A Midnight Bottle of Wine

August 14, 2006 | Stories From The Road


After the game Friday, Char and I drove back to the hotel and enjoyed a bottle of wine on a small patio outside of the hotel. This photo was taken at about midnight, Friday. We decided that, after 32 years, we were able to stand each other long enough to travel together. At least most of the time. I am sometimes overbearing and hard to deal with, but Char has learned that this is one of my better qualities. I am unabashadly honest; I think she likes that.

About BoomerTrekker

When you travel, only one of two things can happen: something good or something bad; either way, you have a story to tell.

Boomertrekker.com is the cave wall on which I try to etch the stories and pictures of my travel experiences. You will find stories of setting out to go one place, but arriving at another; of finding, quite by accident, experiences that I could not have anticipated; of meeting and becoming friends with people whose language I cannot speak. Sometimes you will find me paralyzed and out of my comfort zone, as I was in Cambodia when I regretfully let pass my opportunity to eat a cricket. At other times, I hope you marvel, as I have, at the intelligence and ingenuity and inventiveness of ancient peoples everywhere. These are the stories I tell here. They are the stories of my travels to foreign lands in which I am the foreigner. Read More
