4 week road trip from Oregon all the way to Austin Texas and back, yeay 🙂
Stopping at Arches National Park in Utah
Took the long way back over Sedona and Grand Canyon, Arizona

For the first time I visited Croatia, flying into Split. A beautiful old city though (as to be expected in December) rather cold. Via Ferry the trip continues to the isle of Hvar, where we got dropped off in Stari Grad. From there, it’s just a few miles to the village of Dol. Beautiful simple stone houses, olive trees, rather green.

Found an out-of-the-ordinary AirB&B near Ukaih with several domes, a jurt, and a wooden hut for rent. The last 5 miles are dirt road, and when it rained it was a bit dicy, but all worked out well. Nice people running the farm, good connection with the woofers. They even have a sauna that gets fired up once a week :-).

It’s raining in Santa Barbara.

I stayed in this town with my love and her boyfriend for almost three years when this time came to a surprising and abrupt end.
I am perched in the hills over the city for days, looking down and inward, trying to get my arms around the new situation.

After about two weeks I decide to leave the area with a beautiful sunset, wavy clouds from the nearby wild fire.

Soaking on my way north at Franklin Hot springs.

After a few days warming up I am continuing towards Ukiah in northern California.
