Good Enough???

Happy New Year. I wish you all a healthy, happy and well traveled 2025.

Is sometimes, good enough, really so?

That’s a question we frequently ask ourselves. We have been quiet for some time. Tune ups on our aging bodies. If you remember, we were in Colombia headed south when Melanie hurt her knee. We limped to Ecuador, her flying and limping, myself on the 650 donkey. Her knee never improved. The sad fact was she needed to get her knee fixed. The Doctor in Ecuador confirmed it with an MRI. Back to the US we went. Back to another Doctor. Stuck in Alabama again.

Fast forward four months. Four months of therapy. Swimming, training, Steroid shots and Gel shots. She finally got the okay to go again since the Orthopedic Surgeons recommendation was no surgery. We occasionally visited family. However, we really couldn’t leave because something was happening five days a week with her knee. Finally in December we got the all go.

The US election has past and we have another president. The anger has flipped. Half the country is still joyful and the other half is angry. The candidates shoved up our collective asses as choices, were poor. What can you do? It is time to go riding. I want to explore a new country and culture. I hope to possibly find my lost patience and sanity.

In a few days we will fly to Portugal and give Morocco another try. Don’t they say, “Third times a charm”?

Wish us good adventures. We will be hopping, well gently climbing, on the 2014 VStrom 650 for another ride in Portugal and Spain. Then, we will go on to a country we can’t wait to explore. Morocco!

There are some photos to follow of our few months home.

Cheers,
