Beth Camp: On the Road. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Traveling down the coast of western Scotland,. To Lerwick, we passed. Rolling hills near the sea,. A working croft, smoke rising from its chimney,. Scattered stones from walls that. But that no longer. Separate land from land,. On a bluff in an old churchyard,. Testament to those long gone. Yet the blue sky above remains. As does the land. The history of these stones. Links to this post. Labels: Croft House Museum. Monday, September 29, 2014. Then back...

Beth Camp: On the Road. Friday, February 27, 2015. Nearly the last day in Galveston. Yesterday we took the ferry over to Bolivar Island. The free ferry from Galveston to Bolivar Island was a model of tiny efficiency as we crossed this busy port's lane of barges and tugboats, followed by black-headed seagulls sparring for bread tossed by seasoned travellers. We were going birding. Roseate Spoonbill, Bolivar Island (February 2015). Links to this post. Saturday, February 21, 2015. Yesterday, we walked our f...

Beth Camp: On the Road : Did you see the sunrise this morning?
http://bethcamp.blogspot.com/2015/01/did-you-see-sunrise-this-morning.html
Beth Camp: On the Road. Saturday, January 24, 2015. Did you see the sunrise this morning? We're 8 days away from leaving for that month-long trip to Galveston. Suitcases are open and empty. My packing list is ready to begin checking off, and I still haven't decided if I'm taking my sewing machine as a carry-on. Southwest says I can. Yippee! One suitcase = how many books? How many sewing projects? Did you see the sunrise this morning? I think that any travel adventure should begin with hope. A night of li...

Beth Camp: On the Road. Saturday, March 08, 2014. Some sense of Salisbury . . . England! We were at the end of our travels, scheduled for a month in England, and grateful for a rest in London. Five days at the British Museum, two days at the Library, before traveling to Salisbury for that obligatory stop at Stonehenge, a World Heritage site. In Salisbury proper, we visited St. Thomas Church. Primarily to see its "doom" painting (a painting of the Last Judgment dating from about 1475), which clearly shows...

http://bethcamp.blogspot.com/2015/02/monday-in-galveston.html
Beth Camp: On the Road. Monday, February 09, 2015. Monday in Galveston . . . Today we went to lunch at the Tortuga, a sprawling Mexican restaurant, right on Seawall Boulevard, just about a block from our tiny condo. A delicious avocado stuffed with shrimp, fish, broiled vegetables with three kinds of salsa met our appetite delightfully. Even at 1pm, we hit happy hour! A nice draft beer with lime for 99c topped the meal. The music in the background? Tortuga Restaurant from the Bay. Click to visit Amazon.

Beth Camp: On the Road. Tuesday, April 01, 2014. Mexico: Of Sacred Trees and Voladores. You may already be familiar with Mexico's beautiful "Tree of Life" pottery sculptures. Clay sculptures have been a long tradition in MesoAmerica. Before the Conquest, the tree of life (or 'world tree') held deep significance for MesoAmerica, even though after the Conquest, these pottery sculptures became a key way to teach Christianity. I remember reading how the elders cried when the conquistadores. Those who fly), t...

Beth Camp: On the Road. Thursday, May 29, 2014. Around Longwood Gardens . . . On a warm and not too humid sunny day, we set off for Longwood Gardens, about a 30 minute drive from Philadelphia. We spent the afternoon (and wished we had more time), first wandering through a few of the 20 outdoor gardens in this over 1,000 acre complex . . . Longwood Gardens (Camp 2014). Then to the Wisteria garden . . . Wisteria Garden, Longwood (Camp 2014). Pools of water at Longwood (Camp 2014). Links to this post. Willi...
