Tuesday here in Big Bend country, and we expect to do some hiking today and tomorrow, like maybe the Emory Peak trail and/or the Lost Mines trail.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you get some good reading in today!
The idea is to do drive on down to Terlingua, just outside Big Bend National Park. We might do some hiking or head into the park.
I hope that you and I both get to do some reading today. 🙂

Today we should be headed from Eola out to the area just north of Big Bend! The scenery will change significantly on the way, which is always fun. In years past we’ve woken up to sunrises like this:
The light is so different… it’s like it’s fuzzy and sharp at the same time. I don’t know how to tell you.
Tonight we might go ahead and stay at a little hot springs in the middle of nowhere. Who knows?

Hello from Maybe-Land folks! The idea today is to leave our friends’ hospitality in Austin behind, and head out to Eola, Texas to visit the Eola School Restaurant, Brewery and Lodge. It comes highly recommended by my father (a fellow beer enthusiast), and that’s where we hope to be tonight.

Today I finished Messenger of Truth! And I found it my most enjoyable Maisie Dobbs book to date. I will not spend time trying to tell you about it now, though, because 1. I’m getting ready for the vacay and 2. I read it out of order, accidentally, and will save my review-like post for the appropriate time in the Maisie Dobbs Read-Along timeline. I then read the first few pages (so, about half) of Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in my free time. And now…
Tonight we depart for our odyssey into West Texas! Love, love, love. I’m so excited about hiking, visiting, and mountain biking! and being away from it all in a beautiful place with the Husband. Ahhh.
I’ve scheduled a series of itinerary-style posts to come up automatically while I’m gone. So you should be able to travel my theoretical vacation with me day-by-day. It’ll be interesting to see, on the other side, how closely we stuck to the plan… but at any rate you’ll have some pictures to look at and a few words every day. 🙂
Adios!
