manta ray from the pier

Awesome
It must have been awesome to see such a large manta ray. I've actually never seen one. I remember Playa del Carmen. I really liked that town. I have very vivid memories of a really nice café we went to several times. Wonder if it is still there... /Ake

A real suprise!
Hi Ake, yes it was a really good surprise to see such a majestic animal close to shore!

A few flamingos afar

We are not interested in birds usually...
But flamingos are adorable and we love them. /Ake

Cenote

I love the cenotes
We visited Yucatan many years ago and I have many fond memories from there. I absolutely loved the cenotes and they would be a very good reason for me to go back. /Ake

red eye frog

I just love frogs
Frogs are so cute. I saw a BBC documentary on TV a few years ago where they during the filming of the episone on frogs discovered a frog illness that was quickly spreading across the world. Back then they feared that the illness could cause massive devastation to frog populations all over the world. But from your pictures it is obvious that worst possible scenario has not come true. /Ake

Rocher Perce

Looks pretty cool
I think it looks pretty cool in the fog actually. At least some of it is visible. In Germany once I took a hike to Brocken, the highest peak in Harz Mountains. The fog was so thick that I could see about 10 meters. Needless to say that the supposedly great views from Brocken I haven't seen. /Ake

Walking in Taiga trail

A good place to hike
Hi Ake, yes many trails for very easy to hard backcountry style. This makes the park popular for many.

Tall waterfall on side of the road, alongside sea road

Could have been Norway
I've been driving in Norway twice and this photo reminds me of that. Quite often the road ran past waterfalls like the one in the picture. To stop at the occational waterfall is a pleasant way to break a long journey. /Ake

Hi Ake, Norway really look like a very picturesque country I want to visit in the future! In some trips, you have specific highlights you want to reach. In some others, it's the road itself that's the highlight, and I really enjoy this!

It looks like a nice place to hike./ Ake

It is annoying when international travel is restricted
I totally understand if you feel frustrated by not being able to travel abroad. But travelling in your own country can be quite rewarding as well we have noticed in the last two years. We have visited many interesting places in Sweden during the Covid years. And we are happy for that. /Ake

Yes, it gives us opportunities to discover or rediscover gems in our own country. ?

Beautiful leopard frog

We also hope to go abroad next year
We are also hoping to go abroad during next year. March we believe is too early but we have hopes for Easter holiday. But just like you we have been busy travelling our own country so the travel bug is under control. /Ake

Covered bridge

I love covered bridges
I love covered bridges. I guess the Bridges of Madison County is partly to blame for that. We like that movie so muuch that we once actually went to Madison County in Iowa and visited those bridges. That was awesome. /Ake

bald eagle

I'd love to see one myself
It would be cool to see a bals eagle myself one day. But I know so little about birds so I guess I would not be able to identify it if it happened. /Ake

Love these travel-in-your-own-backyard-blogs
There's been quite a few of these travel-in-your-own-backyard-blogs popping up in the last 18 months and I love them. I've been writing a few myself and I hope people enjoy them too. You and me, we are luck living in countries where we can do extensive travels and still not run out of places to visit. When I saw the map of your route I immediately thought of a place I want to visit - L'Anse aux Meadows. Google Maps says it's 27 hours drive away from Fort Ingall. It's not exactly next-door. IT only looks like it on the map. /Ake
