Maroon-Colored Glasses

Were my "fictional" trademark--now thanks to my c'ville children, I have an authentic pair od maroon colored sunglasses to wear all over the world in my never ending quest to make the whole world "maroon"

Sunset at the Bottom of the Earth

This is the same sunset the early explorers like Magellen and Sir Francis Drake would have seen when they rounded Cape Horn.

Mr. and Mrs. Marco Polo are Back!

For the past 25 days, we have been on the adventure of a lifetime!  We left Memphis in mid-January and flew to Santiago, Chile where we started a cruise to Antartica and ended our cruise in Buenos Aires.  We went around the Cape Horn across the Drake Passage and back up the coast of Argentina and Uraguay.  The main attraction to me was the three species penguins that only exist south of the Equator.  It was a fifth grade social studies teacher's dream come true to see all these places!  We saw glaciers, fiords, volcanoes, icebergs, and all sorts of penguins.  When the cruise ended, we hadn't had enough so --------we flew up to Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil to see the magnificent falls that are on the 1000 Places to See Before You Die List.
