EP Shadows Tour Wrapped Up – Key West suprise
As Gustaff and I parted ways on April 23rd in Florence, Colorado I couldn’t help but feel grateful for this unique experience in my life.

I left Key West early February not sure what… Read more →

Salt Lake City, Utah – Reunion with friends!
The drive through south Montana and Idaho to Utah was spectacular. Gustaff and I made sure to stop when we saw anything worth soaking in.

Washington State – Visitors from Canada!
For the first time in as long as I can remember I was having a bad allergic reaction to, I’m guessing, all the pollen in the air.

Arizona – Pleasantly surprised.
Our first stop in Arizona was at the Native American Baha’i Institute (NABI) in the Navajo Nation. We only got to spend one night there, but it was a wonderful night spent with some locals, staff at NABI, and a group of university students from Salt Lake, Utah. As soon as we arrived we joined a few friends for sunset… Read more →
Durango, Colorado – Finally some mountains!
Gustaff and I made a short stop for dinner in Santa Fe, New Mexico before heading up north to Colorado. We didn’t have a whole lot of time, but I got to have a brief look at Santa Fe’s downtown and it’s Latin influence. For dinner I had a beef burrito with really spicy green chili. It was delicious! As the… Read more →
