reading
A Place is Truly about People
The only way to see Toronto is from the water. Preferably with the Rüggeberg family, if you are lucky. Manuel seems to have a penchant for picking wonderful women as his girlfriends. Every one of them (and I’ve met 3 over the years) has been like a soul sister. Manuel’s first girlfriend, Karin Rüggeberg, was … Continue reading

The Chicago Blues
A trip to Chicago wouldn’t be complete for us without going to a real Blues Club. When I was searching for campgrounds that were still opened at this time of year, I called the Illinois Beach State Park and spoke to Peter. Lucky for us, as Peter turned out to be a musician who knew … Continue reading
