Fossil Rim, Glen Rose Texas

So we took a little road trip about two hours from our house, down to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Preserve in Glen Rose Texas. We had been there before, only last time we took the mountain bikes to ride around certain areas of the park.

This time we decided to get up early to beat the Labor Day crowd, but as it turns out, we had some work to do here at the house & didn't leave for the park until 10pm.

We drove into Glen Rose looking for a place to eat as it would take us about two hours to drive around the park. After driving around for a while, we backtracked to a Mexican restaurant we had seen on our way there and stopped for some tacos. I'll give them a 7.

Once we got to the park we were surprised to see how many people had planned on doing the same thing. It was a holiday after all. The sign said the tour would take between 2 and 4 hours TO THE HALF-WAY MARK!

Over the hill we could see the line of cars slowly driving through the park. We figured WTH, we're already here, might as well do it.

Off we go...

Who would have thought, 2 different species of zebras. Eqqus burchelli and Eqqus canadensis tabida. Can you spot the differences? The first is black with white stripes, the second is white with black stripes.

And yeah, they are right there.  They are so used to people driving around the park feeding them that they pretty much just come in through the windows looking for food.

So we took a little trip today to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, TX.  There's a lot more to the story, but it's late & I need some sleep.  Here is a little preview of things to come.

Photo Bloopers #2

A failed Titanic moment.

I never expected the photo blooper post to have so much success!  I guess it is time to get back at my lovely wife with this failed attempt at acrobatics aboard the ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia.  Apparently "somebody" doesn't know how to jump straight up in the air and leaped to the right!

Photo Bloopers #1

Natalia came up with the great idea of posting some of our photo bloopers. I have a tendency to make faces when I know she is taking photos of me, and I try to compose myself right before she hits the shutter. Many times she's been faster than me...

It is in my best interest to post one of myself, before I start posting photos of her!  Here I am in Cartagena a couple of days before our wedding.  Natalia says I'm an "allegatere".

We interrupt your regular broadcast...

I just had to do a quick commercial break to show my lovely wife cooking for me!

Doing prep.
